Mad Fate2023

All Details

  • On a rainy night, a murder shocks the entire city as Sister Feng is brutally slain... A master of fate, specializing in resolving "death calamities," gazes sorrowfully at the corpse. The young owner of a local tea restaurant, who was delivering food, stumbles upon the bloody scene, and the two unexpectedly meet at this moment! The master predicts that the young owner will be imprisoned for murder, so the young owner, resigned to fate, seeks the master's help to change his destiny. Meanwhile, a veteran detective is convinced that the young owner is a psychopath, believing he cannot escape his bloody nature. The master, however, insists that it is fate at work and not the young owner's fault. Despite employing all his feng shui techniques and Western and Eastern occult knowledge, the master realizes that fighting against fate is futile. In a moment of despair, the master is cornered by the veteran detective, the killer closes in step by step, and even the temptation of a young Sister Feng intensifies the young owner's murderous intent. With a steel knife already in his hand, he seems on the verge of plunging into the abyss of murder! On the brink of the master's mental collapse, the foretold catastrophe approaches! Is everything that unfolds simply a self-arrangement of fate, with humanity powerless to alter the myriad possible outcomes?
