Qi Mo was born in a peaceful and prosperous age. He was the Sheng Dynasty's most infuriatingly spoiled young noble, with no grand ambitions and a talent for living it up and spending money like water.
Then his uncle, the emperor, died suddenly in the prime of his life, leaving no one to succeed him.
So, amid the ministers' sighs and groans, the young noble who should have spent his life in idle luxury became emperor.
The emperor himself had never wanted the job. On top of that, the old ministers nagged him every day, urging him either to fill the imperial harem or produce heirs, afraid he'd follow in the late emperor's footsteps.
Qi Mo was so fed up that he kept sneaking off to the imperial mausoleum, wishing his uncle would come back to life and save his hide.
One day, Qi Mo had gone to the mausoleum to enjoy some peace and quiet when a woman appeared from who knew where, covered in dust and holding a Luoyang shovel in one hand and a measuring tape in the other.
Qi Mo stared in shock and indignation, his voice trembling at the end.
"The late emperor's bones aren't even cold, and you're already here to rob his tomb?!"
The woman wore strange clothes, but at one particular word, she spun around as if stung and shouted back, "Don't call me a tomb robber!"
*Yun Ying was an outstanding archaeology graduate, currently working with an archaeological team to excavate a newly discovered group of large tombs.
She was so engrossed in drawing a site plan in the pit that, when a flash of white light passed, she transmigrated.
Still holding her Luoyang shovel and measuring tape, she found herself face-to-face in the imperial mausoleum with a young man in dragon robes.
He seemed a little off in the head. He slapped himself, then grabbed a valuable wine cup and threw it at her.
Yun Ying had no time to think. Her body reacted first, and her voice broke as she stared in horror. "The white jade cup! No!"
