Summary:

Liu Sang is alone. He has no backup, no connections, no safety net. And in the tomb raiding business, that’s never a good thing. So in order to buy himself a somewhat safe position, where he won’t be seen as expendable, he begins a rumor that he’s dating Wu Xie.

Wu Xie, after all, is the perfect person for the role; he’s from a wealthy and influential family, is legendary in the business, and is close friends with Liu Sang’s idol. More importantly, he’s famously distanced himself from tomb raiding and likely won’t ever hear of the rumor. This means that for years, while Liu Sang builds up his own connections and reputation, he has some measure of safety.

And then he shows up at a tomb raid, hired by Wu Erbai (already a risk in itself, but the man has never said anything about the rumor) to find that Wu Xie (and Liu Sang’s idol) is there.

…Shit.
