Tsundere aristocratic mecha pilot top (Vera) x sharp-tongued mechanic bottom (Lin Zhi)
#1
Lin Zhi is reborn at the age of sixteen. Once the king of mercenaries who had dominated the starry sea, he now finds himself on a junk planet with nothing. Worse than in his previous life, he has lost the ability to pilot a mecha.
At the brink of despair, he bonds with a mysterious livestream System.
The StarNet soon erupts.
Local gang: That kid's unarmed. No matter how good he is at fighting, he can't stand up to our guns and cannons. We've got the advantage!
Lin Zhi: (pulls out an ion cannon) I just made this by hand. Let's see how it works.
Resource Management Center: Even if the junk planet's natives make a fuss, their technology is still primitive. Those trash can only die along with their planet.
Lin Zhi: (starts up a mecha)
Resource Management Center: Holy crap! Someone here can build a mecha prototype?!
Netizens: This streamer just makes little inventions out of junk. Instead of worshipping him, you should admire the scientists who can truly advance technology.
A certain military research institute sent an encrypted message in the middle of the night: His energy circuit designs far surpass current standards in both energy efficiency and cost control. We must find him at any cost!
Discarded parts flew and reassembled beneath his fingers. The military offered a fortune for his blueprints, and top universities sent him special invitations...
Lin Zhi looked at the invitation and replied coolly: My usual terms. The money has to be good, and you're bringing my people along.
The military looked at the people he meant and saluted in shock. "Duke... No, Your Excellency, Commander..."

Lin Zhi found a beautiful, blond youth on the junk planet, barely clinging to life.
Later, the whole universe speculated that the streamer had a haughty, high-maintenance partner.
Vera looked down on everyone. He was noble and arrogant, a flower atop an unreachable peak in other people's eyes.
He thought so himself, too.
As for letting this local order him around on the junk planet, secretly bringing Lin Zhi breakfast at school, secretly protecting him from injury during mecha tests, and quietly putting up with every cutting remark Lin Zhi made...
Even embarrassingly searching online for "what kind of confession does a mechanic like?"
That was all a coincidence!
Vera's identity was exposed, and at last he had to return to his own world,
where he had promised Lin Zhi a future filled with everything he could give him.
That night, Lin Zhi packed all his blueprints and applied for a transfer.
Vera pursued him across thousands of miles, cast aside his pride, and offered him his whole heart.
Lin Zhi's expression remained cool. "We're not meant for the same path."
After their falling-out,
the whole universe reached the same verdict: whenever the genius mechanic and the Empire's feared killer met, it would be a fight to the death.
The Empire's iron cavalry crushed the place where Lin Zhi had taken refuge.
Vera led his fleet to the city gates.
Energy cannons tore through the spaceport's defenses, and a broadcast resounded across the star sector: "Bring Lin Zhi out."
The cannons loomed ominously. The entire star sector fell silent.
Amid the smoke, a beautiful commander radiating an imposing presence leaped down from his mecha. He walked through the terrified gazes of thousands,
straight to Lin Zhi, and pressed a star-flame flower, burning like fire, into his palm.
#The Silver Revolutionary Army's chief technical officer says the flower can just about cover the repair costs#
#The God of Death gives him a flower and gets scolded for wasting energy#
#You want to fight a war, but you're giving me a love story?#
#My ship has reconciled#
This time, they would walk together to the very end of the sea of blood, until the gears of fate turned in their favor.
