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.

Over the years, expensive Spirit Rhinoceros Fragrance was burned daily in the mansion to soothe Qi Yutai's emotions and delay the progression of his illness.

He was impatient, irritable, and sometimes melancholic and unpredictable; Qi Qing suspected this also to be a symptom of his epileptic disorder.


Qi Yutai was also unable to father any children; the concubines arranged by the household yielded no issue. When Qi Qing learned of this, he felt both disappointed and relieved.


What if any child born also had epilepsy?


But without an heir, who would inherit the Qi family's legacy in the future?


He was already too old to have another son.
