Ok so I read this book between 2016 and 2020. Her is what I remember about it:
- male lead is a warrior or mercenary
- has a sister who he brings to meet his wife
- marries woman and gains a rundown castle
- female lead lives a life of Luxuray and is forced to marry this guy by the king or something like that

The scenes that I remember is that in the beginning they get to this castle on the dowry land only to find out it is in shambles and needs a lot of work. The female lead has never done hard labor before but tries to help. Later she sees a mouse in the makeshift shelter and screams, husband comes in and rolls his eyes kind of attitude.
Sister of the male tells the female lead how growing up it was only the two of them, and they got into a bad situation (possibly living in a brothel for a little while) until the male lead got them out.
The castle also has an issue with bandits, who like to raid the castle supplies. The male warrior tells the bandits if they ever come back they will need to deal with him cause he is the protector of the townspeople (anyone who pledges loyalty to him) and the castle.
