After transmigrating three years ago, Lin Jinyan found himself in a tough life: a destitute mother, mountains of debt, a sickly younger brother, and his own battered body. Obsessed with money, Lin worked himself to the bone, taking up to eight jobs a day while fending off harassment from local thugs.
Three years of struggle later, he decided there was only one way out: cling to a powerful backer. His target? The notorious Qin Wu.
Lin Jinyan didn’t settle for small fry. If he was going to bet, it would be on the biggest shark in Hong Kong. If he succeeded, he could live as a king. If he failed, well—eighteen years later, he’d just be another man again.
Qin Wu was a legend in Hong Kong’s underworld—a kingpin among kingpins. Charismatic, ruthless, and wealthy, he ruled with an iron fist. His loyal followers were as fierce as wolves.
Qin Wu: “So, you only love my money?”
Lin Jinyan (earnestly): “What nonsense! I love your power and your brainless goons too. They follow every order, after all.”
Qin Wu: [shuts the door with a smile]
Lin Jinyan’s grin faltered: “…Seriously?”
If you can’t take a joke, don’t play the game.
