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

For several days, Xia Rongrong had been avoiding Lu Tong.


In the past, when Lu Tong was at the medical hall during the day, Xia Rongrong and her servants would follow him to help, but these few days she had stayed in the courtyard, unwilling to come out, and would even walk around to avoid him if they met. This behavior was too obvious. Du Changqing had asked her openly and in secret several times, and was brushed off by Xia Rongrong, who made him think that the two of them had quarreled behind closed doors.


Outside, dark clouds rolled, and Yin Zheng helped Lu Tong move a white porcelain statue of the Bodhisattva into the small Buddhist shrine inside the house.
