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

After several spells of autumn rain, once September arrived, Shengjing was through with the Cold Dew.


The maple leaves at Wan'en Temple turned a vast expanse of red, and at Danfeng Pavilion, visitors were constant. From there, one could behold the great swaths of crimson maples, like blood.


Chrysanthemums bloomed overnight at Grand Preceptor's Mansion.


Servants picked fresh chrysanthemums to brew wine and tea, and to make chrysanthemum cakes, their fragrance wafting through the air.


When Lu Tong walked into Qi Yutai's room, Qi Yutai had just smashed a pot of chrysanthemum tea.


The golden petals, boiled in hot water, lost their beauty as they fell to the ground, crushed and dirty like trodden filth, sticking to the carpet.


Lu Tong lifted her foot, stepping over the mess on the floor.


Qi Yutai was furious, but upon seeing her, his expression instantly turned to one of wild joy, and he hurried over in just a few steps, "You're here! Where is it?"
