The War of the Thousand Kings

Since his sudden emergence, Lin Jiattai has been envied and persecuted by the industry. He was imprisoned for three years, then released due to good behavior, only to find that his wife had left him and his mother was scattered... In 1996, Hong Kong, Kowloon. In prison, the prison boss Lao Jiu, confident in his excellent gambling skills, didn't take the prisoner Atai seriously. He not only lost all his possessions but also a leg. Lao Jiu was enraged and was about to beat Atai severely when he received a call from a big boss, asking him not to touch Atai and to obey him in everything, otherwise, there would be unpredictable consequences. Atai demanded Lao Jiu's leg in three days, and Lao Jiu was on pins and needles. However, when the day came to hand over the leg, he learned that Atai had been released early. Atai returned to his home in the slum immediately after his release, only to find that his wife, Xiaoying, had left him and hooked up with the wealthy Wei Shao. She shamelessly came to seize the property and demanded a divorce. Lin Jiattai signed the divorce agreement and handed over the property to Xiaoying. Afterward, he purchased new property with the huge wealth he earned in the casino that year. After everything was settled, he officially began his revenge plan, wanting to find the opponent who had framed him and caused him to be imprisoned. He achieved consecutive victories in Kang Shao's casino, which drew criticism from gangsters. Kang Shao saw Lin Jiattai's astonishing performance on surveillance and helped him out of his predicament. He took him under his wing and made him his assistant. Lin Jiattai intervened multiple times in important gambling games, saving Kang Shao from danger and gaining more and more of Kang Shao's trust. Soon after, Kang Gangsheng, Kang Shao's father – an important figure who had persecuted Lin Jiattai back then – realized the danger of Lin Jiattai. But it was too late. With Lin Jiattai's help, Kang Shao won a huge amount of money and became unstoppable, but he accidentally fell into the trap carefully set by Lin Jiattai. The cheating incident was unexpectedly exposed, and he not only lost all his family fortune but also lost one arm. Kang Gangsheng immediately sent people to find Lin Jiattai, but Lin Jiattai's whereabouts were no longer seen. To avoid the limelight, Lin Jiattai returned to the bottom of society, still becoming an undefeated general in big and small gambling games. He was a chivalrous and loyal man, never flattering the powerful, and often extending a helping hand to his poor brothers. During this period, Lin Jiattai met Meng Meng. Meng Meng's parents thought he was an idler and initially despised him greatly. But Lin Jiattai proved himself with his extraordinary financial resources and abilities, convincing Meng Meng's parents and agreeing to their union. At the same time, his enemies had learned Lin Jiattai's true identity: he was the "Green Python" who shook Hong Kong ten years ago with his divine gambling skills. Kang Gangsheng was forced to flee to Thailand because his past crimes were exposed. Lin Jiattai became much freer. "Sister Miao" invited Lin Jiattai to play at her newly opened casino. Lin Jiattai knew that "Sister Miao" was one of his opponents who had harmed him back then, and that this was a pre-arranged setup, but he still went bravely. Tracy, "Sister Miao's" goddaughter, was the real owner behind the casino, determined to become the new Queen of Gamblers. To achieve this goal, the most direct and effective way was to defeat the current King of Gamblers with the best gambling skills. And Lin Jiattai was currently in the limelight, suitable to be this stepping stone. Therefore, they deliberately publicized this competition, wanting to become famous in one battle. Lin Jiattai deliberately lost ground in gambling. "Sister Miao" and Tracy were overjoyed and called many media friends, violating the rules of the underworld by privately revealing Lin Jiattai's true identity – the "Green Python." The most crucial match began, and Lin Jiattai suddenly displayed his divine power, winning repeatedly, causing Tracy to lose face completely. To turn the tide, Tracy did not hesitate to poison a drink, but the experienced Lin Jiattai refused to fall for it, instead turning the tables. Tracy got a once-in-a-century good hand and gambled her entire casino, and Lin Jiattai won again. Tracy went back on her word and simply had her subordinates control Lin Jiattai. Lin Jiattai showed no fear, instead exposing Tracy's cheating. Tracy, whose dream of being the "Queen of Gamblers" was shattered, was about to personally finish off Lin Jiattai. At this moment, the big boss who had been secretly helping the "Green Python" suddenly appeared. He was Tracy's master – the long-retired former "Gambling Saint" – Wei Zhaomin. Wei Zhaomin, like all top masters, was competitive and eager to win. The reason he had secretly helped Lin Jiattai out of danger multiple times was to preserve the opportunity to compete with him. This time, letting Tracy directly confront Lin Jiattai was actually to test his true strength. Now, Wei Zhaomin believed the time was ripe. The ultimate decisive battle between the two officially began. Wei Zhaomin's performance was breathtaking. Lin Jiattai realized that he had met his strongest opponent. Lin Jiattai temporarily lost hope. But with Meng Meng's encouragement, he did not give up. The "Green Python" finally achieved victory when on the verge of despair. Wei Zhaomin kept his promise, asking the big bosses to wipe out all past grievances and acknowledge the "Green Python" as the current King of Gamblers. But Lin Jiattai had long seen through the world and was tired of the deceit in the casino. He retired from the world with Meng Meng and lived a happy life free from worldly disputes.
