Warning: Some plot points may seriously unsettle you ⚠️
Tomb-Raiding Notes and Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty fanfiction + OOC + two worlds + not a power fantasy + saving Pan Zi, Yuncai, and Xia Zai + Southern Archives + Sui Sui becomes a ghost + no CP + atypical transmigration (multiple times) + coming-of-age
The clan leader and his trusted follower + Xuansui's friendship between lord and subject + salted shrimp's familial love and friendship
The heroine knows the plot of the original Tomb-Raiding Notes, but not Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty. The Strange Tales plot doesn't follow the main storyline and is set 180 years earlier; the story mainly follows the Tomb-Raiding Notes storyline.
Timeline: Original story, from the Holy Infant Incident to the Southern Archives / before Strange Tales; Sand Sea / Strange Tales
The heroine is genuinely mentally ill, emotionally unstable, and acts on a whim.
Perhaps people live their whole lives just waiting for a certain moment: to become the sacrifice in a story, or the person who offers up the sacrifice.

“Clan Leader, if you and Haixia already had a plan, why did you still make Wu Xie and me go through it?”
“Oh, did you think our Zhang clan would do things in a way you could understand?”
“Oh dear! Sorry, my little sister is a bit self-conscious about her looks. Your skin looks pretty good, so I'll borrow it.”
“Xia Zai, since things have come to this, you should die first.”
“This fire-coat sutra is a little... sticky, but all you have to do is let this slug crawl around your spine.”
“What a cute high schooler. Lou Gui, do you want a nephew?”
“My lord would be the mightiest ghost of all, even after becoming one.”
