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 had just returned to West Street from the noodle shop when he saw the lamps burning bright inside Renxin Medical Hall from a distance.


Yin Zheng muttered, "It's so late already; why hasn't Shopkeeper Du gone home? Usually, he would have closed the shop by now."


Du Changqing was a lazy man. When Lu Tong first arrived at the medical hall, Du Changqing pretended to be diligent for a few days. But later on, he would only show up after daybreak and leave before dusk. This made some newcomers mistakenly think that Lu Tong was the owner of the medical hall, while Du Changqing was an assistant who would eventually be sold off.


Lu Tong and Yin Zheng walked over and, as they came closer, saw several people standing at the entrance of Renxin Medical Hall, appearing to be talking.
