Peng Yu was a ferryman, rowing a boat along the River Nai for over a hundred years.
Her mistress was disabled in both legs and lived at Granny Meng's Manor. The world called her Granny Meng Qi Yi. The manor was ten li from the River Nai ferry crossing. Peng Suhua had to travel back and forth to work every day, then care for her mistress at night. It was exhausting.
But ever since Peng Yu died, it was as if she lived only for the woman at Granny Meng's Manor. After hundreds of years, she had come to accept it wholeheartedly.
One day, the River Nai surged, and a huge wave swept over Peng Yu's little boat, dragging her under.
Her disabled mistress hurried to the river and leapt into its poisonous waters to pull her out.
Half-conscious, Peng Yu heard Granny Meng Qi Yi crying. Qi Yi held her and said, “Wei Niang, you still haven't repaid what you owe me. No one can take you away from my side.”
“Who is Wei Niang?”
