Shanghai, 1992. Feng Shui master Lin Feng scrapes by at Guanfeng Studio, the shop his father left behind, until a nightmare-related case draws him into a shocking web of intrigue. The charms of nightclub singer Liu Ruyan, the cool elegance of Su Wanqing, heir to Xuansu Hall, and the fiery allure of reporter Huang Qiaoqiao pull three captivating women into his life one after another.
His father, Lin Zhongyuan, vanished under mysterious circumstances, and the truth leads to the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect's revival of the “Inverse Taiji, Nation-Breaking Formation,” the hidden machinations of the Thirteen Earthly Fiend Sects, and a conspiracy spanning thirty years known as the “Dragon-Tiger Convergence.” To break the formation, Lin Feng makes himself the center of it, caught between deadly occult battles and tangled affairs of the heart.
From the Yin-Locking Curse at the Huangpu auction to the Mother of Yin-Gazing in the underground palace west of the city, from the countdown to the Nine-Star Alignment to the final showdown at the Four Directions Pagoda, this is a contest of Feng Shui and political intrigue, as well as a desperate gamble to defy fate and change one's destiny.
When chance encounters turn into calamities and the women he loves become pawns, can Lin Feng unravel the star chart his father left behind and change his own fate, along with everyone else's, before the nation's destiny collapses?
