The Mystery of My Background Blinded Me

In 1929, a Northwest archaeological team discovered murals at the Western Xia Imperial Tombs in the Helan Mountains. They recorded that the "Eye of Blackwater City" could unlock the key to immortality. Team leader Shen Wei mysteriously vanished after leaving behind a bronze key and a fragmentary scroll. Fifty years later, antique restorer Chen Mo found the key among his grandfather's belongings. Together with the mysterious Su Qing and Lao Dao, a veteran, he formed an expedition team to pursue the mystery his grandfather had failed to solve.

As they ventured deeper into the Western Xia tomb complex, they faced quicksand traps, bronze mechanisms, the vengeful spirits of the Tanguts, and other dangers. They also discovered that members of the archaeology team from the Republic of China era had somehow "survived" inside the tombs. In the end, they uncovered the truth: the Western Xia imperial clan had preserved its bloodline through "blood-sacrifice reincarnation," and Shen Wei's disappearance was closely tied to a conspiracy spanning time and space.
