Synopsis

King of Gamblers, Yan Kun and King of Deception, Long Tingguang, both set their eyes on Coral Island - an undeveloped empty island- for their future casino landmark. Through underhanded methods, Tingguang wins the gambling match with Yan Kun and thus acquires the rights to the island. Yan Kun is then forced to blind his own eyes, while his wife is made to commit suicide, leaving Yan's five-year-old son an orphan.

18 years later, Yan's son has grown up as Lin Jianfei. His happy-go-lucky attitude is a cover for his ultimate goal: to avenge his parents' misfortunes. His gambling skills draws the attention of Tingguang's enemy, Qiu Huaifeng. She hires Jianfei to work for her family's casino and Jianfei uses this opportunity to perfect his gambling skills.

Later, Jianfei and his friend, Xiangnan, are mistakenly arrested for illegal gambling by policewoman, Luo Qifang. Qifang and her sister, Wenxin, both turn out to be Jianfei's neighbour. Over time, the bickering pair become romantically involved, and Jianfei reveals his true identity as Yan Fei, the only son of the King of Gamblers.

Just as the young couple's relationship blooms, Qifang discovers that she is actually Long Jiajia - the long lost daughter and the only surviving child of Long Tingguang, Yan Fei's arch enemy.
