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 also knelt and bowed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Emperor Liang Ming ensconced high in the hall from a distance.


This was the first time Lu Tong had clearly seen the legendary Emperor's holy countenance.


Emperor Liang Ming appeared very young.


Just over forty, he was dressed in a bright yellow robe embroidered with colorful clouds and golden dragon patterns, his head crowned with a golden diadem from which strands of pearls hung, partially obscuring his imperial demeanor yet not diminishing his majestic aura in the least. His complexion was somewhat pale, lending the whole figure a tinge of melancholy.


Emperor Liang Ming raised his hand for everyone to dispense with the formalities and took his seat on the high platform. To his left and right were, respectively, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and following behind were the Third Prince, the Second Prince, the Fourth Imperial Prince, and several princesses.
