The Jadeite Compendium

I was determined to revive the family business, but instead of a one-way ticket to heaven, I got a one-way ticket to hell. After two years lost in confusion, I stumbled upon the truth: everything back then was nothing but a scam designed to fleece us. From that moment on, consumed by hatred, I set out on the path of revenge. No matter how difficult the road ahead, no matter how thick with brambles, I swear I will clear it, if only to soothe the hatred in my heart and honor the two fingers I lost. Fake skins, fake colors, fake veneers: I know the traditional methods of forgery inside out. Drilling holes, hollowing out the insides, faking the jade's quality: the veil is now being lifted on the new high-tech methods of fraud, one layer at a time. In stone gambling, you bet on your eye for detail, and you bet on your fate, too.
