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

Lu Tong left the Dong Residence when it was already noon.


At this time, the sun was at its strongest, and fearing the heat of summer, Lady Dong arranged for the Dong family's carriage to take her back.


Riding along in the carriage was an old servant, Missus Wang, a servant of the Dong family, who also accompanied Lu Tong back from Wan'en Temple previously.


Missus Wang's manner towards Lu Tong was much more polite than before, chatting with her amicably the entire way. When they arrived at Renxin Medical Hall, Lu Tong thanked Missus Wang and was about to lift the carriage curtain and alight when suddenly, she heard Missus Wang exclaim "Eh" from beside her.


Lu Tong turned her head, and Missus Wang pointed outside the carriage, "Isn't that Lord Pei?"
