The ultimate showdown of the World Chess Championship begins between the cold and taciturn Chinese master Shen Mo and the agile and fiery Russian champion Anna Ivanova. In the decisive game, Shen Mo's troops approached the city, and Anna made a desperate move. The moment his fingertips touched the "King", a bright light swallowed up the world.
When the two woke up, they were on the other side of the Chu River and Han Dynasty - a fantasy world built by the rules of chess: soldiers are loyal warriors, chariots and horses are galloping beasts, and artillery fire relies on the power of mountains and rivers. They are no longer chess players, but are involved in the core of the chess game. They must follow the ancient laws of this world and use real wisdom and courage to "checkmate" the opponent's king in order to find their way back.
In this chess world, Shen Mo and Anna changed from rivals who were wary of each other to companions sharing life and death. Together, they solved the riddles of the chess game and faced the overt and covert attacks of the forces. In fighting side by side, they gained insight into each other's softness and sincerity beneath each other's cold or proud appearance. When the final test came, they discovered that the key to return was not to conquer the other party, but to resonate with the soul and trust without regrets.
Returning to the real world, the last piece on the chessboard has not yet fallen. Shen Mo stared at Anna and made a move that shocked referees and audiences around the world - he gently pushed his "handsome" to complete the draw. Amid everyone's shock and confusion, he walked towards Anna and said the words deep in his heart: "I want to win you more than win the world." The chess game is over, but their story has just begun.
