A Republic-Era Record of the Occult: A Feng Shui Master with a Spirit Vessel

In Republican-era Shanghai, the winds of change swirl and undercurrents run deep. Shen Mochen, a feng shui Taoist who has mastered the secret arts of the mystic sect, unexpectedly awakens the ability to communicate with the spirits of objects. This power lets him uncover secrets hidden in antiques and sense lurking dangers, but it also draws him into the struggle for the Soul-Calming Seal, where he faces off against Qin Wushang, a ruthless tomb raider. Along the way, he meets Liu Qingyan, a mysterious successor to a line of witches. From mutual suspicion to fighting side by side, the two investigate strange cases, including a murder in a haunted building on the Bund and a sinister ritual in an abandoned church. As their inquiry deepens, they discover a shocking conspiracy behind the Soul-Calming Seal that could overturn Shanghai, and Shen Mochen’s power is intricately tied to the imperial jade seal. Caught between protecting the peace and lifting the veil on history, he faces a difficult choice. Every step affects countless lives, while his bond with Liu Qingyan is put to the test by their dangerous journey.
