The world is already dead, but ninety-nine percent of its people still don't know it.
The greatest deception in history, mysterious tomb guardians, and a few inscriptions carved into ox bones and passed down through the ages.
Fang Yan, an amateur tomb raider, gets caught up in a thousand-year-old forbidden secret. Tomb raiding is only the bait; the real struggle is over the human heart.
What lies hidden in the suspected tomb deep in the Qinling Mountains? Whose head is housed in the Seven-Star Corpse Pavilion at the bottom of a vast underground cavern? What connects the ghostly caves, the eerie towers, the golden splendor, the jade-born resentment, and the creatures never seen before...?
The most terrifying thing in the world has never been ghosts or monsters.
It's your heart, which seems strong but is fragile underneath.
