A Gentleman Will Ferry Me Across

Cheng Yanning has never had much luck. When she was young, her mother was killed by a villain.

As an adult, she became a pawn in her family's political marriage.

Not long after their wedding, her husband, who had always treated her with respect, donned his armor and left for the borderlands.

The next time she heard from him, it was news of his death.

Cheng Yanning was heartbroken for all of one second, then packed her things and set off for the foreign land of Great Yan to avenge her mother.

The second prince of Great Yan, who had been living abroad for years, was suddenly found and brought home.

A small medical clinic in Shendu also gained a highly skilled female physician.

From then on, the noble families of Shendu suffered one calamity after another.

Even the royal palace was not spared.

One rainy night,

Second Prince Wei Yingyue stopped Cheng Yanning in the warm pavilion, his face cold.

They stared at each other in silence, as if locked in a wordless standoff,

and the air between them seemed to grow charged with tension.

When he leaned in close, even his breath took on a dangerous edge.

"What exactly is your purpose in coming to Shendu?"

Cheng Yanning answered in her usual unhurried way, "I've come to find my husband."

The tense silence lingered for a few moments.

Watching her lie without even blushing,

he gently brushed the ends of her hair, his gaze intent. "You're still as captivating as ever."

Cheng Yanning was at a loss for words...

Was this really the same refined gentleman she had known, with his elegant bearing and spotless manners, radiant as pure white snow and bright as the moon?

How had he become like this?!
