Ying Lan, the half-brother of King Qin Hui, is both the lord of the clan and the gifted figure of the land. However, he has been suffering from the backlash of "God's punishment" for spying on heaven's secrets. On the surface, he is unrestrained, but in fact, he is burdened with unimaginable pain and the heavy pressure of predicting the fate of the country. He has a bronze compass in his left hand and "Zhouyi" slips in his right hand, but he relies more on his "fateful eyes" that can discern cause and effect. In a shocking prophecy, he asserted that "the dragon veins of Qin hide the calamity of death, and the royal mausoleum will become the source of trouble." This angered the king, aroused endless suspicion, and suffered unprecedented punishment from heaven.
However, bigger crises followed one after another. The powerful minister Gongsun Yan was so ambitious that he forced Ying Lan to find a "good place for usurpation" for him, hoping to use the power of dragon veins to overthrow the Qin State. Ying Lan made a decision under the pressure of family affection, morality and the backlash of "natural punishment", and resolutely refused, but was framed and imprisoned. In a desperate situation, he endured the pain of heaven's punishment, used his "eye of fate" to gain insight into the "water dragon direction" and the causal relationship during the flood season of the Weishui River, pioneered the theory of "the interdependence of terrain and five elements", and solved many mysteries.
He uses methods that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, to straighten the lines of cause and effect, backfire on powerful officials, and expose their conspiracy. But as the prophecy of "Dragon Vein Hidden Catastrophe of Death" was fulfilled step by step, in order to completely cut off this source of disaster, and to break free from "Heaven's Punishment" and "The Shackles of the Prophet", Ying Lan finally destroyed the "Eye of Fate" with his own hands at the cost of "self-cutting the earth's veins", accepting the punishment of Heaven as a mortal, and changing his fate against the will of Heaven! He used his flesh and blood to break the shackles of fate, used his mortal wisdom to fight against the will of heaven, and turned a fate bound by a prophet into a living legend of his own!
