South Life, Northern Stone

Some people fall in love at first sight and stay devoted until death, while others can't stand each other from the very first glance. -- Nansheng, why do you dislike Li Beishi so much? -- Because he's so serious all the time. It's annoying. -- Xiao Bei, why do you always look down on Wu Nansheng? -- Because he's frivolous and never takes his work seriously. This is the story of an unconventional, headstrong prodigy who unexpectedly crosses paths with an ordinary young man whose brilliance has yet to show. Before you dive in: 1. There are couples, but romance isn't the focus, so this is categorized as no CP. 2. There are two male protagonists, but this isn't BL. Feel free to imagine what you like, but don't push it too hard →_→ 3. The culture of Chinese Go is profound and extensive. There are a hundred paths to the game, and even top players know only seven. If you're a Go professional, please don't read this story or you'll laugh. I really, really tried my best to research the subject. My respects! 4. Thanks to the netizen @Sheng Yanyan for generously providing the anime-style character illustrations.
