Sorcerers master yin-yang and the Eight Trigrams, feng shui and land divination, tomb raiding, ghost banishment and warding off evil, divination of the past, and prophecy of the future... In short, nothing mysterious or supernatural in this world can escape their notice.
Dan Zhuokun is a young member of the yin-yang sorcerers. He is not only handsome, but also sharp-minded and courageous in the face of danger. His Daoist skills, however, are mediocre at best. Fortunately, he loves to brag, and that has still helped him make plenty of friends.
As it happens, one botched tomb raid sends him, by some strange twist of fate, to the Tang dynasty, a place so remote not even birds bother to shit there.
To his surprise, he somehow ends up in the imperial palace and becomes Emperor Taizong Li Shimin’s personal diviner, embarking on a life of success and glory.
Wait, why are all these people so polite, yet every one of them is setting a trap for him? And what’s with that Lady Zhifeng? She’s quite pretty, but she’s got a rough temper. Does a girl really need to spend every day fighting and killing?
Fine, if that’s how it is, don’t blame me for showing no mercy! And you, little rascal, go ahead and keep showing off. Just wait until I catch you one day. I’ll beat you into shape and make sure you learn what real power is.
And so begins a battle of wits and magic spanning a thousand years, full of danger and uproarious comedy...
