In his previous life, Chen Jingnian, a Chinese capital trader who shuffled the cards of the powerful, died in a political donation case. When he opened his eyes again in 1994, he was a gangster in the East District of Los Angeles who owed $18,000 in loan sharks. In a dark alley on a rainy night, a suitcase that shouldn't be opened drags him into a whirlpool of gambling, police informants, gang ledgers and hidden benefactors. The underground emperor system only prompts ownership, risk and era nodes. There is no money, no guns, only information gaps. With his creditors on the verge of death, pursuits on the streets, and enemies from his past life still toasting from high above, he must survive tonight before turning over the American card tables into his own hands one by one.
