The Grave Robbers' Chronicles of Fourth Uncle

Wu Nian / Fourth Uncle: The male lead, 25, a modern chemistry lab technician who transmigrates. Bound to the Archaeologist System, he specializes in toxicology and chemistry and carries a modern knowledge base with him. His greatest wish is to make it home alive.

System: His golden finger can identify artifacts, warn of danger, and issue missions, but it often goes offline or malfunctions. It provides the snarky commentary.

Wu Xie: His nephew and the protagonist of the original story. He both respects and suspects this young Fourth Uncle, but gradually forms a deep bond with him.

Zhang Qiling: The taciturn Bottle Guy, who notices everything and is intrigued by Wu Nian’s apparent ability to know things in advance.

Wang Pangzi: The life of the party and a source of memorable one-liners. He and Wu Nian form the “two modern guys who gripe about everything” duo.

Wu Sansheng: Third Uncle, a shrewd and calculating man who secretly watches this younger brother who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Xie Yuchen: Head of the Xie family and an important ally later on. He and Wu Nian share an unspoken understanding as people who are both sharp-minded.

Xiaomange: The Dog King and the original story’s “Fourth Uncle.” He and Wu Nian act out an elaborate “battle for the dog’s affection.”
