"Across the World: My Life as a Gambling King"
——A gamble spanning half a century, the stakes are family, love and the entire Macau.
In 1941, He Jincheng, a young man in trouble, squeezed onto a broken ship with ten Hong Kong dollars in his pocket. It only took him twenty years to go from a dockyard boy to a "gambling king" in charge of a billion-dollar empire.
This is a gambling epic and a family fate.
Four relationships and four women, within the high wall he built with money and power, lived out their own strategies of survival:
· Shen Ruowei: A Portuguese aristocrat, his white moonlight and stepping stone faded in his prime, leaving behind a trace of sadness.
· Ji Wanlin: The strongest comrade-in-arms, decisive in killing, and trained for him an heir who is most like her.
· Su Yingyue: Gentle care, taking root silently in the center of the storm, watching until the clouds clear and the moon shines.
· Lin Yanling: A grassroots dancer who kills with courage and redefines the rules of survival for wealthy families.
Money is both armor and weakness.
When wealth piles up, poison comes before aging. In front of the window of a Swiss snow mountain sanatorium, the late gambling king tremblingly wrote hundreds of pages of family trust - this is not a will, but the last protective shield left by a father to his children.
There are capital games that are more thrilling than business wars, and family secret wars that are more cruel than palace battles. The ups and downs of the four women's wisdom in the male empire, and the succession war between the rich second generations wearing golden shackles, together composed an elegy for the times.
Eventually you will find:
What about winning the entire casino? The dynasty he spent his whole life building will eventually have to be played by the next generation on the gambling table of family, desire and time.
"In my life, I have never believed in fate, only myself."
