Lan Jingshu is an ordinary overworked office worker, born with a streak of bad luck but always managing to survive against the odds. He's developed a laid-back, take-it-as-it-comes kind of optimism. After dying from overwork, he transmigrates into The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, becoming an unnamed orphan at the foot of the Seven Star Lu Palace. His unusual constitution remains intact: those with a little malice toward him suffer minor bad luck, while those with strong malice or murderous intent face deadly repercussions. His own misfortunes are limited to trivial annoyances, while good luck always comes when his life is on the line.
He accidentally runs into the Iron Triangle. Pan Zi's suspicion and Pangzi's schemes both trigger his bad-luck powers, and he begins a tomb-raiding journey alongside the trio. At the Seven Star Lu Palace, he slays King Lu Shang's zombie and foils the schemes of the Green-Eyed Fox Corpse. At the underwater tomb in Xisha, he uncovers the mystery of Third Uncle's identity and counters Qiu Dekao's forces. In the Qinling Divine Tree, he encounters Lao Yang and drives off the copies and chi gu. At the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, he faces King Wan Nu's Nine Dragons Carrying a Coffin and deals a heavy blow to Chen Pi A Si. In the Snake Marsh Ghost City, he searches for Chen Wenjin, thwarts the Wang family's ambush, and witnesses the secret of the Queen Mother of the West's jade meteorite. At the Yinshan Ancient Tower, he explores an underwater village and uncovers the truth about the descendants of a collateral branch of the Zhang family. In the final battle at the Zhang Family Ancient Tower, his constitution reaches its peak. He wipes out the Wang family's main forces, awakens the Zhang family's powers of protection, and successfully rescues the amnesiac Little Brother.
From a “spy” everyone suspected to “Immortal Lan,” whom Pangzi worships, a life-and-death brother to Wu Xie, and the unseen shield Little Brother silently protects, Lan Jingshu's bad luck ultimately becomes armor for his friends. After the battle, he refuses to weaken his constitution and settles down in Yucun with the Iron Triangle. His daily streak of bad luck, from stepping into mud puddles to losing things, contrasts with his reliability in protecting those he loves and facing danger. The warmth of everyday life and the passion of tomb-raiding adventures intertwine into a long, vivid tale.
