In a noisy urban night market, the life of Lin Guiyuan, a down-and-out antique stall owner, was completely disrupted by a "broken bronze mirror." This ancient mirror engraved with the "Princess Mirror" not only brought death threats from the mysterious buyer, but also evoked the shadow of the past that lingered around him - the major accident that led to the end of his archaeological career and the mysterious disappearance of his teammates. Forced into a dangerous tomb robbing operation, he accidentally met Shen Nanzhi, a judicial police officer in charge of important cultural relics cases, a calm-as-ice girl. When she pursued the case, her target was actually her father who had been missing for many years.
Two people who had nothing to do with each other became connected through a mirror, and were forced to join forces and step into the abyss of the Warring States Tomb. Waiting for them are death traps densely packed with mechanisms, the betrayal of teammates with unpredictable intentions, and the resentful zombie king who has been sleeping for thousands of years - the wronged princess who was buried alive because she refused to be buried with her. Her curse will devour every intruder. Lin Guiyuan relied on his family's secrets of Feng Shui and his profound knowledge from the Department of Archeology to survive in many dangerous situations, while Shen Nanzhi relied on the keen insight and extraordinary skills of the bailiff to break the situation and open the way. With in-depth exploration, the princess's ancient grievances gradually surfaced, and the truth of the archaeological accident that had been sealed for twenty years was strangely closely connected to this ancient tomb. They must go through many dangerous situations, from the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty where illusions are hidden, to the royal tombs of the Ming Dynasty where curses are rampant, to the sunken ships on the seabed patrolled by sinister soldiers, to the ancient desert city full of ghosts, to piece together the fragments of history step by step.
