Lin Muzhi was once a prodigy of the Qingwei Sect of Maoshan. After his master died mysteriously five years ago and he suffered a backlash from feng shui, he retired to Hangzhou, content to practice feng shui at his own easygoing pace. A Hong Kong client’s letter, carrying his master’s keepsake, the Five Emperors’ Coins, dragged him back into the maelstrom. The client offered twenty million just to “cleanse a house,” but the job concealed a deadly trap. As Lin Muzhi investigated, he uncovered Guicang Society, a secret organization operating across finance and the occult. Its members used Qimen Dunjia to manipulate the stock market and feng shui formations to reshape corporate fortunes, and even sought to control the country’s economic lifelines. Forced into a merger battle involving three publicly listed companies, Lin Muzhi joined forces with the cool and beautiful banker Shen Yinglan, maneuvering carefully between capital and divination, power plays and talismans. As he uncovered the truth behind his master’s death and fought the occult schemers manipulating the nation’s fortunes, a war of Eastern mysticism erupted in the heart of the modern city.
