Jiang Nanfang, a senior student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the precarious late Qing Dynasty.
He originally wanted to survive in troubled times, but because of an ancestral jade pendant that guards the mausoleum, he was involved in the shocking secret of the Qing Dong Tomb.
When modern archaeological knowledge meets the secrets of ancient institutions, and when scientific rationality meets feudal superstition, he must not only protect the thousand-year-old treasures of the imperial mausoleum, but also find a way out for himself and those around him in troubled times surrounded by foreign powers and internal and external troubles.
This is a story about a modern man who used knowledge to rewrite his destiny in the imperial mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty.
