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 woman stopped in front of the thicket.


Lu Tong looked over and immediately felt chills down his spine.


In the heart of the dense vegetation loomed rows upon rows of dark earthen mounds. Lu Tong hadn't made them out at first, but upon a clearer look, she couldn't help but feel a tingling on her scalp.


Buried rather carelessly and shoddily, yet during the great epidemic in Changwu County, numerous such haphazardly made graves could be found on the edges of fields; she had seen too many of them.


"These are your sixteen elder brothers and sisters," Lady Yun explained with a smile.


"They were all about your age," the woman said softly, "and also spent time with me on Luomei Peak, it's just that they were too frail and had too few days with me."


"Little Shiqi," Lady Yun said, "you should stick with me a bit longer."
