We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and an expression of the （anti）reflexive solution with respect to the nontrivial generalized reflection matrix P to the system of complex matrix equations AX = B and XC = D.

The representations of such solutions are also presented.Moreover, some auxiliary results on other systems over R are obtained.
