Song Qingyun was born into a family of feng shui masters and should have had a bright future. But when he was eight, his father, a master of profound arts whose skill rivaled the divine, suffered a devastating injury and fell into a coma. His mother promptly abandoned her husband and child and left for parts unknown, leaving Song Qingyun an orphan with no one to care for him. Fortunately, one of his father's closest friends from before his death came to his rescue and became his master, carefully teaching him the esoteric art of divining with yin trigrams.
