The star chart is the tomb passage, and the solar terms are its keys.
When an ice corpse from the 1980s beneath the Kunlun Glacier clutches the Chu clan crest, and a Western Zhou bronze talisman auctioned at the ghost market sparks a riot of the living dead, Chu Xinghen, a descendant of the Ninth Sect, is forced into a tomb-raiding maze spanning time and space. Ten stellar tombs conceal a deadly array of the twenty-eight celestial officers, which can only be opened with a Starfall Bronze Talisman during a specific solar term. Meanwhile, an overseas group has already torn open the gate to the Greedy Wolf Tomb as part of its "Mending Heaven Project."
The image of her grandfather's betrayal inside the glacier tomb, a breathing bronze diving bell in the South Sea's Guixu, and twenty-eight floating star coffins in the Heavenly Palace atop the clouds... Each tomb overturns everything she thought she knew. When Chu Xinghen discovers that the head of the Mending Heaven Group shares her bloodline, and the tenth star tomb reverses the Earth's magnetic field, she finally understands that this tomb-raiding expedition was always a causal loop arranged by the Jade Balance of the Celestial Pivot: the archaeological team from twenty years ago was none other than their future selves.
