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 woman before him spoke indifferently, without a trace of resentment. Being in officialdom himself, how could he not understand these convoluted affairs? For the Medical Officer Institute to put forward a commoner female medical officer as a scapegoat was just their way of not wanting to invite trouble onto themselves. Yet, to preserve their own interests, they actually hid the true condition of his illness from him, not fearing they might delay his chances for a future... Such shameless wretches!


He suddenly thought of his late father who, past his prime, had gradually become unable to perform in bed. He suffered scorn behind his back in the inner courtyard, became gloomier by the day, and within a few years, his repressed depression took him early to his grave.


Yet he was not even thirty-five until two months later!
