Book Ferry

Yun Yao is a bookworm through and through. Her life has only three rules: read, cuddle cats, and avoid socializing.

She’s done two things that shocked everyone:

At fourteen, she wrote a happy ending for Erebus, the male lead of a tragic story. After her younger brother submitted the manuscript to a writing contest, it won first prize. The nickname “Bookworm Princess” left her mortified in front of friends and family for years.

At twenty, she married a man she’d never met just to get her hands on a set of out-of-print books. On the day they registered their marriage, she accidentally knocked the man to the ground.

“Such enthusiasm for our first meeting?”

“Miss Yun Yao, I’m your husband-to-be, Shay Bernardoson Abraham.”

When his aquamarine eyes curved with warmth, Yun Yao heard her worldview shatter.

The hero of the novel she’d continued had run right out of the book?!

Shay was born into an ancient Northern European family. With his handsome looks, blond hair, and blue eyes, he was raised from childhood to be a puppet heir.

As a child, “kept” by his grandmother, he thought he would rot away in that lightless tower, until he met Yun Yao.

Later, he fled his family twice and crossed the ocean to find her. But she paid no attention to him, beautiful as an immortal, with eyes only for books and words.

So he picked up his pen again, bringing “Erebus,” the protagonist of the novel she had continued, to life. He became a legend in the overseas literary world, then lured her into marrying him with a set of out-of-print books, carefully laying his plans one step at a time.

“I was once a prisoner confined to a tower, while you were the bluebird who brought me freedom.

I made a boat of all the knowledge and affection I’ve gathered in my life, and oars of stories and promises. I crossed oceans and defied my family, all to reach the island where you stood alone.

From now on, you are my far shore and my way home. You write the ending of the story, and I will fill in the chapters of the rest of our lives.”

Both are each other’s first, happy ending, seven-year age gap

The male lead’s appearance is based on the anime The Case Files of Jeweler Richard
