Synopsis

【Gambling tricks + the underworld + multiple female leads + setting traps + breaking traps】 Wu Qi is a seven-year-old orphan who catches the eye of Hong Liuzhi, the gambling king known in the underworld as Ghost Hand Hears Heaven. Hong takes him on as his last disciple, teaching him six great gambling techniques, including the Cloud-Shadow Illusion Hand and Dice by Sound. Starting out as a street kid in the Dark Star Pavilion, Wu Qi follows his master's teaching, “Gambling has its own way, and that way lies in the human heart.” Step by step, he brings the Eight Generals of the Gambling World under his command and forms a righteous brotherhood dedicated to justice. He crushes the Triad Society's brutality, exposes a Japanese gambling king's deadly illusion trap, and tears open the gambling dens' dark underbelly of collusion between officials and businessmen. He hammers the rules “Never touch money people need to survive” and “Never prey on the weak” into the muddy depths of Hong Kong's underworld. A beautiful policewoman undercover plays a dangerous game of flirtation; a teahouse owner offers him gentle companionship. Underworld slang mixes with brash profanity, and every gambling contest becomes a battle of wits and hearts. When the sixteen-year-old boy steps onto the gambling table with a cigarette between his lips and declares, “My gambling tricks are for punishing evildoers alone,” Wu Qi's legendary underworld tale has only just begun.
