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 said, "What's the matter, you are bold enough to kill, but why do you become timid when I reveal my feelings to you? Could it be because..."


"...you feel guilty and have a bit of liking for me in your heart?"


Pei Yunmeng stared intently at her, those dark, bright eyes under the lamplight were dazzling and magnificent, refusing to miss any of her expressions.


It was as if on a cold, dark rainy night, someone appeared with a lantern, took your hand, draped a dry and warm cloak over you, and then handed you a cup of warm honey water.


Apparently indifferent, yet always able to warm the lonelier souls.


She liked this warmth, coveted it, but could not indulge herself to draw near; she had to restrain herself, to stay away.


Her fingertips dug deeper, yet she lifted her head and said indifferently, "I don't like you."
