As the top student in his grade at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, Lin Zhenglan thought his life would go smoothly and steadily.
But life had other plans. One day, his grandfather suddenly told him that he had another identity: a future government employee, a tomb guardian, known in the underworld as a tomb keeper.
Well, that meant that on top of his high school routine, from six in the morning until ten at night, he also had to squeeze in underground maintenance work and play tomb raider. At least things underground were usually quiet...
Yeah, right!
Why does a woman in red corpse comb her hair in the middle of the night?
Where are the eerie sounds coming from inside the water coffin?
Why is a hanged ghost bride suspended from a curtain in the woods?
How did animated paper figures sneak into human society?
Why are war drums beating from a thousand-year-old tomb?
Are these events simply the workings of nature, or is someone behind them, setting a trap?
After solving one case after another, Lin Zhenglan was shocked to discover that it all pointed to... his grandfather?
Once the mysteries of space have been unraveled and the shackles of time broken, what will remain: blood driven by unyielding resolve, or the tears of the one he loves?
Lin Zhenglan can’t explain any of it. He only believes that people make their own fate. No matter how rough the road ahead, he can cut through stone and split the waves, protect the peace of the human world, and guard it for all eternity.
