Archaeology workhorse Yan Bai was summoned from the museum to a construction site by a phone call to identify an artifact. But in the midst of a violent storm, a bolt of lightning struck him and sent him tumbling into an underground city that had lain dormant for a thousand years.
Yan Bai: Am I an artifact now? Damn!
The city fire department received a report that someone had fallen into a huge pit. They heard the person was an archaeology expert, so Captain Pei Zhi immediately led a team to the rescue.
After going to great lengths to enter the underground city, Pei Zhi used his walkie-talkie to contact the expert. "Where are you?"
A sweet female voice came through the walkie-talkie: "GPS signal is weak..."
Yan Bai: No signal! I'm terrible with directions! Help!
Pei Zhi: ...
As the two of them explored the underground city separately, more and more mysteries came to light:
# Why did the empty city echo with the clash of swords?
# Who were the dark figures flickering across the signal-less navigation screen? Were they human or ghosts?
# A mysterious man died beneath the city. Who was the real culprit?
# Who had been scribbling all over the artifacts?
# What secrets were hidden in the map that was so hard to tell apart from a fake?
# The ruined ancient city concealed the truth behind the fall of the Liang Dynasty...
Yan Bai: This isn't scientific. As an archaeologist, I refuse to believe this!
But then, even more unbelievable scenes unfolded:
# (Censored)
# (Censored)
Yan Bai: ...You kissed me.
Pei Zhi: ...
Yan Bai: And you did that other thing to me.
Pei Zhi: ...I'm sorry.
After overcoming countless twists and turns, the two finally met in front of a tomb containing ceremonial clothing and headwear.
Yan Bai: We met online and finally met in person. This is a love that crossed time and space!
Pei Zhi: You talk more than the walkie-talkie.
But new questions arose:
# Whose clothes and headwear were buried in that lonely grave in the wilderness?
# Why did a raging fire shoot up into the sky across the endless yellow sands?
# The white geese cry out as they circle overhead. What keeps them from leaving...
After solving the mysteries one by one, they finally saw daylight again.
"Allow me to introduce myself properly. I'm Pei Zhi. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Yan Bai. It's a pleasure to see you again, too."
My King Yu, my Crown Prince.
