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

She looked toward Lu Tong, her smile carrying a perfunctory softness, "Besides, I am faint-hearted and can't stand to see such scenes. Doctor Lu, please go inside quickly."


Lu Tong acted as if she didn't see her evasive behavior, saying nothing as she and Yin Zheng walked to the door and lightly knocked.


A wary voice came from behind the door, "Who is it?"


A maidservant from Meng Xiyang's side stepped forward and said through the door, "It's the Resident Doctor from the medical clinic on West Street, who is delivering medicine at our residence today. The Medical Officer and the Midwife have not arrived yet, so the lady specially instructed Doctor Lu to come and see the Princess Consort."


After a moment, a feeble voice came faintly from inside.


The door creaked open halfway, and Lu Tong and Yin Zheng entered.


Upon entering, they were greeted with a pungent, fishy smell.
