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 said, "Lord Pei has been considerate, I have yet to thank you."


Pei Yunmeng heard the detachment in her words, his expression somewhat strange. After a moment of thought, he added, "Staying in the Grand Preceptor's Mansion is still too dangerous. Even if someone watches over you from the shadows, it's not foolproof." He said, "Now with the Qi Family entangled in trouble, why not, after the festival, I help you..."


"Lord Pei," Lu Tong interrupted him, "to avenge someone, one stops only at the grave. If I feared death, I would not have come to Shengjing in the first place."


His brows furrowed. "What if the guards hadn't appeared today, what if he had... to you..."


"No matter the method, I must have my revenge."


Outside the window, the wind and rain whirled, water beat against the eaves, blurring the outside into a misty white fog.
