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

Dark clouds weighed heavy in the sky, and a gray fog shrouded everything, making even the daylight appear dim. The wind caused the lanterns hanging from the eaves of the medical clinic to sway as if they might fall at any moment. Lu Tong, carrying her medical kit, boarded the horse carriage with Yin Zheng.


The carriage had been hired for them by Du Changqing, and it had been waiting at the door early on.


Wan'en Temple was situated at the peak of Mount Wangchun. To get there from West Street would take at least half a day's carriage ride. Du Changqing had given Lu Tong a day's leave, with the only requirement that she return by tomorrow evening to close the shop.


The carriage sped along the road. Yin Zheng couldn't help but pull back the carriage curtain to look outside, marveling at the brilliant scenery along the way, while also anxious about the possibility of rain during the journey, making the muddy roads difficult to traverse.
