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

Behind her, Ji Xun's voice erupted in alarm.


Lu Tong's heart tightened. In a critical moment, suddenly another harsh silver gleam appeared; the knife's tip was deflected by an inch. Right afterward, Lu Tong felt herself being pulled, followed by a "bang" as the Silver Knife cut down—another blade glinting forward, a cold flash passed by, and the person on the ground let out a slight cry of pain as the dagger, along with half of their wrist, fell to the ground.


The vivid crimson blood immediately sprayed across the white snow. The people inside, upon hearing the disturbance outside, came out to investigate.


The person on the ground was still struggling while a sharp Silver Knife was pressed against their throat.


Pei Yunmeng protected her in his arms, staring coldly at the person on the ground with a murderous look in his eyes.
