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

He glanced at Lu Tong, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth, "But it also depends on whether Doctor Lu's colorful ribbon meets your expectations."


The Qiqiao Market was bustling with a never-ending flow of people, and it was said that the lamps stayed lit all night long.


Lu Tong and Pei Yunmeng strolled for quite a while, walking the entire length of the street under Panlou, and finally spotted Pei Yunshu and her group at a vendor's stall.


Freshly plucked banana leaves, soaked in a medicinal mixture on their broad, oil-green surfaces—craftsmen were writing poetry and painting on them, which was very elegant. Pei Yunshu was selecting attentively with her head lowered; Xiao Zhufeng stood behind her, keeping a protective distance. Upon noticing Lu Tong and her companion, Duan Xiaoyan immediately waved, "Brother, Doctor Lu—"


Pei Yunshu turned around, smiling, "Ah Ying, Miss Lu."
