Wen Guan

Set against the perilous backdrop of ancient tombs and subterranean secrets, the story begins when Li Shiyi, the formidable leader of the Northern sect of tomb raiders, and her companion, Little Tu, make a fateful discovery during an expedition. Inside a mysterious burial vault, alongside a single carved character reading "Jiu," they find an abandoned baby girl. Naming her Song Shijiu, they adopt the child and bring her into their dangerous world, unaware that this chance encounter is merely the opening chapter of a much deeper destiny. Unbeknownst to the young girl, her bond with these seasoned tomb raiders stretches far back into a forgotten past, intertwining their fates through mysterious ties that defy time itself. As the narrative unfolds, it evokes the haunting traditions of the underworld, captured by an old ritualistic query: you knock on a coffin three times—once to ask where it comes from, once to ask where it is headed, and a third time to ask if it would like to stop and share a drink before departing.
