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

Suddenly agitated, Du Changqing grasped Lu Tong's wrist, "Doctor Lu, you must help me!"


Lu Tong looked down, her gaze falling on his hand. Du Changqing coughed lightly, retracting his hand sheepishly, and looked at her before speaking again, "Doctor Lu, do you have a way to help me?"


Lu Tong said, "I have a way," but before Du Changqing could smile, she continued, "But why should I help you?"


Du Changqing paused, replying almost reflexively, "As friends, of course, we should have loyalty!"


The tiny oil lamp, like a solidified orb of light, held the atmosphere still. Yin Zheng and Ah Cheng cautiously kept quiet, and Du Changqing eyed the person across the table, a flicker of confusion crossing his gaze.


Of all the people he knew, Lu Tong was the strangest.


As Young Master Du, who had embraced an efete life for years, surrounded by companions who, like himself, only cared about indulgence with no understanding of worldly sufferings.
