"The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 1: The Seven-Star Lu Palace"

Synopsis

Fifty years ago, a group of tomb raiders from Changsha unearthed a Warring States silk manuscript. The surviving fragments recorded the location of a peculiar ancient tomb from the Warring States period, but the tomb raiders encountered bizarre events underground and almost all perished.

Fifty years later, the grandson of one of those tomb raiders discovers this secret in his ancestor's notes. He gathers a team of experienced tomb robbers to search for treasure. But no one expected that this ancient tomb would contain so many strange things: the Seven-Star Suspicious Coffin, the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse, the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress...

Who exactly is the mysterious owner of this tomb? Can they really find the true coffin? Why are there so many unsolved mysteries within the tomb?

What is the connection between the bizarre underwater ship tomb discovered later, the millennia-old sacred tree on the Qinling Mountains, and the snowy tomb palace hidden deep in the mountains? What ancient secrets are concealed behind them?
