[The male lead is my own interpretation, severely OOC and very different from the original plot. If you don't like it, please don't read.]
The murals in the Snake Marsh Ghost City conceal the secret words of Taotie. The bones on the Great Wilderness altar have congealed into a thousand years of resentful evil, while the primal chaos behind the Bronze Gate stirs with the approaching full moon. Mo Jinyuan was born with a rampaging Taotie bloodline. He thought it was a curse, until the moment he entered an ancient tomb and his blood mysteriously resonated with the Zhang family's young master and his Qilin blood. Is this pact, forged a thousand years ago, a shackle meant to protect, or a harbinger of destruction?
From the Bone-Devouring Cauldron in the Snake Marsh to evil creatures transformed by baleful energy in western Hunan, from the treacherous rainforest paths of southern Xinjiang to the Bronze Realm of Changbai Mountain, every ancient tomb speaks of the maxim “balance endures,” yet each is riddled with twists. The moment the power of the pact awakens, Mo Jinyuan suddenly realizes that he may not be the savior meant to protect chaos, but the final piece in the puzzle of Shi Gu Zun's return. Was this tomb-raiding journey across life and death a carefully planned deception from the very beginning?
