Being a tomb keeper is actually very cruel. After all, the bloodline must be continued, so... regardless of whether the previous generation was male or female, someone from outside would be found to be their partner. In the end, the mother would be removed and the child would be left. If it was a man, he would be killed as soon as the child was born.

Yuan Qingyou's father was not immune either.

Yuan Qingyou's grandfather found a woman outside, not for the purpose of continuing the family line, but during this year or so, the lonely tomb keeper, who was also Yuan Qingyou's father, fell deeply in love with this woman.

It wasn't until she gave birth to Yuan Qingyou that Yuan Qingyou's grandfather decided to kill her.

Yuan Qingyou's father, Yuan Tianlan, pleaded desperately, saying that this woman would not reveal the secret, and they would not leave either; they would stay in this tomb and would not go out.

However, in the eyes of Yuan Qingyou's grandfather, a secret is a secret, and the only people who can protect a secret are the dead.

Yuan Qingyou's grandfather did not agree. Just as he was about to kill the woman, he discovered that Yuan Tianlan had eloped with her. Enraged, Yuan Qingyou's grandfather activated some mechanisms inside the tomb, causing the woman to fall into the reservoir and drown.

Yuan Tianlan stared blankly as the woman he loved died before his eyes, and he couldn't do anything in front of his father.

Yes, it's all fate, it's all this damn secret.

After that, Yuan Tianlan changed and became an alcoholic.

After Yuan Qingyou was born, he didn't inquire about her, always feeling that it was all because of Yuan Qingyou, otherwise his beloved woman wouldn't have died.

When Yuan Qingyou was ten years old, her grandfather passed away.

Ever since Yuan Qingyou was old enough to remember things, her grandfather had given her many things, because he knew that Yuan Tianlan was no longer of any use.

Having learned from Yuan Tianlan's example, they constantly warned Yuan Qingyou that the tomb keepers must never be moved by emotions.

So from the time Yuan Qingyou could remember, her mind and heart were filled with what her grandfather had instilled in her.

Life went on simply like that, but for Yuan Tianlan, it was like being a walking corpse.

When her grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill and died, Yuan Qingyou's life underwent a dramatic change.

Everything was turned upside down in an instant; her life, which had always been as gentle as water, was changing little by little.

This change caught her completely off guard.

My grandfather passed away, and my father gradually went from being an alcoholic to a gambler. He quickly squandered the family fortune passed down from his ancestors. He always hated this family. If it weren't for these family precepts, the woman he loved wouldn't have died.

So it seems that he was acting with a sense of revenge, and in the end, he simply went all the way and sold off the family secret.

He sold it to some tomb raiders, hoping to get some money, and then fled the place.

Yuan Qingyou, who had been inside the tomb, was unaware of this until the tomb raiders arrived.

Following Yuan Tianlan's words, the tomb raiders indeed found the entrance to the tomb, but they lingered there many times without being able to enter.

There were five of them!

It wasn't until they met Yuan Qingyou that they managed to extract some secrets from the naive girl. Then they deceived her, saying that they had captured her father and would kill him if she didn't help open the door.
