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

Lu Tong arose early in the morning to wash and change, donning a narrow-sleeved cotton skirt the color of lotus root. She sat before the table to comb her hair.


In the wooden box at the corner of the table lay various silk flowers. She had no other jewelry except for the hibiscus flower hairpin from her sister; that was everything she owned.


However, today in the box, there was an additional peony pattern wooden comb.


The wood-carved comb, a prize won from the "Lanye game of skill," was much more delicate than the ones she typically used. It wasn't convenient for combing but was perfectly suitable when inserted amongst her hair.


Lu Tong's gaze fell upon the comb in the box, and after a long while, she reached out and picked it up.


The woman in the mirror, her face unadorned with makeup, looked back at her indecisively.


She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she inserted the comb into her hair bun.
