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

East Panlou Street, the Qiqiao Market was bustling.


With carts and horses filling the market and Luo Qi crowding the street, stalls selling Qiqiao festival items lined up along the road. Children dressed in fine clothes bought newly-bloomed lotus flowers to wear on their heads, pretending to hustle down the street like grinding children.


As Lu Tong and her group disembarked from the carriage, they were dazzled by the lively scene before them.


"It's so lively here, it's almost like the Lantern Festival!" exclaimed Duan Xiaoyan.


Lu Tong looked up towards the distance.


As night deepened, the road was illuminated by the glow of colorful lights, and the joyous music from the distant Qiqiao Tower mingled with the crisp laughter of women, creating a path of lights and moonlight. There were also stages with all sorts of performances, tightrope walking, acrobatics, somersaults, and ball kicking... overwhelming the eyes.
