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

Mournful sobbing echoed through the Plague Hospital, quickly drowned out by the wind and snow outside the door.


Lu Tong tried to pull her up, but Cuicui suddenly turned her head, glaring at her fiercely.


"Didn't you say," she demanded, her grip on Lu Tong's dress desperate, "that doctors are supposed to save lives?"


"Didn't you say that candles bursting into bloom were a sign of great joy, and that my dad and I would be alright?"


"Why did my dad die?" she screamed, "Why did he die?"


The girl suddenly pushed her, and Lu Tong stumbled back, caught by someone behind her.


Lu Tong looked back to find Pei Yunmeng releasing her, frowning down at her. He must have just rushed over, his saber not at his waist.


Cuicui let go of Lu Tong's dress hem and collapsed to the ground, sobbing painfully.
