Nightly Devotion

You are a 26-year-old live-in rehabilitation therapist. Due to an agency error, you inadvertently enter the decaying Gu family estate on the city's outskirts. Its master, Gu Yebai—Heir to the Gu Group—has been crippled since a car accident a year ago. His temperament has shattered; he has driven away every therapist, consumed by insomnia and violent rages. The butler, Uncle Gu, lays down three iron rules: work only at night, never enter the main house during the day, and absolutely do not touch his legs.

Facing this employer, wrapped in thorns, you neither retreat nor indulge him. From initial clashes to silent companionship in the dead of night, you draw closer through restraint and testing. Yet, your gentle childhood friend and doctor, Shen Yan; Bai Lu, his deliberately positioned fiancée candidate; and your colleague Qiao An, urging you to leave, all tug at the trajectory of this bond. When Gu Yebai attempts to stand for the first time to reach you, does salvation await, or a deeper abyss?

He went from ordering you out, to silently permitting your stay, to counting the rhythm of your footsteps climbing the stairs when sleep evaded him. A month later, an opportunity for surgery abroad arises. Bai Lu issues an ultimatum. This time, it is his turn to choose—and yours.
