I'm Really Not the Villain!

[Blurb captured on 2022.12.31]

In his previous life, Leng Yuan was a genius mech pilot and the Empire's sharpest weapon.

After an accident, he and his sworn enemy Miao Yan died in battle, becoming legends...

Or so you would think.

When Leng Yuan woke again, he opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by members of an enemy organization. They looked at him with delight and burst into applause.

"Congratulations, BOSS! You've come back to life! Now we can finally attack the Empire again!"

Leng Yuan: "...?"

What was going on? How had he transmigrated into his sworn enemy? This wasn't how the story was supposed to go!

·

In his previous life, Miao Yan was the boss of a dark organization. He was powerful, insane, and guilty of every imaginable evil, yet he had a special fondness for that genius.

So he used the pretext of attacking the Empire to pick fights, while also putting his own plan into motion: expose the Empire's corruption and make that general take a good look at the dark side of the world.

Then he and Leng Yuan died together.

When he woke again, the Empire's finest commander and doctor were looking down at him with solemn faces. Their voices heavy, they said:

"You've finally woken up, General Leng. Something terrible has happened. Miao Yan has come back to life! We need your strength!"

Miao Yan: "...?"

What the hell? They wanted him to fight himself? Was something wrong with them?

·

When Miao Yan and Leng Yuan met again on the battlefield, both could sense the other's soul clearly, and they fell silent.

Leng Yuan: "How about we find somewhere to talk this over?"

Miao Yan: "Sounds good to me."

So, under the watchful eyes of both organizations, they once again "died together" and went missing, joining forces to find a way to switch their bodies back.

Yet on this long journey through the universe, an unknown flower quietly blossomed in the shadows, impossible to ignore.

"I crossed the Milky Way, traversed the rifts between space and time, and offered my soul to dawn and night, to the stars glittering in the dark, to the wildest adventures and the worst decisions, all so I could hold on to your hand."
