The book tells the story of the protagonist Liu Ziyan, who is a Feng Shui master. In the novel, his three experiences of selecting auspicious burial sites for others are full of black humor. The first two times were for the benefit of others, and only the third time was for himself. However, fate played a bitter and cruel joke on him. The auspicious burial site he personally selected did not bring good luck to his descendants. The theme of the work is not Feng Shui, but the love between men and women and the secular way. Jia Pingwa focuses on expressing the complexity and diversity of human nature in the face of difficulties and dangers in the world.
