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 pavilion was surrounded by onlookers, and the woman was dressed extravagantly and had an overpowering presence; she obviously came from a notable background.


In front of her, there was a large number of guards and old maids, and the tall guard at the very front was very familiar. Lu Tong remembered that yesterday, as she and Yin Zheng were going up the mountain, they had been squeezed to the side by a luxurious carriage at the temple gate that took the lead. The coachman of the carriage was arrogant and insolent, shouting at them from the front, and the guard she saw now was the same person.


The woman before her must surely be the owner of that carriage.
