Synopsis

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.

    This is an incredible read like a breath of fresh air. Short and intriguing. A pure revenge story yet more than that - a daughter’s yearning for her family, her thirst for revenge, finding love and new friends and family whilst walking on this lonely journey of revenge. It brings out the ugliness of the power play, desperation of a family against the high and mighty. Schemes and plot are so well written. Its amazing how a single woman with no background manages to scheme so well to exact her revenge. No troupes, keeps the reader engaged throughout the book. a realistic read with no rebirth, golden finger or super powers. Kudos and thanks to the writer and team for bringing this masterpiece to the reader’s.

    I wish the story doesn't end here. It's one of the stories that had captivated me in Webnovel that when I realized it was over, I was shocked and quite heartbroken. I'm looking forward to reading other stories from you, author!

    This book came as a very pleasant surprise, just came across in the 24 hours free reading. A very well written story, with one of the strongest female lead I have ever read. Fueled by only determination and wisdom, a lowly commoner topled the elites of the kingdom. No knowledge from rebirth, no golden finger just pure desire to seek for revenge. She seems heartless but just the way I like it😂 She doesn’t let anything or anyone distract her from her goals not even the handsome ML. The story is very well paced, no stretching of plot the evil gets their retribution so straight forwardly. I also love that the romance part is not the overly used “love at first sight cliche” instead it evolves naturally as the story develops. This story will keep you reading till the end. It has all the plot that makes a great read; revenge, romance, family love, friendship and loyalty. A few scenes that will tug your heartstrings due to heartbreak as well as just enough dashes of humor and suspense plus a handful of hateful villains. You know a story is good when you consider 700+ chapters are still too short. I truly love this story. Don’t let the minor translation errors deter you from reading, this book is very much worth reading.
