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

Darke clouds pressed the sky into a dim, black heaviness, the mourning hall was desolate and bleak, paper money fluttered like snow in the courtyard, and the sound of someone's footsteps approached slowly, unhurried and steady.


The woman was wrapped in a plain white gown, with the wild wind billowing her skirt, but the frost-colored silk flower by her temple was as pristine as suet, in the flickering candlelight of the crumbling mourning hall, amid the fluttering paper money, her face gradually appeared, like a fleeting ghostly dream, seemingly illusionary yet real.


Wu Youcai gazed blankly at the woman before him, thinking, "Why is she also wearing mourning clothes?"


The woman stopped in front of him, her eyes downcast as she looked at him: "Young Master Wu."


Wu Youcai suddenly snapped back to reality.


The visitor was Lu Tong, the Resident Doctor of Renxin Medical Hall.
