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 light in the kitchen is dim, like tiny, flickering stars about to be swallowed by the surging darkness of the night.


The woman stands at the door, her camellia-yellow dress rustling in the wind, her hairpin flower fresh and dewy. She looks at the person in front of her and slowly starts to speak.


"Barging into homes in the dead of night without cause, and not even wearing a mask, is truly brazen and reckless," she said.


She paused, eyeing the other's increasingly round eyes due to surprise, and continued, "If not for being an old acquaintance, I would have thought that the medical shop was being robbed tonight."


Duan Xiaoyan, sitting on the ground, swallowed hard and suddenly felt a bit guilty.


Before he could come up with a suitable excuse to deceive the person in front of him, he heard her calmly inquire, "Having followed me all day, what important matter brings young master Duan here?"
