What will happen when a handsome general was assigned to her? To look out for her or to take her hand and marriage?

A coming of age story placed after chapter 205 so spoilers ahead. Shinobu sees Giyuu as a little brother, especially since he's five years younger than her.

On the flip side, Giyuu has been hopelessly in love with Shinobu and has been trying for years to get her to see him as a man rather than a little brother. However, she's always one step ahead of him and he's always chasing after her. Five years is a large gap and it doesn't help that she doesn't want to see him in any other way. Yet he can't help but to reach out to her again and again. In their previous lives neither were able to reach out to each other. However, with a second chance, will they get their ever after?

What happens, however, when you're forced to move into a dorm with Tomioka? (None of the characters are my own original characters ;))

One day she gathered her courage to confess to her crush only to get her heart shattered. ~She is now trying her best to be happy for her sister who just started a relationship with her crush but Tomioka is only dragging Shinobu towards him

Shinobu was the best student in her class in her freshman year. Because of that, she was transferred to Grade 11 since the school thought that she was smart enough to handle it. She was actually happy since most of them were her friends anyway. That was except for one

Giyuu Tomioka had long abandoned the notion of love. His heart, hardened by duty and regret, carried the weight of Shinobu Kocho's death-an event that shattered him beyond repair. She had been his light, but he failed to protect her. The guilt was a constant shadow in his life. Then, impossibly, fate gave him a second chance. Shinobu stood before him, alive, the same warmth in her eyes. The world seemed to pause, but as he faced her, one question remained: could he save her this time? Could he protect his butterfly, or would history repeat itself? credits to haiyunee for the cover art
