A Gambler's Luck and Mind Reading: Turmoil in the Republic Era

In the chaotic Republic of China, warlords clash and gambling dens are battlefields.

At Tianjin's Golden Toad Pavilion, Chen Mo is an orphan whose job is to wipe the dice.

Sixth Master disappears, the Japanese storm the place, and the stakes are the railway maps.

Forced to take a seat at the table, Chen Mo nearly loses his life in the game.

At the brink of death, he unexpectedly gains a golden finger.

A chill runs down the back of his neck, and in an instant he sees through his opponent's magnetic dice.

Once his gaming instinct kicks in, even the rhythm of his breathing can affect who wins.

While others cheat with nimble fingers, he turns the tables by predicting their moves.

At the gambling table, a single thought can decide life or death.

Everyone once looked down on him as an orphan with no one to rely on. Now, they tremble at the mere mention of his name.

He can hear the numbers on the dice and spot the cracks in a person's composure.

Through one high-stakes game after another, he wins weapons, seizes intelligence, and saves patriots.

From Tianjin to Shanghai, from Fengtian to Zhijiang.

Every step he takes reshapes the game of this troubled age.

In the end, he commands the board and saves the nation through gambling.

When the lamp-bearer lives, he is the one who illuminates all under heaven.
