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 next day, the 15th of the eighth lunar month, mid-autumn in Shengjing.


Early in the morning, the fragrance of osmanthus wine wafted through West Street.


Du Changqing and Ah Cheng arrived earlier than usual. Du Changqing wore a robe of apricot-yellow with a round collar and an embroidered sash, while Ah Cheng was clad in a tender yellow short garment with a round collar. Both had deliberately put on new autumn clothes and stood under the plum tree at the entrance, looking like two vibrant osmanthus branches in full bloom.


Lu Tong and Yin Zheng came out of the shop. Du Changqing first hesitated to comment on Yin Zheng's lilac-colored skirt with pick-up stitches; however, when Lu Rou emerged afterward, his gaze lingered on her half-worn deep blue cotton skirt and didn't move away.
