Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Midnight, the hour of Zi (11 PM - 1 AM).

In front of a cave in the desolate mountains of the western suburbs.

A group of young men in their early twenties were holding up a brand-new mobile phone and live-streaming the dark and eerie cave behind them.

"Good evening, everyone in the live stream. We have now arrived at the cave located in Xijing Mountain. It is said that this cave was left by tomb raiders. We will go into the cave together in a moment to explore and see if there are any thousand-year-old zombies or the like inside."

The speaker was dressed in high-end custom-made clothing, with delicate features, and had the currently popular "pretty boy" look.

His name is Gu Yuncheng. He is a popular ghost-hunting streamer on the Orange Live platform and the youngest son of the Gu family, the richest family in Jinghai.

Young Master Gu was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, lacking neither money nor fame. With his elder brother in charge of the Gu family, he didn't need to worry about anything. He was so idle that he was practically rolling in the air. One of his great hobbies was exploring all sorts of supernatural events.

In short, it means courting death.

As soon as he started broadcasting, countless viewers flooded into the live stream room. Some were paranormal enthusiasts, while others came because of Gu Yuncheng's face and identity.

[Is Young Master Gu going all out today?]

[A girl went missing a couple of days ago in Xijing Mountain; apparently, she went into a cave to explore and never came out.]

Is this true or false? I haven't seen any news reports about it.

"Young Master Gu, perhaps we should find another spot. This really does look like a hole left by tomb raiders; who knows what kind of female ghost or zombie might be down there."

[This is hilarious! You guys actually believe these scripts? This is just some jokes that rich people make when they're bored. Only little fairies like you would believe it.]

Gu Yuncheng replied to a few comments, then waved to the people around him, indicating that they could enter the cave.

While the barrage of comments was still flying around, a group of people had already entered the cave with high-powered spotlights.

The first half of the journey was relatively flat and wide, but the tunnels were damp and chilly.

Gu Yuncheng and his group gradually relaxed, and even had the leisure to joke around with the fans in the live chat.

"This looks like an ordinary cave. If there were really tombs down here, they would have been discovered long ago."

If there really is a tomb, are there any traps or mechanisms inside?

The very next moment that comment appeared, the group suddenly felt their feet sink into the ground—

Then it plummeted straight down.

This godforsaken place actually has some kind of trap!

They fell into a tomb chamber.

The searchlight rolled to a corner of the tomb chamber. Gu Yuncheng picked it up and shone it around.

On the central high platform of this tomb chamber, there is a jade coffin.

[Oh no, is Young Master Gu going to be mistaken for a tomb raider?]

[You guys still have the leisure to discuss this? Has no one noticed that coffin... seems to be moving?]

Gu Yuncheng waved to a few people and, mustering his courage, approached the coffin.

The camera then panned to the coffin.

The next moment, the coffin creaked open...

This live stream has been disconnected.

The live stream abruptly stopped, leaving only a line of red warning text, conveying an ominous and eerie feeling, in front of all viewers.

The hashtag "[Young Master Gu Encounters a Ghost]" quickly became a trending topic on Weibo.

Shen Nian opened her eyes in complete darkness.

She moved her stiff and cold body and sat up from the jade coffin.

Before her stood Gu Yuncheng and the others, who were almost paralyzed with fear.

"It's...it's risen from the dead!!!"

"Help!!! There's a ghost!!!"

"Where's the talisman? Where's the talisman the master gave us? Quickly, bring it out!"

A group of people were so frightened that they ran around the tomb chamber in a panic, as if Shen Nian would suddenly pounce on them and devour them at any moment.

Shen Nian had a headache from the noise of this group of people.

"Shut up."

Holding a stack of yellow talismans, Gu Yuncheng asked tremblingly, "Are you... a living person?"

I guess so.

She is the owner of this tomb. She has been sleeping underground for nearly a thousand years after her death. However, by chance, she was resurrected in the body of this modern girl, so she can only be considered a living person.

Gu Yuncheng was on the verge of collapse when he said, "What do you mean by 'consider it'?! Are you even alive?! Don't come any closer! My bag is full of talismans drawn by masters to ward off evil spirits!"

Shen Nian glanced at the stack of scrap paper in his hand and fell silent.

Are cultivators a thousand years later so incapable of even drawing the most basic talisman?

This isn't even as good as her random drawings when she was three years old.

Suddenly someone said, "Young Master Gu, she's alive. Look at her clothes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuncheng looked up at Shen Nian's clothes and saw that she was wearing a faded T-shirt and jeans, which were undoubtedly modern clothes.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why are you lying in a coffin? Do you know how scary that is?"

"I see," Gu Yuncheng said with a sudden realization. "You're a ghost-hunting blogger too, right? This is a task your fans gave you, right? The challenge is to sleep in a dead person's coffin? You're amazing. I wouldn't dare to take on this task right now."

Shen Nian: ...

Is this person missing a screw in their head?

"So how did you get in? Did you fall in through a trap like us? Do you know how to get out?"

She pressed her temples, thinking to herself that this person was probably a parrot reincarnated.

How can you be so noisy!

"Shut up, then come with me, I'll take you out."

"Great, you actually know how to get out. I thought we were going to be stuck here."

Nonsense, this is her grave. How could she not know how to get out?

Shen Nian led this group of dimwits through the tomb passage, avoiding all sorts of traps and mechanisms.

Gu Yuncheng continued chattering behind her, "Hey, what's your livestream account name? I'll follow you as soon as I get out! I'll get all my fans to send you gifts in your livestream! If you ever find any supernatural places, call me along, let's livestream together!"

"...I told you, shut up."

"All right."

The group finally left the tomb and returned to the surface at nearly 3 a.m.

As soon as they appeared, countless white helicopter searchlights shone on them.

Shen Nian looked up at the dozens of helicopters circling in the sky, squinting as the lights dazzled her.

The world a thousand years later is truly wondrous; mortals can now fly without the need for swords.

Someone exclaimed, "We've found the young master! Notify President Gu, he's out!"

Gu Yuncheng chuckled twice: "Why are there so many people... I'm fine, where's my brother? He didn't come too, did he...?"

The rescue team leader glanced at him: "What do you think? President Gu gave up a billion-dollar contract for you! Hey, President Gu, over here! The second young master and the others are out."

Shen Nian turned her head and saw a tall man walking towards them.

His expression was indifferent, and his features were sculpted with handsome and noble beauty.

Gu Yuncheng patted Shen Nian on the shoulder: "This is the young lady who brought us out. You should thank her properly, bro..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the girl under his command stiffen and fall straight down.

Without veering too far, she fell into Gu Qiwen's arms.

Gu Qiwen looked down at the girl who had fallen into his arms and frowned, but for some reason, he did not feel any disgust. Instead, he reached out and picked her up steadily.

Gu Yuncheng was stunned: "Brother, aren't you a germaphobe...?"

Last time, a rich girl pretended to sprain her ankle and tried to jump into her brother's arms, but he dodged her.

However, before he could finish speaking, he and the entire group who had gone down into the tomb also fainted.

Gu Qiwen carried Shen Nian, turned around, and got into the car, saying coldly, "To the hospital."
