The Heavenly Master Descends the Mountain: My Fiancée Is a Rich Heiress

T an Jiu, a disciple of a reclusive Daoist sect, is sent down the mountain by his grandfather with their family’s secret arts and a compass. He heads to Jiangbei to honor five marriage contracts arranged by their ancestors. New to the city, he keeps a low profile, but when he first meets his fiancée, Lin Qianqian, at the Lin family home, he catches the housekeeper’s son, Li Wei, and her best friend, Chen Ling, plotting something vile. They plan to use a wicked spell and an aphrodisiac to defile Lin Qianqian. Tan Jiu steps in and foils their scheme, but during the exorcism, the forces of yin and yang converge, and he and Lin Qianqian accidentally sleep together. Once she wakes, Lin Qianqian is misled and refuses to believe the truth. Disgusted by Tan Jiu’s “country bumpkin” air, she instead idolizes Li Wei’s fake persona.

From there, Tan Jiu gradually uncovers the undercurrents lurking beneath Jiangbei. At Tianyou Group, his skills in feng shui and exorcism, as well as his ability to cure illnesses, win the approval of business queen Chen Ruoxue. At the antique market, his keen eye reveals yin energy hidden in a jade Buddha. He meets the elegant and perceptive Shen Nuo, only to discover she is also bound to him by a marriage contract. On the street, he runs into policewoman Geng Qian. A misunderstanding while pursuing a criminal exposes his fourth engagement, and after they join forces to hunt down a mountain demon, the tough-as-nails beauty falls for him. Finally, at the Su family pharmacy, he breaks a deadly Miaojiang curse and protects the innocent, adorable Su Xiaoxiao, bringing all five fiancées together.

Along the way, he puts the vengeful spirit of an ancient well to rest, battles evil sorcerers from Southeast Asia, breaks a corpse-puppet formation, and defeats a sinister Siamese monk. With his peerless Daoist arts, he resolves one supernatural crisis after another in Jiangbei. He also unexpectedly discovers that the leaders of both the underworld and the legitimate world in Jiangbei owe their rise to his grandfather, who once gave them a helping hand. They all come calling to acknowledge him as their “young master.” Lin Qianqian, who once despised him, finally sees Li Wei’s true colors after being abducted and witnessing Tan Jiu risk his life to save her. She falls completely for him. From then on, Tan Jiu quietly takes command of Jiangbei’s turbulent world, with five fiancées, each possessing her own charms
