In a future where quantum computing dominates the chess world, a down-and-out chess player accidentally awakens his thousand-year chess soul, turns his son into a sword, and changes his destiny against the will of heaven!
New Chang'an City, 2165. Chess has long been completely analyzed by quantum algorithms and has become a gambling game controlled by technology giants. The traditional way of chess is in decline. Professional chess players rely on brain-computer chips to predict winning rates, and real chess skills have become the dust of history.
**Ye Chi**, an underground chess player who sticks to wooden chessboards, is poor but obsessed with the study of ancient records. In an accidental game, he was hit between the eyebrows by a mysterious old man with a Warring States bronze "Jiang" chess piece. In a coma, he witnessed the evolution of chess over two thousand years - from Liubo in the Spring and Autumn Period to Pingchang in the Tang and Song Dynasties, from "Secret in the Orange" to "Plum Blossom Book", countless chess souls awakened in his sea of consciousness.
After waking up, Ye Lu found that a **spiritual chessboard** had emerged in his consciousness, which could predict the future chess path. What's even more terrifying is that he could control his opponent's thinking and make him fall into the illusion of "chess realm". When he defeated the ninth-level master blessed by quantum computing with his flesh and blood body, the entire chess world was shocked.
However, as the secrets of the bronze chess pieces were gradually revealed, Ye Lu found himself involved in a chess battle that spanned a thousand years.
