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

Having determined the treatment plan, Lu Tong once again fell into a deep sleep. Lin Danqing looked toward Pei Yunmeng to the side, "Marshal Pei, please step aside."


Pei Yunmeng did not move, his gaze lowered toward the person on the bed.


These past days, he had stayed by Lu Tong's side without leaving.


Medical Officers who treat patients often see life and death partings; people of affection find it hard to stay together. Parting in life brings regret, and death's separation bears sorrow. She had read so many tales, with good endings and bad, all but a few brief sentences. Yet now, here in this dim silence, watching the solitary figure's silent back, she also felt sad.


She did not know what the young Commander was thinking at this moment, but his lowered brows and eyes, the gaze fixed on the person in bed was so intensely calm, like a beloved object slowly drifting away from oneself, bewildered and powerless, frail unlike any other day.
