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

Unmoved, she smiled faintly, provocatively meeting his gaze, and uttered two words.


Pei Yunmeng's eyes flickered as he stared intently at the person before him.


The lamp burned to its base and became increasingly dim.


And in the hazy light, her eyes seemed clear and fragile, too weak to stand in her clothes, like the morning mist of deep autumn that dissipates into smoke at the touch of wind and sunlight.


When he saw her yesterday, she looked pale and frail, but today it was as if she had applied a light layer of rouge. That touch of pale red, like the color of plum blossoms on branches, added a few strokes of vivid beauty to her appearance, beauty that also hid a chill.
