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

She seemed so familiar with Luomei Peak, knowing every medicinal field well.


Pei Yunmeng lifted his eyelids, "When you were with your master in the past, what kind of person was he?"


"It's you who say too little." He squinted his eyes, his dark pupils harboring a trace of inquiry, "Why do you never talk about yourself?"


Most of the time, he asked, and she would answer. Even then, her replies were vague, stingy with words. The past of Changwu County was mentioned only briefly, and he knew nothing about the Lu Tong from Su Nan.


Even though the Qi Family case had concluded and she no longer bore a great vengeance, Pei Yunmeng could still faintly detect that she seemed to harbor a secret, a deeper one, one she did not wish to be discovered.


She was too cunning, and well-practiced in endurance; no matter how he probed and interrogated, she did not reveal a single flaw.
