Partners at the Knife’s Edge, 1999

Shao Yun, a graduate student in jewelry appraisal, accompanies his advisor to a private jewelry exhibition and is captivated by a piece of top-grade Imperial Green jadeite.

They say it was personally cut and polished by a legendary jewelry tycoon.

It isn't for sale, only to be gifted to someone whose birth date and time make them a destined match.

Shao Yun's birth details happen to be a perfect match, but an accident befalls him on the way to meet the jeweler.

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself at the end of the last century, now a gemstone hunter roaming the chaotic lands of Southeast Asia.

To earn a fortune, gemstone hunters must face danger after danger.

Jewelry merchants, mine owners, gem hunters, stone gambling, war, mercenaries, gangs, local militias...

The priceless, beautiful jewels worn by the rich all have blood and tears behind them.

Shao Yun: I'm a top student from a prestigious university in the modern era. Why would I do this? Bye!

The next moment, someone points a gun at his head and orders him to find a missing gemstone.

And the man threatening him is none other than Pei Jiayu, the legendary jeweler from more than twenty years in the future.

Only, right now he's a once-wealthy young master who has just had his family fortune stolen and fled Hong Kong for Southeast Asia to escape his pursuers.

Shao Yun is forced to begin his adventure.

One fake gay, one genuine homophobe.

A new-era top student with a delightfully unhinged mindset meets a down-on-his-luck, aloof and haughty young master at the end of the last century.

A desperate journey to stay alive.

From bitter rivals to inseparable partners.

I'll do my best to write a thrilling, action-packed story.

1. A road adventure with two powerful leads: Mad Dog vs. Vicious Dog, shameless enough to be heard from miles away vs. all bark and no bite.

2. The setting is fictional and unrelated to real life.

3. The gemstone details are mostly made up to serve the plot, so don't take them too seriously.

4. The author says this is really just a love story. I wonder if anyone will believe that.

If meeting is destined to end in parting, then parting also means that one day, we will meet again.

Theme: Life is one great adventure
