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

After Grain Buds, the rains in Shengjing began to increase.


With the waters under Luoyue Bridge rising deeply after the Grain Rain Festival, "The silkworm women boiled the cocoons and spun silk on their wheels," new silk hit the market, invigorating the business of the neighboring tailors and silk shoe shops day by day.


The cool morning and evening breezes caused Shopkeeper Du to dress too lightly and carelessly, resulting in a cold, which greatly reduced his visits to the medical hall these past few days. Business at the medical hall turned sluggish, with hardly anyone seeking treatment after the "Chun Shui Sheng" remedy stopped being sold.


Ah Cheng returned from the market with bitter herbs, fitting for the Grain Buds season to boost energy and lighten the body. Lu Tong cleaned and prepared the bitter herbs in the medical hall, listening to the idle talk of the West Street vendors.
