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

Sister Song arrived at the butcher shop, and by now, it was almost evening. Only a little bony scrap meat was left in the shop, and Dai Sanlang was tidying up the cutting board, about to close up for the day.


Sister Song loved to buy meat at this time. The price right before closing was almost half what it would be in the morning.


"Sanlang," Sister Song said familiarly, "same as always."


Dai Sanlang grunted in acknowledgment, gathered the scrap meat from the wooden cutting board, and wrapped it in oiled cloth.


He furrowed his brow, his figure resembling a bloated little hill. Due to the summer heat, sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking through his thin shirt and making it visibly damp. At a glance, he looked like a huge, just-out-of-the-pot, soy-braised sweet dumpling.


"Sanlang," Sister Song could not help but say, "Have you put on more weight recently?"
