A sweet romance between a steady, sharp-tongued general and a seemingly aloof but secretly weepy heroine. Almost no angst, just so much sweetness that being yours is all I could wish for.
Back then: “Brother Xuanxiao, I really like you.”
“I only see you as a little sister.”
Now: “General, since we’re sworn siblings, why lead me on if you won’t marry me?”
“When will you understand that I like you, and not in a sibling kind of way?”
It’s not easy being the sworn little sister of a heart-stealer. There’s a challenge waiting around every corner.
“Your family wants to marry you to a highborn lady. My family are only wealthy merchants from the Western Regions, so we’re not good enough?”
“Those official ladies used to look down on me. Now that I’ve been granted an estate, who’s still going to quibble about rank?”
How many steps does it take for a weepy young lady to grow into a wealthy county lady who can stand on her own in court?
“Whether we’re at the frontier or in the capital, you’ll always be my darling.”
“Whether it’s in public or in private, you’re still just an utterly clueless, hopelessly straight guy to me!”
