Bedtime Guide / A Guide to Falling Asleep

❤️ Main Relationship

Liang Chong (梁崇) × Ning Yiwei (宁亦惟) Fandom ship name: Unknown (commonly referred to simply as 梁崇×宁亦惟)

✨ Introduction

《入睡指南》 is a modern BL web novel by 卡比丘, serialized on 长佩文学 (Changpei) in 2018 and completed at 44 chapters (including extras). It is a "zhu ma zhu ma" (childhood friends) story with an older-seme dynamic: a calm, restrained, devoted CEO and a blunt, sharp-tongued, emotionally oblivious genius.

Ning Yiwei is a physics prodigy who skipped grades into D University's gifted program and works on research projects. Liang Chong, eight years his senior, is the young CEO of the Liang Group. They met as children because Yiwei's foster mother worked as a housekeeper in the Liang household, and the two grew up side by side. Liang Chong gradually fell in love, but kept his feelings in check, believing Yiwei was too young and too innocent to choose for himself.

The romance progresses as mutual secret pining: Liang Chong quietly protects and spoils Yiwei, while Yiwei — a straight-line-thinking science brain — depends on him completely without ever questioning why, until his heart finally starts "accelerating like a little ball bouncing in his chest."

🌏 Background

The story is set in contemporary China, split between a university campus (D University, its physics labs and gifted-class research group) and the corporate world of the Liang Group. The central mystery concerns Yiwei's origins: as his conflict with Kong Cong (孔偬), the good-for-nothing son of his academic advisor, escalates, a long-buried secret about a baby swapped at birth comes to light, and it turns out Liang Chong is connected to that secret as Kong Cong's cousin. This revelation forces both leads to face their feelings honestly.

🎭 Themes & Tone

Ning Yiwei: "Liang Chong's key card, Liang Chong's room, the call Liang Chong makes when he can't sleep — they should all be mine." (梁崇的房卡，梁崇的房间，梁崇睡不着要打的电话，都应该是我的…)
