Synopsis

"Scams" "Northeastern Slice of Life" "Confidence Tricks" "Human Nature" "Scheming"

When people hear about confidence tricksters, they think of gamblers and con artists. But there has been a saying since ancient times about the Eight Roles of the Thousand Gates. The Thousand Gates was never a sect that made its living through gambling and deception. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed a reputation for openly operating in the underworld, where benevolence and morality are hard to separate. We simply don’t understand its rules.

My name is Ning Bei. When I was a child, I got separated from my father at a train station and moved in with my Seventh Granduncle. Only gradually did I learn that he was a principal operative of the Thousand Gates.

I followed him around like a shadow, gradually learning all his tricks. With the help of various Thousand Gates figures, I eventually found my father. Along the way, I came to understand one great truth: people are full of deceit, and their tricks run deep. Now let me tell you how I grew up under my Seventh Granduncle, surviving one scam after another.
