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

Red boats vied for victory, aiming for the golden ball, but Pei Yunmeng didn't choose from the array of beaming flowers on the gold plate, instead, she casually picked a wildflower from the herbage of the sheltered ground, an action that surprised everyone.


However, although it was surprising, it was not unreasonable.


After all, in today's competition for the red boats, she wasn't among the racing soldiers.


Having obtained the wildflower, Pei Yunmeng retreated to the upper floor of the pavilion, and the minor commotion of the race quickly passed, with the golden ball being hung up again, and the rest of the red boats resumed their competition.


But with the excellence of what had just happened before, this current contest seemed to lack some excitement and didn't stir the blood as it did earlier.


On the flower boat, the Music Officers performed water plays and dances, and amidst the lively singing, Lu Tong sat with lowered brows, slightly zoning out for a moment.
