The Delicate Darling Joins the Army, and Her Rugged Husband Can't Get Enough

[Period setting + military marriage + sweet romance + size difference + aloof beauty comes down from her pedestal]

Tong Xi is the most pampered educated youth in Qingshui Village. She’s no good at work, but a champion when it comes to eating and drinking. To avoid labor, she clings desperately to Xu Ji, her military officer husband, who sends her money every month but rarely comes home.

Then rumors spread through the village: Xu Ji has a female arts troupe soldier in the army and wants a divorce!

Tong Xi panics. Determined to hold on to her steady source of income, she packs her bags and travels a thousand miles to “defend her territory.”

When they first meet, Xu Ji wears his training uniform, cold and hard as iron. He looks at her with disdain. “How am I supposed to take care of this spoiled girl? Send her back, quickly.”

Everyone in the army bets that this little wife, too delicate to lift a finger, will be crying and running home within three days.

But who could have guessed that Tong Xi would be so sweet and soft, with every little frown and smile just to his taste?

By day, she bats her reddened eyes in full view of everyone and begs for a hug, fending off her rivals.

By night, she wears Xu Ji’s white shirt in their cramped family quarters, looking both innocent and alluring.

Later, someone sees the decisive Colonel Xu kneeling on one knee to put shoes on his wife. His rough hand gently strokes her slightly swollen lips, and his voice is low and hoarse. “Wife, don’t lock the door tonight. My life is yours.”
