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

The brief legal turmoil at Xinglin Hall took no more than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before it reached the ears of Renxin Medical Hall.


Du Changqing couldn't wait to put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter, his eyebrows nearly flying to the heavens, as he paced around the medical hall twice, excitedly saying, "This serves them right, serves them right indeed!"


Seeing that Lu Tong, who was arranging the medicine jars, remained unruffled, he approached with a smug face to flatter, "Doctor Lu, you really are a prophet. Now that old swindler Bai Shouyi doesn't even dare to open the doors of Xinglin Hall and is hiding inside like a coward. Serves him right! Scoundrels with such foul intentions deserve to suffer!"


Ah Cheng blinked, "I heard that a lot of people went to Xinglin Hall to accuse them of selling fake medicine, demanding a refund."
