Synopsis

The year I died, a major event took place in the capital. The top scorer, Qin Lü, married the Prime Minister’s daughter, and the match became the talk of the town.

Clutching a farewell letter, I sank into the river, consumed by hatred for Qin Lü.

After death, I remained suspended between life and death, filled with resentment and drifting endlessly along the banks of the River of Forgetfulness.

Eventually, I became the Netherworld’s laziest ghost official and opened an inn by the river, naming it the Carefree Ferry.

A hundred years later, a strange man arrived at the river, and my lonely afterlife was turned upside down.

The Carefree Ferry sees all those burdened by worldly obsessions across the river.

The first crossing is for those who long for what they cannot have,

The second for those caught in a twist of fate,

The third for those who refuse to let go.

It does not ferry the living or wicked ghosts.

Xie Wuyou: “Granny, my obsession has faded.”

Meng Po: “Then why haven’t you crossed the River of Forgetfulness?”

Xie Wuyou: “Because... I’ve found a new obsession.”

Shen Heng: “Wuyou, cross the River of Forgetfulness.”

Xie Wuyou: “If I cross, I won’t remember you.”

Shen Heng: “Perhaps that’s for the best.”

Xie Wuyou spent a hundred years helping others leave their obsessions behind at the River of Forgetfulness, yet could never cross it herself, until Shen Heng appeared...

This is a love story about two people healing and saving each other.

What’s it like to have a golden finger in the Netherworld...?

This book truly captivated me at first sight; it's so good, the writing is amazing. It's humorous yet full of heart-wrenching moments. I never expected the second male lead to have such a dramatic twist; it was so heart-wrenching, it hurt my liver! Highly recommended. I haven't read such a high-quality book in a long time, absolutely amazing! 👍👍👍

I read a bit of this book elsewhere and managed to find the official version! Personally, I think the part before Wuyou regained her memories was better! The development of Shen Heng and Wuyou's identities and stories would have been more interesting for me. The story after she regained her memories was also good, though a bit clichéd.

Overall, it's captivating. I really liked Xie Wuyou's personality—her calm and carefree nature. The main reason I didn't give it five stars is because after Siming's death, Wuyou blamed the wrong person. I would have preferred her to calmly tell the Immortal Lord that she was willing to die for Siming, rather than blame Shui De. This made what should have been a very poignant scene unempathetic to me, and I even somewhat disagreed with the way it was written.

The plot is full of twists and turns, mainly focusing on emotional ups and downs. An ordinary girl, so utterly unremarkable, receives such genuine affection from two powerful immortals and a ghost lord, along with the familial friendship of various ghost messengers. Isn't the author being a bit idealistic? (I've been there, and I know the true nature of humanity.)

The idea of sacrificing oneself for the greater good seems to be a common trope in most fantasy dramas. However, what's novel here is that Shui De didn't distance himself from her upon learning she was destined for tribulation. Instead, he followed his heart, even at the cost of eternal damnation.

I don't know why the rating is so low. I think this book is quite good. The author's writing style is good, and the plot is well-conceived, but it only has a 7.7 Rating. If I only look at the rating when reading the book, I think I will miss out on this novel.

Super good! Sweet and angsty at the same time, with a wildly imaginative plot and excellent writing. It saved me from my reading slump! I haven't read such a high-quality novel in ages! 100% Recommended!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I'd be heartbroken if anyone didn't read it! [Staring emojis]

It's really good, but what happened to the ending? Was it unfinished?

The author's writing is excellent. Although it's a bit angsty, there are sweet moments amidst the angst. The emotions rise and fall with the plot, and finally, the ending arrives. Thankfully, it's a perfect ending; Wuyou and Shen Heng finally get together, allowing those heartbroken hearts to find peace. Thank you to the author for bringing us this wonderful novel.

The plot is intricate and the narrative is fast-paced. The writing is excellent, with plenty of humor at the beginning, followed by dramatic twists and turns, and a satisfying ending. It's a satisfying read with no regrets. It's the only novel I've been eagerly anticipating recently. Highly recommended!
