My name is Chen Fan, I am 21 years old and an ordinary junior student at Fudan University in Shanghai.
In the summer of 2018, due to a moment of greed, I was tricked and fell into the quagmire of online gambling. In just three months, I not only lost all the tuition and living expenses my parents gave me, but also owed a loan shark of 500,000 yuan.
When the collectors blocked my school entrance, threatened to break my legs, and went to my hometown to find my parents, I thought my life had come to an end.
Just when I was about to jump off the school building, an old man wearing a Tang suit appeared in front of me. His name is Mr. Su, an inconspicuous dealer at the Lisboa Casino in Macau, and the current head of the Que Gate among the eight gates that have been rumored for hundreds of years.
Mr. Su told me that there is a world hidden under the modern city. This world is composed of eight ancient sects. They have existed since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, they have now penetrated into every corner of modern society.
Mr. Su said that I was born with the talent of the bird family and was a gambling prodigy that could only be seen in a century. He is willing to help me pay off all my debts, but the condition is that I must become his disciple and become the successor of the Que Sect.
Desperate, I agreed to Mr. Su's conditions and stepped into this world that I had never imagined before.
