Chen Yixiang is reborn in Hong Kong in 1986 as an undocumented stowaway, penniless.
But he awakens the [Time Travel Ticket] System, which lets him transmigrate into movie worlds and make a fortune.
He brings back the Nazi gold from Project Eagle, along with his first rule:
[Covetous Gaze], Anyone holding a valuable item will be marked by an “unknowable entity.” The greedier they are, the madder they become.
When gold bars whisper in the safe and antiques blink in the dark, he has no choice but to fight madness with an even more unhinged greed.
He launders money through a garment factory, gathers audience fear by making horror films, and cashes in on panic by shorting the stock market.
An O-Record detective is relentless in pursuing him, a triad godfather wants him dead by three in the morning, and Macau’s gambling king invites him to wager his life.
Chen Yixiang merely pushes up his glasses and chuckles at the rules whispering in the darkness:
“Welcome to my game. I’ll use your fear to feed my greed.”
