I Only Want to Do Archaeology, Not Live Forever 我只想考古，不要长生
No female lead, no romance, treasure hunting, battles, and strategic maneuvering People spend their whole lives pursuing immortality, never knowing that eternal life is endless torment and an everlasting prison. The Sky Palace above the Sea of Clouds is no immortal realm. It is merely a vast cage floating in the void. All I want is to travel across the land, study ancient ruins, and devote myself to archaeology in peace. If this is what immortality means, I don’t want it.

Deep inside the Luocheng Police Department, a metal filing cabinet labeled “Bloodstained Files” holds dozens of long-unsolved, grisly cases.
