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

The person in bed heard the noise and abruptly turned her head. Seeing him, a flicker of life sparked in her reddened eyes as she called out, "My lord——"


Her call snapped Qi Qing back to reality.


He hastened forward, taking the hand of the woman on the couch, whose delicate and infinitely pitiable face no longer held its former beauty, now sallow and thin.


She called out again, her voice filled with despair.


"I'm here," he said upon hearing her voice.


Shu Hui—his second wife, gasping for breath, looked at him: "I, I'm afraid it's the end for me. If I don't survive the night, you must, you must raise Yu Tai well."


"That won't happen," he replied soothingly, wiping away the beads of sweat on his wife's forehead, "The child will be born soon and both mother and daughter will be safe."


As soon as he spoke, Qi Qing himself was startled.


The child hadn't yet been born; how did he know it would be a daughter?
