Zhuang Xujian, heir to a feng shui lineage, carries an ancient scroll bearing the ancestral Yin Vein Dragon Script and is caught up in a thousand-year-old tomb mystery linked to his father's generation, who vanished without a trace. Li Ye, an expert in ancient seal script and mechanisms, and a scholar of remote history, is drawn into the mystery by chance. Together, they brave Kunlun's desolate tombs and explore a mysterious palace beneath the sea, battle corpse fiends and sinister curses, and contend with the undercurrents of the tomb-raiding world. Layer by layer, they expose the emperor's fraud of eternal life and uncover the ultimate secret buried for millennia in the dragon veins of China.
