Synopsis
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Pearls of Hepu were exceedingly precious, worth fortunes, and gambling on pearls was a widespread practice. Li Ling, known as the "Pearl Prince," was ruined by a magistrate who rigged a pearl gambling scheme, forcing him into bankruptcy and reducing him to a manipulated puppet controlled by pearl price-fixers.
He met a tragic end as a scapegoat. After death, Li Ling was reborn just before his downfall and awakened the supernatural ability to see through and sense pearls within shells. Combining memories from his previous life, he dominated pearl gambling with unstoppable success, embarking on a path of high-stakes revenge and fulfilling a legendary mission to recover the pearls by imperial decree.
