Zhongnan: Raiding a Tomb and Rescuing the Princess Buried Alive
During the Xiantong era of the late Tang Dynasty, in the scorching heat of June, the Daming Palace suddenly reported the sudden demise of Princess Jinghe at the tender age of sixteen. Born to the Emperor's favorite consort and showered with utmost favor during her lifetime, she was nevertheless hastily buried in the abandoned imperial tomb at Mount Lishan. Rumors swirled across the court and the country, claiming that the princess did not die of illness, but was instead murdered by palace poison, and that her burial goods concealed the Lishan Pearl, a supreme treasure of the previous dynasty. Shen Yan, a tomb raider of the Mojin school, taking his young apprentice A Dou, sneaked into the tomb grounds under the guise of offering prayers at a ritual. Using bone-shrinking secret arts to tunnel directly to the underground palace, he intended to retrieve the Lishan Pearl—also marking his final tomb-raiding venture of his life. After rescuing the princess, he would then proceed to uncover the hidden truth behind her sudden death.

Pada zaman Xiantong di penghujung Dinasti Tang, ketika bulan keenam musim panas sedang membahang, Istana Daming tiba-tiba menerima berita bahawa Puteri Jinghe telah mangkat secara mengejut pada usia baru enam belas tahun. Puteri itu merupakan anak kepada gundik kesayangan Maharaja dan sangat dimanjakan semasa hayatnya, namun dikebumikan secara tergesa-gesa di makam diraja terbiar di Gunung Li. Khabar angin tersebar luas di istana dan seluruh negeri. Ada yang mengatakan puteri itu bukan mangkat akibat penyakit, sebaliknya diracun dalam perebutan kuasa di istana. Malah, harta pusaka dari dinasti terdahulu, Mutiara Lizhu, dikatakan turut disemadikan bersamanya. Shen Yan, seorang pakar penggali makam, membawa anak muridnya yang masih kecil, A Dou, menyusup masuk ke kawasan makam dengan menyamar sebagai peserta upacara memohon berkat. Dengan ilmu rahsia mengecilkan tulang, mereka menggali terowong terus menuju ke istana bawah tanah untuk mendapatkan Mutiara Lizhu. Itulah penggalian makam terakhir dalam hidup Shen Yan. Selepas menyelamatkan puteri tersebut, dia mula menyiasat rahsia di sebalik kemangkatan mengejut sang puteri.
