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 shop assistant from Lu Yuan's pawnshop entered the room and quickly brought out two large copper trays lined with rose-red velvet. Various jewels that had been cleaned were presented on the trays.


The elderly shopkeeper smiled and said, "Here are the newly arrived pieces of jewelry, Miss, please feel free to choose whatever you like."


In one of the copper trays were expensive items like jade, jadeite, and agate hairpins and headdresses, while the other held simpler silver bracelets and rings with scrapes, as well as ordinary ornament necklaces and waist accessories.


Lu Tong set down her teacup, looking at both copper trays, her fingers slowly tracing the carved edge of the trays.


After Ke Chengxing's death, the Ke Family's business suffered, and Madam Ke had to pay off the debts by selling household belongings.
