In his previous life, Yin Heng was the most pampered legitimate grandson of the Yin family in western Hunan. But his innocence and misplaced trust led his second uncle, who coveted the family's legacy as Mountain-Watching Guardians, his seemingly devoted fiancée, and a self-righteous feng shui master to conspire against him. They accused him of colluding with foreign enemies and selling the ancestral Rousing the Dragon Secret Scroll. As he lay dying, he watched his second uncle take the seat of family head, with his fiancée smiling coquettishly at his side.
When he opened his eyes again, Yin Heng was nine years old, with three months to go before the fateful expedition to the Tomb of the Corpse King in western Hunan. The vague rumors of tomb raiding, family secrets, and every move his enemies had made were now as clear as the lines on his palm. In this life, he would no longer be a harmless legitimate grandson. Using his knowledge of the future, he found the half-scroll of the original Rousing the Dragon Secret Scroll that his grandfather had hidden, and secretly began learning the lost art of “reading qi to find dragon veins.” Step by step, he sets out on the path of revenge.
