In the Yunding Palace, the players are sitting opposite each other holding chess, and the chessboard has cause and effect as the pieces.
Looking at the vicissitudes of life, choose one person's destiny to play with for fun.
This is the biggest joke fate has played on Lillian.
*
For the first time, fate deceived me with age.
Destiny cheated me a second time with sex.
Fate deceived me for the third time, with strength and weakness.
In the end, fate refuses to hide itself and appears in its condescending self.
"I want to tell fate that everything you impose on me cannot be counted as fate. I want to ride on the head of fate as a weakling. Even if my nose is bruised and my face is swollen, I will still raise my middle finger and smile in defiance."
If this is a showdown between the weak and the strong, if this is a game of experience, if this is a recreational viewing, even if I have failed ninety-nine times, one victory in my life is enough.

"Destiny has fooled me and played tricks on me in every possible way. How should I respond?"
"I can't answer your confusion. You have to go your own way, Lillian."
Mission: Life is endless and struggle is endless.
