One Come-Hither Look from the Sweet Siren, and the Ascetic Commander Is Head over Heels

Military marriage + devoted to each other + love at first sight + powerful man bows his head Delicate arts troupe officer + tough, cold military big shot Su Zhaoning is the celebrated beauty of the arts troupe. Her best friend drags her along to a matchmaking event. Gu Ci, an arrogant soldier who's won countless awards, falls for her at first sight, falls even harder the second time, and sweeps her and her whole household up by the third. Chasing-his-wife mini-scene “Comrade Su Zhaoning, I'm Gu Ci, deputy commander of the Second Army Regiment. As the ancients said, ‘A gentleman pursues a worthy maiden.’ I hereby request permission to court you. I hope you'll approve.” “Denied. You may leave.” “Understood, Commander Su. I'll submit another application tomorrow.” Su Zhaoning rolls her eyes gracefully and walks away. Watching the girl's retreating figure, Gu Ci's eyes roil with a fierce certainty that she'll be his. Big puppy mini-scene “Wifey, am I number one in your heart?” “Yes, yes, now go to sleep. We have morning drills tomorrow.” Dissatisfaction roils in Gu Ci's eyes at Su Zhaoning's dismissive answer. He lifts her chin with one hand, his gaze full of displeasure. His voice thick with grievance, he says, “Now that you've got me, you don't cherish me anymore. You used to give me a goodnight kiss before bed. Now you won't even look at me.” Su Zhaoning is yawning, but at his words, her sleepiness vanishes. She turns to see Gu Ci looking like a wronged little wife. Momentarily speechless, she cups his face in both hands and leans in to give him a fleeting kiss. Gu Ci instantly perks up like he's been injected with adrenaline, then rolls on top of her.
