A sealed past in the chess world, a young man's path to breaking the game with his spirituality.
Tian Lingsi, a fifteen-year-old Go boy, defeated a mysterious master on the Internet with his ground-breaking "blind chess" move, and unexpectedly entered the top Go dojo. He thought this was the palace of his chess dream, but he didn't know that he had stepped into a carefully woven web.
In the dojo, the jealousy and suppression of the talented senior brother followed him closely; on the field, the invisible black hand repeatedly pushed him to desperate situations. A fragment of music left by his grandfather, "Lingji Pu", which recorded "irrational moves", became evidence of "crooked ways" in the eyes of others, but also led him to glimpse a buried truth - his grandfather, who was known as a "chess fanatic" at that time, was defeated by the "inner demon chess" played by Lu Jiuyuan, the leader of the current chess world, and died in depression.
Within the chess game, there is a battle between spiritual masters and absolute accuracy; outside the chess game, there is a shocking conspiracy of the ancient organization "Tian Yuanhui" to control the chess fortunes. When the chessboard turns into a Shura field, the sound of falling pieces is the clash of swords. Tian Lingsi gradually realized that what he faced was not only an opponent on the field, but also a huge force trying to stifle all "uncertainty" and "creativity".
He must learn how to turn his soul into the light of dawn under heavy pressure. In this chess game where fate is the bet, every move he makes not only vindicates his grandfather's name, but also helps thousands of chess players who are bound by "rules" to regain the original vitality of Go.
