He Tian, an heir to a reclusive tradition, carries on the Five Arts of mountain, medicine, physiognomy, divination, and martial arts. Obeying his master's command, he steps into the dazzling, chaotic modern city. He had hoped to quietly fulfill his master's last wishes, but a misunderstanding on the street leads to a fight with Yang Muse, the sharp and capable CEO of a tech company. They clash before they get to know each other.
Dressed in plain clothes and utterly out of place amid the city's glitter, He Tian is initially dismissed by Yang Muse as a con artist. But with each encounter, his astonishing abilities overturn everything she believes: he sees through a street scammer's deceit at a glance; with a silver needle, he can bring the dying back to life; a quick calculation reveals the fortunes and dangers lurking in a business scheme; his fists and feet display the true meaning of martial arts; and he steadies the city's fortunes with an array when the earth's energy shifts.
As He Tian's mastery of the Five Arts comes into its own, the occult world hidden beneath the city begins to reveal itself. The struggle between righteous and wicked forces, the hunt for ancient treasures, and the mystery of his master's disappearance all follow in quick succession, drawing the two into a storm that spans both the mortal world and the occult. From bitter rivals to comrades in arms, from suspicion to sharing each other's fate, He Tian uses the Five Arts to protect the people, while Yang Muse lights the way with her wisdom. Together, amid the concrete jungle, they write a modern occult legend of legacy, protection, and love. When ancient arts meet modern civilization, and a reclusive master crosses paths with a career-minded executive, their encounter, born of a misunderstanding, will unleash a storm that sweeps across Jiangcheng.
