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

This statement is not very pleasant to hear, and it took a moment for Cui Min to barely maintain his composure before he said, "Envoy Cui feels ashamed, not having the keen eye for talent as you do."


Qiu He waved his hand, "Well, if you hadn't assigned Physician Lu to the Southern Pharmacy, how would I have known that your Medical Officer Institute harbored such a talent? I won't hide from you that my visit today is to ask you to hand someone over."


He looked at Lu Tong with a smile, nodded in satisfaction, and spoke in a benevolent tone that was, however, aggressively insistent, "Envoy Cui, the Hanlin Medical Institute is a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, brimming with talent, and Doctor Lu could only tend to the gardens here. In my opinion, our Imperial Apothecary is far more suitable for Doctor Lu. If Doctor Lu joins us, I will ensure that she fully utilizes her pharmacological expertise and does not waste her talent."
