Late 1970s. A rainy night on Hong Kong Island. Hung Gau, a gang enforcer, shows up at the Chen family’s feng shui shop with a knife.
Chen Xuansheng, heir to a dilapidated feng shui shop, wakes up one day deep in debt and about to have his hand chopped off. Everyone thinks he’s a fraud, but the moment he takes up his family’s celestial compass, his twin souls awaken his mind, and he masters the Book of the Azure Satchel.
After watching Hung Gau for three breaths, he predicts that the man’s left hand will bleed. With a single glance at a grave, he sees through its hidden layout, digs up a broken incense nail, and exposes the scheme behind Master Lung Hei’s family’s string of misfortunes.
From chasing deadbeats in Yau Ma Tei to being summoned by tycoons on the Peak; from broken incense in ancestral graves to a crying-gate curse at a nightclub; from building stars in the entertainment industry to secret battles over luxury real estate, Chen Xuansheng uses his compass, peachwood ruler, and uncanny insight into human nature to make his way onto the feng shui scene of Hong Kong Island.
Fake masters want to trample him, gang bosses want to use him, wealthy families want to scheme against him, and British capital wants him dead.
Chen Xuansheng merely says:
“Feng shui isn’t about waiting for heaven to decide your fate. You create your own momentum and change your own destiny.”
In this life, he will rise from a crook’s so-called charlatan to a mysterious arts tycoon whom everyone in Hong Kong fears and respects.
