The King's Avatar all-Ye Xiu ship fanfiction. A lighthearted little story about Ye Xiu resigning from office to retire in seclusion, taking on disciples, and playing Go, with tea-time-style factional squabbles. It contains plenty of the author's subjective assumptions, out-of-character characters, serious plot logic flaws, an amateur's inadequate knowledge of Go, an amateur's inadequate knowledge of metaphysics, and a mix of classical and modern language. Please forgive the author's inner voices arguing with each other.
