A village boy learns the Ma Yi divination arts passed down through his family, bears a curse of fate, and is ordered to descend the mountain and enter the world.
With a glance, he reads a person’s complexion and judges their fortune and misfortune. With a touch, he probes the earth’s qi and breaks evil, inauspicious geomantic formations.
When he first arrives in the bustling city, everyone dismisses him as a swaggering, fraudulent fortune-teller. But as bizarre disasters occur one after another, wealthy merchants and powerful figures caught in peril can only come to his door and beg him to intervene.
A haunted house conceals stagnant, baleful energy. A wicked diviner secretly lays a deadly formation. One strange urban incident after another unfolds, and danger closes in from all sides.
As he breaks one deadly formation after another, the curse of fate that has haunted the Lin family for generations, along with decades-old feuds and secrets sealed away by his ancestors, slowly comes to light.
