Tomb Raiding: It Begins at a Coffin Tomb in a Desolate Village

There is a saying among the people: The world's dragon veins are divided into yin and yang. The yang veins bury kings and nobles, while the yin veins conceal ghosts and gods.

Chu Sheng was born with a yin vein that locks his soul and a deadly curse. He is not expected to live past thirty, and his family has spent generations searching for dragons along the yin veins.

He belongs to none of the four orthodox tomb-raiding schools. Instead, he explores sinister yin tombs and treacherous, forbidden burial grounds that no one else dares approach.

A damaged ancestral genealogy and a family massacre shrouded in secrecy force him into the netherworld's veins, where every step could cost him his life.

A thousand-year-old corpse kingdom beneath Kunlun's frozen earth, a shamanic coffin in Bashu's miasma-filled forests, a ghostly ruin and dragon city in the Western Regions' sea of sand, an ancient sacrificial altar on the northern steppe's snowy plains...

Armed with his family's secret dragon-finding techniques and unique tools for suppressing yin forces, he walks the boundary between yin and yang, disarming mechanisms, subduing evil spirits, and solving thousand-year-old mysteries.

As he seeks to break the curse that threatens his life, he investigates the secrets of the yin veins that stretch back a thousand years, uncovering the countless strange phenomena and truths buried beneath China's ley lines and erased by history.
