Name: He’ll Return Before Dawn
Author: Wisteria Branch

Synopsis

[Originally titled The Devil's Temperature; published under the title He'll Return Before Dawn. Available from Taobao, Dangdang, and JD.com.]

[This novel is complete. The new novel, The Gods Want You Tonight, is now underway.]

Reborn in 1996, the little dumpling Bei Yao was four years old when she knocked on the door across the hall.

Behind that door lived a devil who would bring disaster to the world twenty years later.

The devil, Pei Chuan, was five years old now, with both legs disabled, shy and insecure.

Later, when they were seventeen

Bei Yao became the belle of the high school.

Pei Chuan clutched the arms of his wheelchair, his face cold as he warned her, “Don't say you like me again, or else...”

Bei Yao put her arms around his neck and smiled sweetly at him.

Unable to resist, Pei Chuan gripped her waist. His repressed feelings overwhelmed him.

After being his beloved for two lifetimes, Bei Yao wanted to know what a devil's touch felt like.

1. The male lead is genuinely disabled. His legs are missing below the knees and will never recover.

2. [Sensitive and insecure × healing angel] A childhood friends story about taking care of each other, from the age of four to the wedding day. An uplifting novel.

3. Set in 1996, in a fictional world. Don't scrutinize the period details. A playful romance written to make you smile. Reasonable discussion and criticism are welcome, but don't start fights or attack anyone personally. Thank you~

Content warning: Since the male lead is genuinely disabled and has a sensitive nature, there will be some angst.

#He is the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of this world. He'll return before dawn#

Come say hi!

Tracking Fully Read Books 2

I'm open to all kinds of stories and have no major dislikes, but I generally avoid plot-driven stories where the protagonist renounces all love and emotion, as well as characters who feel too down-to-earth. I judge fictional characters based solely on my own values, not the author.

Personal Favorites: Pure BG Romance

I don't have many dealbreakers when it comes to stories. If I like it, I'll add it here. (For books I haven't bought in full, I read the print editions.) They're all five-star reads to me, but the rating system won't let me say so.
