Doctor of Tomb Shadows: The Thousand-Year Mystery Manhunt

In an era of constant disputes in the archaeological world, Zhang Daoling uses his doctorate and his family's inherited tomb-raiding skills to navigate the gray area between archaeology and grave robbing. By day, he's a renowned PhD in archaeology. In secret, he abuses his position to pocket priceless artifacts.

By chance, he discovers a shocking secret in an ancient book: his family is related by blood to the royal house of the Shang dynasty. This secret leads to a string of eerie ancient tombs. To uncover the truth, he embarks on a tomb-hunting journey across China.

Along the way, he meets A Li, a mechanism-making genius who also has her own agenda. The two become partners while secretly competing against each other, each with their own hidden motives.
