Plot

The narrative centers on the Back Pushing Diagrams (Tui Bei Tu), a legendary text believed to possess the power to predict the future. Yip Yeung (Benny Chan) develops an interest in these diagrams, leading Yuen Hei (Steven Ma) to attempt to deceive him with a fraudulent set. Their scheme is exposed by Lee Sing Tin (Yuen Wah), a master of divination who once assisted Emperor Zhao Kuangyin (Kwok Fung) in securing the throne. Lee eventually takes both Yip and Yuen as his students to pass on his knowledge.

The plot intensifies when Yip Yeung discovers his heritage as a descendant of a previous dynasty. Influenced by another master, Nam Fong Man (Lau Kong), who intends to use Yip to reclaim the imperial throne, Yip attempts to use his predictive abilities to challenge the ruling Song dynasty. Despite his calculations, he faces a series of tragic outcomes.
