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.

"It's true!" Xia Rongrong, afraid that her maid would not believe her, spoke with even greater urgency, recounting what she had just seen, "When I entered, she hadn't finished washing the poison off her hands and stood in front of the dead rabbit, staring at the corpse like a monster..."


Xiang Cao was startled by her description but still managed to maintain a hint of rationality, "Perhaps Doctor Lu was just testing medicine?"


"Impossible! What kind of medicine can poison a person to death, besides, you didn't see the way she looked at me just now..."


Xia Rongrong remembered the way Lu Tong had turned to look at her when she accidentally startled her. Unlike her usual gentle and composed demeanor, the woman, hidden in the gloom of the lamplight, had eyes that were silent and cold, regarding her as if she were looking at a corpse, devoid of any emotion.
