The Rugged Officer and His Delicate Darling

The Wen family has lost everything. Overnight, their sheltered daughter is branded a capitalist's child and shunned by everyone she knows. Her parents scramble to arrange a paper marriage that will carry her far from the city, to a military posting in the barren Northwest.

At the reception desk, the officer she's been assigned to marry looks up. She's called him Brother for more than ten years.

Song Tingyue was the Wen family's adopted son, raised beside her, devoted to her, and repaid with nothing. Reclaimed by his birth father, he rose in a few short years to become the most feared regimental commander in the district.

Now the whole garrison knows the commander guards one treasure. In a place of yellow sand and cutting wind, she only grows softer and brighter, coaxed and spoiled by a man who trains his soldiers like animals and calls her his little sister.

She has come to hate those two words.

So she sets out to make him stop saying them.
