Synopsis

In a nutshell: The wolves of Wall Street, the kingpins of Hong Kong, and the financial sharks of the mainland all thought he was a harmless little fox. Only after they lost everything, landed behind bars, and wished they were dead did they realize: this guy was an old celestial master in human skin.

My name is Jiang Jianjun. On the surface, I’m a low-key financial analyst who returned from overseas, a small-time antique shop owner, and a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at a clinic. In reality, I’m a direct disciple of the Celestial Masters of the Zhengyi School, a modern master of metaphysics specializing in talismans, formations, and feng shui, a top-tier antiques appraiser, an expert in microexpressions and psychological warfare, a genius strategist, and a walking magnet for bad luck.

Why do I say I’m unlucky? Because from childhood on, whenever it looked like I was finished, my opponents were the ones who ended up finished.

At seven, in New York’s Chinatown, a gang of thugs came to smash up my mother’s restaurant. I set up a confusing maze formation and stuck on a spirit-trapping talisman. They beat each other black and blue, then left convinced the place was haunted.

At eight, I was sitting around watching people on Wall Street when investment banking big shot Lin Zhengyuan took me home. That’s when I started learning finance.

At nine, I helped clear the name of a Tsinghua genius who’d been framed. Using a peeping formation and a voice recorder, I sent a Wall Street Jewish executive to prison. I also used five hundred thousand dollars to practice stock trading, quadrupling it in three months.

At ten, I became the apprentice of antiques appraisal master He Boyong. I could tell a fake from the real thing at a glance, and I also solved a bizarre antique mystery spanning three generations.

Later, I returned to China. During the 1997 financial crisis, I worked behind the scenes, using the logic of formations to shape public opinion and help the country win the battle to defend Hong Kong. During the 2008 global crisis, I shorted US stocks and went long on China. I achieved financial freedom, and a circle of stunning women gathered around me too.
