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

The pain was not severe at first, but it gradually became unbearable. She curled up into a ball, writhing on the ground in agony, not knowing what had happened to her.


Just when Lu Tong thought she was about to die, Lady Yun appeared.


Lady Yun, carrying a lantern, came down from the mountain to look for her.


She stood on the steps, looking down at the wretchedly pained Lu Tong, her face illuminated by the lantern's light, as was the smile at the corner of her mouth.


Lady Yun's tone was gentler than usual, and her expression was as if she had never noticed the fact that she had run away.


She asked with a gentle smile, "Little Shiqi, what are you doing here?"


The woman looked at her thoughtfully and suddenly asked in surprise, "Could it be, you wanted to escape?"


At that time, she was in too much pain to speak, her lips almost bitten through.


Lady Yun's voice came unhurriedly, like an inescapable curse.
