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

Du Changqing actually thought that Wu Youcai had taken the initiative to seek poison from her.


Indeed, in Du Changqing's eyes, there was no reason, she had no reason at all to encourage Wu Youcai to take his own life.


"Scholar Wu as well!" Du Changqing licked her lips, chastising with vexation, "Why think of taking poison in his dwelling, it's confusing! Even if he felt utterly disillusioned, there's no need to disregard his own life to such an extent."


Lu Tong's gaze shifted slightly, she said calmly, "To the poor who have nothing, facing death is to shed the word 'detest.' To the rich who have everything, facing death comes with the word 'reluctance.' To shed 'detest' feels like a weight has been lifted; to carry 'reluctance' is like bearing shackles."


Du Changqing replied irritably, "Don't be so literary, I don't understand."
