Many people believe that luck exists in this world.
When someone is lucky, they can dominate at the gambling table, and a chance encounter with a benefactor can send them soaring to success. When they’re unlucky, even a drink of water can go down the wrong way. In the worst cases, they might even lose their life.
There’s a saying that gets it just right: when luck comes your way, nothing can stop it.
So what if someone suddenly gained the power to control their luck?
Could they always pick a winning horse, turn danger into safety, or even charge through a hail of bullets with their eyes closed...?
How amazing would that be?
When Zhang Yu arrives in 1990s America, a veteran detective from the major crimes unit becomes an undocumented immigrant with no legal identity.
In Chinatown’s streets, Vietnamese gangsters’ machetes gleam coldly in the alleys, the Chinese gangs’ opium pipes exhale clouds of despair, and local gangsters’ Cadillacs roll over shattered glass.
To survive on your feet here, fists alone aren’t enough, and brains alone aren’t enough either.
So why not rely on luck?
It’s time for a new emperor to rule America’s underworld.
