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 master's offspring are masters generation after generation, and the servant's offspring are servants generation after generation...


Isn't that so? He had been running around for days, seeking help and giving gifts, to get Jiu'er into school, but Fan Zhenglian always gave him the brush-off. And when he tried hard to please Zhao Feiyan, she had the audacity to re-gift the local products he carefully prepared to the servants, ridiculing them as "pickles offered by poor ghosts".


Jiu'er couldn't get into the official school and could only attend those disreputable private schools. Even if there was an opportunity to compete in the future, what would the Shengjing officialdom be like in many years? Would it be as it is now, with the Ministry of Rites Examiners colluding with others, and rampant corruption in the tribute examinations? Whether Jiu'er would end up like him, or become another Wu Youcai who never made a name for himself, no one could say for sure.
