Name: Unemployed at Sixty, I Strike It Rich with Jade Gambling
Author: I'm a Girl

Synopsis

[Stone gambling] [A late-life comeback] [Antique appraisal] [Finding hidden treasures] [Feel-good story] [Those who look down on me]

On his sixtieth birthday, the “gifts” Li Jianguo receives are a layoff notice and divorce papers from his wife.

At the lowest point in his life, he uses his last savings to buy a dusty uncut stone from an old friend at a street stall in northern Myanmar.

The moment he slices through its outer shell, a flash of green sinks into his eyes, and the world suddenly turns transparent before him.

From then on, a figure known as the “Master of Withered Wood” becomes a legend in the jade world.

When he strikes it rich with Imperial Green jade and amasses a fortune worth billions, his ex-wife appears at his door with chicken soup. Li Jianguo merely wipes down his new X-ray glasses and smiles as he watches the world turn.

Books About Stone Gambling

I once read an amazing published book. The female lead had the character Lian in her name, maybe Ximen Jinlian or something like that. It was about gambling on jade. Does anyone know the title?
