In the war-torn early years of the Republic of China, three souls burdened with fate gathered together because of a mysterious "dragon marrow jade": Chen Xuan, who was proficient in Feng Shui institutions and carried family secrets; Qi Yunshan, a skilled bodyguard with a broken family; and Su Wenjin, a talented girl who had returned from studying abroad and was proficient in ancient cultural relics. The three of them went deep into the dangerous ancient tombs, from the General's Tomb in Western Henan to Heishui City in Western Xia, and then to the treacherous Tomb of the Chieftain King in Western Hunan, just to pursue the mystery of Yu Jue.
However, dragon marrow jade is not the key to immortality, but the core of the seal that suppresses ancient evil spirits! The warlord Adjutant Luo, the greedy foreigner Isabella, and the mysterious tomb keeper were involved one after another, and multiple forces started a fierce battle for the collapsed royal tomb. In order to protect the world, Chen Xuan did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to activate the secret method and sink the jade into the abyss forever; Qi Yunshan took his enemies on the road to redemption; Su Wenjin was seriously injured and fled to the Miao village with the key "Star Map" rubbings.
Before the smoke has cleared, the white-haired antique shop owner, the southbound wanderer, and the Miao village scholar - three people are scattered around the world, guarding their own secrets and pain. However, the "Star Map" reappears, and a new storm is brewing in the dark. Will the dragon marrow jade that was sunk into the abyss really return to eternal silence? The troubled times are not over, but their legends and fates are still going on... Can the lone swordsman and the Miao village scholar keep the secrets and peace they bought with blood before the abyss is unlocked and the war breaks out again? The Republic of China is a treacherous place. Under the dark river, the star map points to unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.
