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

"Everyone is very grateful to Little Lord Pei," Cuicui whispered into Lu Tong's ear, "Every time he comes to the Plague Hospital, he brings us good things, and when he talks to people, he doesn't disdain us like those high-ranking officials from Shengjing did before." Cuicui smiled shyly, "My dad told me that when I look for a husband in the future, I should find someone handsome, good-natured, and capable like Little Lord Pei."


Lu Tong couldn't help but be amused by her.


"What good things did he bring you today?" Lu Tong asked.


"Today is a big snow day," Cuicui said, her eyes wide, "In the past, during heavy snow, people needed to take tonics. Every household would cure meats. But this year, with the epidemic in Su Nan, things are not the same. I heard Brother Duan say that Little Lord Pei brought dried meat and had someone cook us meat soup today, to celebrate the New Year in our own way."


The little girl said this and swallowed, her eyes showing a hint of longing.
