Shen Qingci transmigrated into this world with the innate ability to guide the dead onward and soothe restless spirits. She can see every soul in a tomb, and a single touch lets her sense the obsessions and pain the deceased felt in life. In her previous life, she knew the complete plot of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles. She saw through the selfishness of the Old Nine Gates and the merciless persecution Zhang Qishan and the others inflicted on Zhang Qiling, and felt deep sympathy and compassion for the last clan leader of the Zhang family.
Cool and aloof, meticulous, and deeply empathetic, she is exceptionally gentle and devoted only to Zhang Qiling. She shares a mutual understanding with Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi, and considers them close friends. Her feelings toward Wu Xie are complicated: she resents the endless harm caused by the selfishness and curiosity behind his innocence, yet cannot entirely deny the good in his heart. She goes from loathing Wang Pangzi to grudgingly accepting him as a casual acquaintance. She hates the Old Nine Gates, especially Zhang Qishan, with every fiber of her being and would love to grind his bones to dust. She vows to protect Zhang Qiling and never let the Old Nine Gates drag him into their schemes again.
