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

Duan Xiaoyan became anxious upon hearing this, "It's not worth it, not worth it at all, I'm not worth it! Sister, please rethink this!"


"What's not worth it? Life is fleeting; when you die, you're buried. My girl, in the next life, we'll still be sisters."


Their diversion lightened the previously tense atmosphere a bit, and amid this laughable exchange, Lu Tong finally spoke.


She said, "Today, Young Master Duan dies here, and Lord Pei avenges him by killing my maid. It's likely that by tomorrow he won't let me off the hook, let alone Renxin Medical Hall."


"After all, Lord Pei is an imperial guard of the Emperor, with a noble status, making it a piece of cake for him to strike at us commoners."


She lifted her gaze, calmly locking eyes with the person opposite her.


"So today, none of us should leave through this door, let's die together."


At those words, not only was Duan Xiaoyan taken aback, but even Chi Jian at the door was startled.
