Things That Happened Between The Mystic Nine and The Grave Robbers' Chronicles

[Tentatively no CP, ship whoever you like. The logic may be a little muddled, and there won’t be much from the original works. The heroine doesn’t know the source material; the plot follows her life. The author will do their best to keep the characters in character.]

The Shen clan’s bodies heal much faster than those of ordinary people, and healing makes them look younger. Thus the Shen clan acquired a secret art for transferring illness into their own bodies to slow their aging.

Shen Yao enters the world of tomb raiding by accident, then gets caught up in the Nine Gates after uncovering the secret of the Shen family.

She has no great ambitions and just wants to live a good life. Seeing with her own eyes how her father died only makes her more determined to change the problem with her bloodline.

She ignores her father’s advice to go abroad and instead seeks out the fortune-teller. Following the fortune-teller’s prediction, she opens a pharmacy in Changsha.

Then she meets a group of very strange people.

As a doctor, she has only treated two people, and both treatments were for the same person.

Chen Pi’s payment for treating Ya Tou is to serve as her attendant for a year and help her find someone.

Chen Pi is also the payment for treating Xie Jiu: she wants Xie Jiu to find Chen Pi a way out amid the turmoil of the Nine Gates.

The heroine isn’t a self-sacrificing saint and isn’t scheming. Her golden finger is that she can heal people; she can’t raid tombs.
