Modern office worker Chen Mo transmigrates into the world of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles after an accident (a fall from a building, a car crash, or a mysterious bronze bell), becoming a young “Wang Pangzi” at around twenty, before he has acquired the rough edges he shows prior to the Seven-Star Lu Palace. Fragments of the original host's memories mingle with his modern way of thinking. He retains Wang Pangzi's defining traits of “greed, a sharp tongue, and loyalty,” while gaining the advantage of knowing the original plot in advance: the secret of the Bronze Gate, the truth about the Zhang Family's ancient tower, and even Wu Xie's future fate.
The story follows “Wang Pangzi the transmigrator” and his bond with the Iron Triangle. From the Seven-Star Lu Palace to the Snake Marsh Ghost City, from beneath the waters of Xisha to the Bronze Gate on Changbai Mountain, they retrace the original adventures while uncovering the conspiracy behind his transmigration: Why did he become Wang Pangzi? Are other “transmigrators” or “timeline correctors” interfering with the plot? Beyond the Zhang Family, the Wang Family, and the Old Nine Gates, is there a “fourth faction” controlling everything?
