The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: The Search for Immortality

Above, the White Jade Capital, with twelve towers and five cities. An immortal touches my head, and I tie my hair to receive eternal life. “Eternal life has been a wish throughout the ages, but no one has truly achieved it, from ancient times to the present.” Zhao Zhao, an ordinary archaeology graduate, gradually finds himself drawn into tomb raiding after the old master entrusts him with the “Jade Capital” on his deathbed. Through tomb raiding, he slowly unravels the mysteries of history. In the Tang tales, the miraculous ascension to immortality and romance everyone envies, “Pei Hang Becomes an Immortal,” is actually a tragic story. King Zhou of Shang, who burned himself to death at Lutai, did so for the so-called guardian beast of his kingdom, only to see his nation destroyed and his family perish. What struggles did the Yuan imperial preceptor Basiba undertake to prolong the Yuan Empire? What was the relationship between Qin Shi Huang and Widow Qing? Did Xu Fu return with the elixir of immortality? What became of the Way of Great Peace? ... It was all for the sake of eternal life.
