Chen Banxian, the unrivaled retired old man at the chess stall in the park, his true identity is the last descendant of the chess sect three hundred years ago. On the surface, they look at chess, but in reality, they use chess formations to suppress wandering spirits. One day, a group of mysterious people broke into his chess stall and invited him to play chess using the life span of a living person as a bargaining chip. Chen Banxian accepted the challenge, only to find that the opponent was a greedy necromancer who secretly drained citizens' lifespans for evil experiments in the name of "soul chess player".
In a chess game, human lives are at stake. The moment a piece is placed on the chessboard, someone will die suddenly and mysteriously in the real world. Chen Banxian relied on his superb chess skills to see through every move of his opponent. During the chess game, he even glimpsed the greater conspiracy behind the Necromancer - they wanted to use the entire city's population as sacrifices to awaken the evil god who had been sleeping for thousands of years.
Chen Banxian, who did not want to expose his identity, was forced to regain his master's trump card and fight against the dark forces on his own. The chess game is the battlefield, and the moves are like killing people. Can an old man who can see through people's hearts save tens of millions of lives on a small chessboard?
