Synopsis

[Female protagonist, no romance + transmigrates twice + no System + slow burn + supernatural]

As it turns out, a person can keep having bad luck forever.

Guang Li has transmigrated again and again!

Last time, she ended up more than 2,000 years in the past. Hahaha, she’s going crazy.

Luckily, she became a fangshi and gained the ability to protect herself, so she could just barely survive in the world of Records of Strange Affairs at the People’s Investigation Bureau.

After finally making it from the Zhou Dynasty to the founding of New China, she could at last live a somewhat normal life.

But why did she have to go and take a job, setting off for the boundless underworld, only to run into a space rift and transmigrate again?

Well, she transmigrated again, but at least it was the early Qing Dynasty, which was better than the Zhou Dynasty.

Still, something’s not right about this new life.

A family of tomb raiders, surnamed Zhang, with every clan leader named Zhang Qiling…

That sounds familiar.

But they’re tomb robbers!!

Good heavens, is the Great Fangshi going to issue a kill order against me across worlds?

A fangshi reincarnated as a tomb robber: how is that any different from a police officer becoming a thief?

But now that I’m here, I can’t exactly kill myself and reincarnate all over again.

Anyway, the supernatural is only just emerging in this world, and no one can threaten her. She can amuse herself by teasing some kids and looking for a bit of fun, treating it like retirement.

As for the Wang Family and the Nine Gates, if they leave her alone, she won’t interfere either.

It’s just that the world’s will keeps trying to kill the horse after it’s done its work. It’s really annoying.

Content warning: no redemption arcs. Includes some elements from Records of Strange Affairs at the People’s Investigation Bureau.

The plot is not very friendly to the Nine Gates. Includes a small amount of one-sided affection and original worldbuilding.

The author is a total beginner, writing purely out of love. Please be kind in the comments. Thank you.

Any Lone-Wolf Stories? Female-Oriented, No Romance

The female protagonist is completely alone, with no family and no partner. She can get along with other people, but has no teammates and always moves forward alone. Any genre is fine, such as survival, infinite-flow, or apocalypse stories, like that one about the split personality.

Looking for Tomb-Raiding Novels with No Romance: An Extremely Powerful Female Lead, No Shipping the Leads, and No Simpering

I just don't want characters fawning over the protagonist, or constantly thinking weird things like, “How sweet, those two are a couple.” And no characters who just take hits to stay alive, either. I've searched for ages, and most books are pretty much the same.

Looking for Tomb-Raiding Stories, with the Lead Treating Ordinary Rice Fans as Passersby, Not Fawning Over Them

I've read a lot of tomb-raiding novels, including the popular ones. It feels like plenty of stories have fans or random outsiders transmigrating into tomb-raiding worlds, but not many are actually good. Are there any that feel more realistic and interesting? Some protagonists don't seem to have much of a sense of self or their own ideas.

Author, the female lead has a period of weakness where she can't use magic 🥺🥺🥺🥺. Could you arrange for her to train her body to increase her physical attack? 💕💕💕💕💕 That way, even during her weakened period, she can still rely on her sword and fists 👊. Otherwise, it makes the readers quite worried 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

The Bureau of Investigation setting is very interesting. There are no Bureau of Investigation fanfics on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform) ❤️❤️ Author, please keep up the good work and don't leave it unfinished!!!

Well, I haven't seen any polls or anything. The author did have some notes, but I was still a bit confused. I just feel so sorry for Guangli 😣. The main character is very well-developed, exactly the kind of recluse I imagined. I'm really looking forward to seeing how things develop after he enters the main story.

Wow! It's so good! It has a special feel to it! It's that cool, detached feeling—like tea, bitter with a sweet aftertaste. The protagonist's personality is really great—not at all saintly! Unlike some random stories where the author saves the characters in the book…and there's no deliberate attempt by the characters to torment the protagonist…

Those who achieve immortality are often somewhat ruthless, but they are far better than Wu Rendi and Wu Mian. Given Wu Mian's infuriatingly sarcastic manner, even if he had taken the elixir of immortality during the Qin Dynasty, he wouldn't have lived more than a year; he would have been killed sooner or later.

It's alright. I've read over 70 chapters. Aside from some parts that were boring because I hadn't read *Strange Tales*, there were some exciting parts and some fresh plot developments. The female lead is an observer, but seems to possess a worldly compassion.

The writing is excellent, with clear paragraphs. It's immersive, and everyone is very intelligent. 😄 I haven't seen such clever writing in a long time! 😄😄😄

I hope you have time to update. Wishing you good health and all the best. From the moment you started updating, I've seen how well your book fits the characters. It's also the first time I've seen a novel where other authors sometimes weaken the protagonist. I've been following your work since you started updating. Remember to rest well, keep it up, author! The holidays are coming soon, so I wish you a happy holiday and all the best!

This is very well written! I especially enjoy reading tomb raiding and fantasy/supernatural novels. I've read most of them, including *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*, *The Mystic Nine*, *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, *The Bureau of Paranormal Investigation*, *The Grave Robbers' Handbook*, *The Dragon Seeker*, and the sequel to *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* by Xie Ling, and I really enjoyed them.
