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

Lu Tong and Pei Yunmeng's marriage arrangement was progressing smoothly.


In Da Liang, marriages followed the "Six Etiquettes": nacai (engagement), wenming (inquiry about the name), naji (auspicious date selection), nazheng (betrothal gifts), qingqi (wedding date selection), and yingqin (welcoming the bride).


Since both Lu Tong's and Pei Yunmeng's parents had passed away, Pei Yunshu took charge. She hired a matchmaker who exchanged the betrothal letters. Blind Man He from West Street was also asked to match their birth charts. He proclaimed them a match made in heaven. Thus, they began deliberating the marriage and chose an auspicious day.


During those days, Pei Yunshu and Pei Yunmeng were both busy drafting the dowry list.


Qingfeng happened to glance over the dowry list once and couldn't help but be astonished. Although their household was wealthy, she had never seen such a generous dowry. Was there any difference between this and handing over the entire Pei Mansion as a gift?
