The Real Heiress Only Wants to Repair Mecha at Military Academy

(Military academy + interstellar setting + mecha competitions + true and fake heiress + family power struggles + strong heroine, career-focused) Luo Shui, from the Lower City, had been scraping by repairing all kinds of battered mechas. Then a bloodline test to distinguish the true heiress from the fake one sent her to Luolan Mecha Military Academy. She had only wanted to keep a low profile and get by, content to spend every day in the workshop peacefully repairing mechas. But the fake heiress, Ruomeng, who had taken her identity and the family heirloom, was deeply wary of her and deliberately targeted her at every turn. On the battlefield, the battered mecha she had modified took first place in the entire department with its long-range sniping. In the maintenance workshop, the academy’s top students lined up to have her tune their mechas. She fought her way to victory through department leagues and interstellar wilderness assessments, while every one of the fake heiress’s underhanded schemes fell flat. The elders of the Yan family kept pressuring her to return and choose sides, while one prodigy after another from the military academy came over to flirt and curry favor. Covered in machine oil, Luo Shui remained impassive, politely turning down every distraction: “Don’t bother me. Compared to fighting for fame and fortune, I just want to repair mechas in peace.” When the final comprehensive rankings were released, she topped both the piloting and mecha maintenance lists. Only then did everyone realize that the Yan family’s true heiress, who had deliberately kept a low profile and avoided the limelight, was a top military academy dark horse with hidden depths.
