Team Captain Jiang’s Dearest!

[Wild and alluring heroine, outwardly roguish but secretly tender hero]

Beneath his rugged exterior is a doting boyfriend, a hopeless romantic, and a big softie who cries easily. This fierce, charming woman is forced to soothe her man.

(Both are each other’s first, both are strong, with a notable height difference. She’s an archaeology team leader; he’s a special forces captain.)

Archaeology isn’t some tomb-raiding adventure. Even a gentle beauty has to pick up a shovel, working with her back to the sky and her face to the earth.

Xu Zhiwei had barely stepped off the high-speed train when she ran into antique smugglers. She’d cleared human bones from tombs, seen bone pits, and explored massive burial sites, but she’d never had a knife held to her throat.

…

The man fell into an ash pit trying to save the little penguin who’d climbed over the wall, and Jiang Beichen lost his first kiss at twenty-six. “Could you stop kissing me already?” … The two were caught embracing back-to-back in a pit by the entire public security force and armed police brigade. Xu Zhiwei made a name for herself in one fell swoop.

…

A special forces soldier is the real deal. Who is that camouflage uniform supposed to seduce to death? But Captain Xu may look soft and delicate, yet she has a fierce heart. When it comes to love, she’s straightforward and… Her teasing leaves the roguish man’s ears bright red.

…

But a relationship between an archaeology team leader and a special forces soldier was never going to be ordinary. He wields a combat knife to catch drug dealers; she excavates archaeological trenches and commands the whole site. In the face of their convictions, love seems small.

…

“Team Leader Xu, pardon me for asking, but when exactly is the work at your archaeological site going to wrap up? I don’t want to sleep in a bunk bed at the site again this time. Waaaah!”
