Shanghai, 1935: a glittering world of grand families and sensual delights. Everyone says Miss Hu, the Lianhua studio's award-winning actress, is a celestial beauty. Only Song Jiu can see that her skin is covered in black cat fur.
That's the backlash of borrowing someone else's life.
In this era of warring warlords and celebrated performers, Song Jiu is a feng shui agent working behind the scenes of the film industry.
You say you're a popular movie star with millions of fans? Song Jiu's golden needles will expose you for the demon or madman you really are.
You say you're a concession magnate with half of Shanghai in your grasp? Song Jiu gives you a cold glance. "This land is steeped in yin energy. You won't live to see tomorrow."
Want to live? Hand over the deed to the French Concession.
