Mountain Wanderer

Lu Tong spent seven years studying medicine in the mountains, but upon returning home, he found everything had changed.

His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

Lu Tong packed his medical kit and headed to the capital of Jingzhou.

'Debts must be repaid, and lives must be avenged!
'If there's no judge, then I'll be the judge from Hell!'

In the capital, noble families faced successive tragedies,
Commander Pei Yunxing quietly investigated the matter,
And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

Smiling Under Lanterns

Two days later, it was the annual Peach Blossom Festival in Shengjing.


In the midst of Luoyue Bridge, light boats shuttled back and forth like shuttles. On both sides of the riverbank, smoke-willow trees were heavily clustered. Following the riverbank for about six or seven miles, there was a small lake with a pavilion in its heart. Around the pavilion, three or two small boats were moored, which were the elegant scholars gathered here for pleasure during the Peach Blossom Festival.


This place was serene, surrounded by the lake on all sides, with a grand view of the riverbank upon lifting one's gaze and the moving sight of peach blossoms in the distance. Literary men and scholars favored this spot the most, gathering each year at the heart of the lake during the Peach Blossom Festival to compile several collections of poetry and literary selections.
