The Curvy Little Darling Seeks Refuge with a Rough Army Officer Who Spoils Her

[Period setting + sweet romance + following him to the army + older, fatherly yet youthful officer × curvaceous, flirtatious, pampered heiress] Xia Qingwu was beautiful, always the center of attention wherever she went. But beauty wasn’t always a ticket to a better life. Sometimes it only attracted the wrong kind of attention. A dance at her graduation ceremony caught the eye of a lecherous old man who wanted to force her into marriage. With his overwhelming power and one despicable scheme after another, she had no choice but to flee far from home and seek refuge with her second brother at the military base. She could also meet the man her family had promised her to when they were children. After years apart, her childhood sweetheart had become a taciturn, fierce officer. She had thought she was only going there to escape, and that the matchmaking would be a side matter. She never expected someone to set his sights on her as soon as she arrived at the base. A childhood betrothal is still a betrothal. He had never said it didn’t count. In fact, Shen Xiangchen had already submitted his marriage application and was just waiting for her to say yes. Now that he finally had the pampered girl from his childhood in his hands, there was only one thing to do. Dote on her, and dote on her to the very end. If she wanted the stars, he wouldn’t give her the moon. He would spoil Xia Qingwu so much that she could never leave him. Everyone at the base knew Shen Xiangchen had a precious treasure. He was afraid she would fall if he held her in his hands, and afraid she would melt if he kept her in his mouth. He had raised her until she was fair, delicate, and full of spirit. At first, everyone wondered why the ever-arrogant Colonel Shen treated a young woman so well. Only later did they learn that she was the apple of Shen Xiangchen’s eye, his first love, the beloved he could never have, and the regret that haunted his dreams at night. Shen Xiangchen had only one thought when it came to Xia Qingwu: The moon hangs high in the sky, but it should shine on me alone.
