[No CP + strong heroine + double undercover agent + plot-driven + slight harem vibes + character growth]
After special forces officer Wang Yan died in action, she was reborn as a baby in a collateral branch of the Wang family.
She had been a soldier in her previous life and hated tomb raiders more than anything. But of all things, she was now a member of the Wang family and had been assigned to infiltrate the Nine Gates.
Wang Yan: Thanks for asking. I just transmigrated into a book, and I'm considering taking out this whole gang of tomb raiders.
She promptly defected to the authorities. What? The “plot” was protecting them, so they couldn't be arrested yet? Fine, she'd go undercover and meticulously record every crime they committed, then take them all down once the plot was over.
From then on, Wang Yan lived a triple life as an undercover agent:
In the Wang family, she was the most promising rising star, climbing step by step to the peak of power;
In the Nine Gates, she was “Sister Yan,” a collateral relative of the Xie family, Wu Xie's most trusted ally and Xie Yuchen's most dependable older sister;
For the authorities, she was at the heart of “Project Inkstone,” recording evidence of every tomb robbery, smuggling operation, and murder.
At the Seven-Star Lu Palace, she recorded “illegal excavation of ancient tombs.”
At the Cloud-Topped Palace, she recorded “intentional homicide.”
In the Snake Marsh Ghost City, she unexpectedly gained immortality and became the “ultimate key” everyone wanted to seize.
Wang Yan: Don't fall for me. It won't end well!
But as she kept taking notes, she began to realize something was wrong...
Were the authorities not so clean after all? Was the Wang family not purely evil? Did the Nine Gates have their own reasons?
And she herself had gone from “enforcer” to “a player in the game.”
As her faith crumbled and justice grew uncertain, Wang Yan sneered:
To hell with the authorities, and to hell with the Wang family. She would take control of the Wang family herself!
