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

Lu Tong returned to the dwelling at the end of the long corridor and knocked on the door gently.


Yin Zheng, waiting at the door, quickly opened a crack, and Lu Tong stepped in briskly.


Yin Zheng looked at her nervously, "Did the young lady finish everything?"


Lu Tong uttered a sound of affirmation.


Yin Zheng finally sighed with relief and helped Lu Tong take off her cloak, peeled the oilcloth from the outer part of her shoes, and carefully burned it by the fire.


"Young lady, the incense..." Yin Zheng inquired again.


"I scattered it into the stream on my return. With the heavy rain tonight, the water will wash it away, leaving no trace."


Yin Zheng nodded, and this time she completely set her worries aside: "That's good."
