The Guanzhong Tomb Raider's Notes

One embroidered shoe, half a debt to the King of Hell.

Qin Xin, an apprentice at an antique shop, gives in to greed and breaks his master's strict rule against buying waterlogged goods, secretly accepting a strange plain-satin embroidered shoe from the Ming Dynasty.

But as soon as the deal is done, the seller mysteriously drowns in a shallow stretch of water barely waist-deep, right before everyone's eyes.

A woman with blood streaming from all seven orifices stalks him in his dreams, closing in step by step... A nightmare curse takes hold of Qin Xin, and bloodstains crawl up his arm like living things.

His master reveals the painful memories that have been buried for more than twenty years.

Now the same bloodstain curse is consuming his only disciple.

Why has this bloodstained embroidered shoe resurfaced?

What secrets lie buried in the imperial consort's tomb deep in Longxi?

Can Qin Xin break the deadly curse before the bloodstains cover his entire body?

This is a buried blood debt from a Tomb Raiding expedition, sparked by a bloodstained embroidered shoe. More than that, it is a desperate attempt at redemption in a race against death!
