On a stormy night in the thirty-seventh year of the Jiajing reign, Chen Fan was born in a haunted house in Suolong Town. His mother died in childbirth, and the midwife screamed in a fit of madness, "A dragon has entered the house! Disaster is at the door!" Because of the vermilion dragon-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder, the townspeople branded him a "jinx."
At five, he could see the "wet-clothed ghostly figure" in the water vat. At ten, he ventured into a mass grave with his childhood friend Wang Pangzi. Using his yin-yang eyes, he broke through the "lone yang curse" that trapped people in a ghostly wall, but nearly became a sacrifice to the townspeople's "evil-spirit god." After his father was ambushed and a "curse to end the family line" was laid over his ancestral grave, a blind old Taoist appeared with half a copy of the Book of the Green Crow, revealing that Chen Fan's birthmark was an ancient "Dragon-Sealing Mark" and that a dragon vein, soon to awaken, lay beneath Suolong Town.
Seeking the truth about his parents' deaths, Chen Fan left home with his family's ancestral compass and was drawn into the "Curse-Nurturing Sect's" conspiracy. At the Blackwater River, a water ghost dragged at his feet. At a Luoyang inn, a red-clad female ghost tried to choke him. In the capital, a vengeful ghost changed its skin in front of a mirror at the Minister of Rites' residence. The heretical sect stole ancient tombs to nurture corpse curses, turned auspicious homes into "qi-devouring formations," and bribed the Imperial Observatory in an attempt to set up the "Ten Thousand Curses Returning to the Origin Formation," unleashing nine evil dragons to overthrow the realm.
Chen Fan joined forces with Su Qing, a cool and aloof descendant of tomb guardians, and Wang Pangzi, who dared to cleave evil spirits with a butcher's knife. Together, they braved the "time-looping fog" of Suolong Town and the "soul-suspending stairs" of Zhongnan Mountain, then descended into the East Sea's "Guixu" to seek the dragon veins beyond the shore. He gradually realized that the most terrible thing was not evil spirits, but the greed in people's hearts. Feng shui was not a means of seizing power, but a shield to protect ordinary people.
In the end, he grew from a "jinx" into a feng shui master capable of using his blood to suppress dragon veins. After the dragon veins of the realm returned to their proper places, he lost his yin-yang eyes. Yet when his son was born, he saw a faint blue-green glimmer in the infant's left eye: the mission of the "Dragon-Sealer"...
