His father, a legendary gambler, died a tragic death. His mother, a goddess, disappeared.
The day before young Lu Ke’s eighth birthday, he left with Master Qian, who had come to town to perform magic tricks.
He studied magic tricks for thirteen years. Only after completing his apprenticeship did he learn that he had mastered the supernatural hand of a gambling prodigy.
At his graduation, Master Qian gave him sixteen words to show him the way:
“Return to Pucheng. Cleanse the gambling dens in blood. Avenge your father. Find your mother.”
Who was Master Qian, really? Was it no coincidence that he had appeared in Pucheng all those years ago?
His father was Pucheng’s first legendary gambling prodigy, yet he ended up losing both his wife and son.
Lu Ke remembers his father’s dying wish: “Never gamble.” And yet he has inherited his father’s trade.
Returning to Pucheng to walk the “golden road” is sure to unleash a storm of bloodshed, and a tale of love and hate awaits him as well...
