King of Gamblers

In the clamor of a crowded gambling den behind a fish stall:

A blank playing card, a full dice cup.

A gambler king's past, buried by time.

Countless schemes, twisting and treacherous.

Japanese, Americans, and people from the British Empire.

Countless stolen relics, and a casino license nearing expiration.

Honey traps and feigned injuries, each scheme harder to get past than the last.

With the Chinese gambling underworld in decline, how can Shi Wu turn the tide?

Shi Wu: "A small-scale swindle takes money. A grand-scale swindle takes a nation!"

The Gambling King of Hong Kong: "Shi Wu is the only one worthy of the title of Qianmen's rising star."

The leader of the Orchid Sect: "When a rising star of Qianmen appears, he is sure to forge a new path."
