Wu Lü, a modern college student, dies suddenly and finds himself inside The Grave Robbers' Chronicles as Wu Xie's half-brother, missing for twelve years. He binds himself to the “Desperate Situation Quip System” and stays alive by cracking jokes at the most dangerous moments.
Wu Xie, a devoted brother, takes him in, and he settles into Wushan House, where he meets Zhang Qiling and Wang Pangzi. During their first tomb raid, his jokes about venomous insects catch Hei Xiazi's attention. He joins the group as they venture into the Lu Palace, the underwater tomb in Xisha, and the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds. Quips like “corpse beetles are basically crayfish cousins” and “the forbidden woman needs Head & Shoulders” help him escape danger. He also becomes an avid shipper of “Ping-Xie” and “Black Flower,” watching their interactions with glee.
Later, he uncovers the truth about his origins: he was a discarded sample from the Wang family's “human mental energy” experiments, and the System is a receiver implanted in his body. In the final showdown at the Wang family's laboratory, the System fails. To protect his loved ones, Wu Lü delivers one last devastating quip, summoning virtual on-screen comments that cripple the AI and help the team win.
