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

Years had passed, and the once bright and elegant young man had become much more composed. Liu Kun was both surprised and delighted, yet Lu Qian's smile seemed forced.


Lu Qian had come because of Lu Rou's funeral.


Liu Kun had known the news long ago and felt deep regret. When Lu Rou first arrived in Shengjing after getting married, she had visited the Liu Family. But her husband's household was wealthy and had strict rules, especially her mother-in-law, who was particularly harsh; thus, Liu Kun felt it improper to shamelessly visit time and again, and their contact gradually ceased.


Liu Kun believed Lu Qian had come for the mourning, but Lu Qian told him that there was more to Lu Rou's death.


The secret Lu Qian revealed was shocking, leaving Liu Kun feeling as though his soul was scattered. The young man, as resolute as he had been in his youth, clenched his teeth and swore to seek justice for his unjustly deceased sister.
