Chen Yaozu, a veteran rescue worker, transmigrates into the body of a middle-aged Chinese fugitive hiding in a Thai bathroom beside his own younger doppelgänger's corpse. With Interpol and domestic authorities closing in, he flees through Thailand to Ecuador, then walks the migrant trail north toward the United States. Along the way, he awakens Yin-Yang Eyes, allowing him to see resentful ghosts, spirits, and the hidden supernatural underbelly of the Americas.

To survive both human hunters and paranormal threats, he reinvents himself as a street fortune-teller in North America's Chinatowns, using cold reading, psychological insight, and genuine metaphysical perception to solve mysteries, exorcise spirits, and navigate gang wars — all while insisting he's just a con artist, not a wizard. A gritty urban fantasy blending migration noir, supernatural investigation, and dark humor.
