Wuxia Crossover: A Single Brush, Cultivating the Body Through Calligraphy and Curing Lung Disease!

A lame scholar makes a living writing letters and restoring books, then stumbles upon a murder and a ledger of illegal salt sales, drawing the attention of three factions.

An assassin from the Jiaofang Office dies from poison after leaving behind only half a blood-written message. A porter casually mentions He Hai, but when Lu Tianming finds him, He Hai grips a short dagger and claims that he himself is the real killer of Zhang Ping. The moment the ledger falls into Lu Tianming's hands, he realizes that the silver passing through it far exceeds what a county magistrate could possibly swallow. The forces behind it run so deep that they send a chill down his spine.

But Lu Tianming has no time to worry about that right now. He only needs to write a few more letters for others before his Way of the Written Word reaches its second stage. If his lung disease improves a little more, he might even be able to straighten the leg that's been lame for fifteen years. So by day he continues pushing his broken cart through the streets, writing letters home for people, and by night he drags his uneven steps along the desolate roads outside town.

Meanwhile, Feng Erniang has opened a bun shop in town, Qi Baichun has come in person to talk about Liu Dabao's whereabouts, and that raven has brought another unsigned letter. More and more people are watching the courtyard gate at the far end of Lihua Lane, and the ledger in Lu Tianming's arms is waiting for him to make a decision.
