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 weather had become increasingly hot, and the days had stretched longer.


As summer neared, the peonies in the courtyard, long exposed to the sun, wilted somewhat, their faded reds concealed among the lush leaves, lacking their usual charming appearance.


Early in the morning at the Ke Mansion, Lady Qin was reprimanding the servants.


"What's with the servants in this house, failing to notice such a large puddle of water? The new velvet blanket I had replaced just yesterday is already stained with watermarks. It's all because you're spoiled, all of you growing lazy!"


Ke Chengxing had just changed his clothes and came out to hear Lady Qin chastising someone, causing him to frown.


He walked outside, clearing his throat softly and said in a softer tone, "What's there to be angry about? It's just a dirty blanket. Maybe last night's rain brought it in, perhaps some girl brought it in carelessly."
