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 neighbors laughed heartily, but Mother blushed with shame and came over with a wooden stick to chase after her, "You dead girl, spouting nonsense again!"


Come nightfall, she hid under the covers and watched her mother mend old clothes under the lamp beside the bed. She then asked, "Mother, why should one read books? I don't like reading."


Her mother paused her needlework, thought for a moment, and answered, "Reading is like taking medicine; with enough medicine, strength comes of its own accord."


"Read more books, and you can resolve your doubts."


"Resolve doubts?" Young Lu Tong pouted, "If I have any doubts, I can go ask Father, ask Sister, ask Second Brother."


"You," her mother rebuked gently with a smile, touching her forehead, "when they are not by your side, if you have something you don't understand, you can find the answer in books."
