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

The cliff was bare, and Lu Tong stared at the withered stick in her hand.


The red wooden vines on the cliff had all withered.


This plant was cold-resistant and could survive in extreme cold areas. Its leaves were highly toxic. In the past, she had picked them for Lady Yun during winter days on Luomei Peak, which was also in the midst of a cold winter.


Actually, before she went up the mountain, although she was not absolutely certain, she felt there was a sixty to seventy percent chance of success. She had not expected that within just a short two years of leaving, the vines that she thought would always be lush could also wither, realizing that nothing in the world lasts forever.


Pei Yunmeng took the withered twig from her hand, and gazed at it intently.


"The red wooden vines have withered," she turned around, "We've come here for nothing."


Pei Yunmeng caught the disappointment in her tone.
