In the Sleeping Beauty's chamber.
Every morning, Nalan Ye Jue's necessary task is to draw back the curtains and let Qin Xin soak up the sunlight.
Then patiently, he brings a basin of warm water to gently wipe her little face, neck, arms, and hands.
She remains in a deep sleep and cannot eat, relying on nutrient injections to sustain her life, so he stays by her side without ever leaving.
After the morning injections are complete, he starts to massage her hands and feet, performing slight movements—if bedridden patients don't move, their muscles will quickly waste away, and even their joint functions will degrade.
This tedious work could have been done by medical staff or servants, but he does it all himself, not allowing others to touch Qin Xin casually.
In the afternoon, he goes to the garden to pick the most beautiful blossoms of the day and places them on her bedhead—those with too strong aromas are rejected, only choosing flowers with a cold scent akin to her demeanor.
