Orchid and Jade in the Snow

Forty years ago, the River God of Sanjiang won a white crane in a wager.

Forty years later, when the crane died, a white mark appeared on his finger.

A monk told him, “This is the first unresolved matter from your past life.”

Ten fingers, ten karmic debts. When all ten marks appear, it will be time to reclaim your place.

Did his protector betray him in a past life? Do those enthroned as gods treat human lives as worthless?

Nine matters remain unresolved, and nine paths home remain untraveled.

What he failed to claim in his past life, he will take back himself in this one!
