Description
The genius sorcerer of the Riyat Empire, Ashin Judin. After a long war, she was casually enjoying a nap when the emperor issued an order. “Now that the war is over, you have nothing else to do. Get married.” The other person was someone Ashin knew well. Commander-in-Chief, Leotard Van Mur, whom she had clashed with on even the tiniest things during the war. ‘Even though it’s a political marriage, is it fine to get married like this? It seems like it would be better to run away for now.’ However, Leotard, having made a deal with the emperor, had no intention of letting Ashin go… “Whether you want it or not, running away isn’t an option.” “We both don’t want it, so why should we go this far?” “As long as you fulfill your marital duties, I wouldn’t ask for anything else. Not a child, not you.” Ashin believed that they could maintain their married life without seeing each other for at least three years, but is that true? ‘Wait, merely fulfilling my duties is enough? If it’s about marital duties…’

My Thoughts on A Night Lying on the Sand
"A Night Lying on the Sand" promised an adventure-filled romance, and after diving in, I can say it delivered on many fronts, though not without a few grains of sand in the gears. The blend of action, fantasy, and mature themes definitely makes it stand out.
First Impressions
The initial chapters drew me in with the intriguing premise of an arranged marriage between two capable leaders, set against the backdrop of a recently concluded war. I was quickly invested in understanding how their relationship would develop amidst political intrigue and the looming threat of a resurfacing enemy. The lighter tone, compared to the author's other works, was a welcome change, making it easy to settle into the story.
What Works Well
The character growth, particularly the couple's journey towards mutual trust and support, is a major highlight. I appreciated how both the female lead (FL), a bubbly and skilled sorceress, and the male lead (ML), a reserved and strong commander, had their own flaws and vulnerabilities. Their relationship felt genuinely healthy and their intimacy felt earned. The author's writing style is vivid, bringing the battle scenes to life, enchanting with nature descriptions, and touching in the romantic moments. The plot, while starting light, steadily escalates with the introduction of a powerful ancient enemy, leading to thrilling adventures and battles across a well-developed world.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the FL's character, I can see how some might find her tendency to take on dangerous tasks alone frustrating. It's a character flaw rooted in guilt, but it could be perceived as a recurring trope. Also, the distribution of plot armor between the main characters can be seen as uneven.

Final Verdict
Overall, "A Night Lying on the Sand" is an engaging and enjoyable read. The strong characters, compelling romance, and exciting plot make it a worthwhile adventure. While some aspects, like the FL's self-sacrificing tendencies, might not appeal to everyone, the overall package is a well-balanced and satisfying fantasy romance. I'd recommend it for those looking for a light yet engaging story with a strong focus on character and couple growth.
