## History

### Tomb of the Sea

In Episode 1, Wang Xiaoyuan arrived in front of Shen Qiong's place of residence. Following the car that she arrived in was a military looking vehicle. She got out of the vehicle and walked towards the entrance of the building where Shen Qiong lived. She look around, then signaled those in the vehicles to come out. Li Cu had called out to her but she seemingly did not hear. Su Wan, a friend of Li Cu's and her classmate had a crush on Shen Qiong and was excited to hear that Shen Qiong was back. Li Cu accidentally dropped his soccer ball from the window of his building and it rolled under one of the cars.

Li Cu went to retrieve his ball from under the car, while the men from the vehicles were unloading boxes into the building. Li Cu called out to Shen Qiong again but she went into the building ignoring him again. Li Cu ran into one of the vehicles and noticed a white grainy substance that looked like sand on the tarp of a truck. He lifted the tarp and saw a container also covered in sand before the truck drove away.

Li Cu and Su Wan were on roof of their building and Su Wan was spying on who he thought was Shen Qiong. There were other people who they thought were watching Shen Qiong but were actually watching the place next door. Su Wan lost his drone in that room and Li Cu went into the building to retrieve it. He tried to break into the apartment but Wang Xiaoyuan came out of hers to greet him. He told her about the drone but she had it in her hand saying that it was in the hallway. Li Cu told her about all the strange occurrences of the apartment next door but she only wanted to know if he had been drinking. He takes her to the window in her apartment and points out to the men who were watching the building who had seemingly left in the meantime. She accused him of spying on her since he knew about the men but Li Cu deflected telling her it was Su Wan, saying that he was worried because of the strange trucks. She acted strangely but explained that it was a friend she met while traveling. She remembered a souvenir she brought back from her travels and gave it to Li Cu. She wanted him to open it up when he was alone. She hugged him and looked up at Su Wan who was watching from afar with his binoculars.

Later, the souvenir that Wang Xiaoyuan gave to Li Cu turned out to be an antique looking box that had some kind of black goo inside. When Li Cu went to open it, the goo came out and hit him on the head. Meanwhile, man had broken out of the mysterious apartment next door shouting for his box. The same man later attacked Li Cu for the box. When he found that nothing was inside the box he carved a pattern into Li Cu's back. She regularly hangs out with Su Wan and Yang Hao and gets roped into their problems.

In Episode 12, she invited Su Wan over to go over homework and tried to get information about the Xin Yue Restaurant from him. It didn't work and when he tried to leave, Su Wan accidentally moved the cloth that was covering the desk which had pictures underneath the glass top. She became uncomfortable when Su Wan was asking about the pictures and wondered where Shen Qiong's parents had gone to. Su Wan saw another picture but this was black and white and looked older. A woman who looked strikingly similar to Shen Qiong was in it. Su Wan wondered if it was her mother but Wang Xiaoyuan avoided answering and hurried him to leave.

In Episode 19, she went over to Su Wan's and discovered all of the packages that were sent to Li Cu but that Su Wan was keeping. The items were from Gutong Jing and from the 1940s. She convinced him to open one of the boxes. When she recognized something in the box, she urged Su Wan to get her something to drink. Once he left, she looked inside and found an ID with information of someone that looked exactly like her and was also named Shen Qiong. She was shaken up and grabbed a knife and headed downstairs where Su Wan was. She was sneaking up behind him with the knife. In a cut scene, she disappeared from behind Su Wan, and Zhang Rishan was seen walking away rolling a large suitcase.
