Outside the intensive care unit at Weikang Hospital, Liang Qingqing’s tears fell as her childhood-sweetheart engagement reached its end.
Gu Yiye was gravely injured and unconscious, his future cut short. With no other choice, the two families who had been close for generations called off the engagement, leaving only his sleeping figure and everyone’s regret.
She was Cheng Xiuer, the caregiver hired by Old Master Jiang. Quiet and professional, she was supposed to be nothing more than a dutiful companion.
But day after day, she wiped away his cold sweat, read his favorite books by his bedside, and told him about the ordinary bustle of life outside the window.
While the iron-willed soldier slept in his hospital bed, she made her tenderness a shield, keeping watch through the long nights and waiting for his return.
