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 rain intensified, and the silver candles burned quietly on the desk.


Under the flickering light, two people stood facing each other in the room.


After a long silence, Lu Tong spoke, "How did you recognize me?"


She should have realized earlier; with Pei Yunmeng insisting on pouring wine, watching the zither performance and dancing, and even offering a shoulder rub, it was clearly deliberate teasing. Yet she had thought this was just Pei Yunmeng's nature, flirting intentionally with the summoned dancers.


However, she was wearing a veil and her makeup was elaborate, not to mention she hadn't uttered a sound. How did Pei Yunmeng recognize her?


The young man sighed and shook his head, "Other girls have eyes brimming with affection, but your eyes... they can radiate a murderous aura within a ten-mile radius."


He laughed, "Who could you possibly fool?"


She truly wanted to blind this man right in front of her with a handful of ash.
