Originally titled She Plays Go for Brutal, Total Slaughter. The site wouldn't allow violence, so I changed it. “Total slaughter” is a Go term.
The story is complete and has been carefully revised. It differs considerably from pirated copies. Thank you for supporting the official version.

[Blurb]
Go is a narrow path, especially difficult for women.
From learning the basics to earning professional rank, aspiring players face countless hurdles, and female players who lack talent or perseverance are turned away at every step.
Ting Jianqiu left the game for thirteen years.
Now she's fought her way back.
An unfamiliar woman's face has appeared on the Go scene.
She always wears dark clothes, black or gray. She keeps to herself. Her narrow, upturned fox eyes are bright, and her face is frighteningly pale.
She rarely shows emotion, except when she plays Go, when she smiles.
But if you're her opponent, you'd better quietly pray she doesn't smile.
Thirteen years ago, Ting Jianqiu and Xie Yanzhi met across the Go board.
Thirteen years later, after a long separation, they meet again as worthy opponents and kindred spirits.
Go players are experts at keeping their feelings hidden, even as love soars like a kite.
Fierce, stubborn firecracker X Upright gentleman
Friends to lovers / First love for both / Made for each other
[Short scene] *A little sample of their dynamic. This scene doesn't appear in the main story.*
In the National Go Championship, ninth-dan Ting Jianqiu makes it to the final, where she faces the defending champion, ninth-dan Xie Yanzhi.
The whole country is abuzz, eagerly anticipating the birth of China's first female national champion.
Before the match, the host asks the players to trade a few fighting words.
Ninth-dan Ting Jianqiu: Whoever loses has to do the dishes.
Host: ?
Ninth-dan Xie Yanzhi: I don't agree.
Ninth-dan Xie Yanzhi: I'll do the dishes either way.
Host: ???
[Before You Read]
1. [Fictional setting] A fictional modern setting with no real-life models. Please don't mention any real Go players in the comments.
2. [Not a power fantasy] This is a coming-of-age story, not a wish-fulfillment fantasy. The heroine will lose games, and those losses will leave her depressed and downcast. It's an ensemble cast, and the heroine isn't the only one who gets to shine.
3. [Romance] The ratio of plot to romance is 6:4, so there's quite a bit of romance. The story includes male characters with complete character arcs and storylines.
Please read the warnings before starting. If the story isn't to your taste, I hope you find something you enjoy. Happy reading, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
The author's note in Chapter One has more detailed warnings.
Upcoming novel: I'm Just a Helpless Woman Whose Husband Died
Sunny, cheerful airhead X Sobbing schemer
[Blurb]
He Wei Xiao has always believed he spent his life standing up to bullies, defending the righteous path, and doing good deeds, living up to his title as leader of the martial world. As he lies dying on the frozen wastes, the only thing he can't let go of is his wife, Dai Han, waiting for him to come home.
Though Hanhan comes from the Southern Evil Lands, she's kindhearted, gentle, and timid. She hardly ever raises her voice, not even when haggling over groceries. When someone bullies her, she doesn't dare fight back. She only comes home, holds on to his sleeve, and lowers her eyes with a little whimper, like a puppy.
He doesn't know how his frail wife will survive alone in this cruel world after his death, facing the enemies he made in the martial world all by herself.
That's why on the first day He Wei Xiao comes back to life in another person's body, he grabs his sword, mounts his horse, and rides day and night to get home.
On the way, he hears that after he died, his wife returned to the endless frozen wastes and brought his body home, her eyes red from crying.
He also hears that when the Cult of the Moon's Invasion learns of his death, its followers gather and go after Dai Han, now a widow, to take revenge.
Before he can finish half a day of anxious, frantic riding, he hears that He Wei Xiao isn't dead after all, and has beaten everyone who came looking for trouble.
He Wei Xiao is stunned.
When he finally gets home, he sees through the half-open door, scarred with knife and axe marks, his wife bent over his corpse and crying. The corpse's eyes are blank, its big hand mechanically stroking the top of her head as if to comfort her.
He Wei Xiao suddenly understands:
Hanhan has turned his corpse into a puppet to protect herself.
Hanhan is so clever.
Just as he's about to push the door open, he hears his wife suddenly sniff hard, straighten her slender back, and grind out the words with undisguised malice:
“He Wei Xiao, go and bean-paste them for me!”
“Bean!! Paste them!!!”
He Wei Xiao: ...?
He Wei Xiao: Honey, don't be like that. You're scaring me.
Theme: Chase your dreams with passion, and know that you don't walk the path alone.
After reading the article for the first time, I left a comment in Jinjiang. I read the author's two novels in one go in two or three days. I have forgotten that I just wanted to read some simple novels for entertainment. I feel like opening a convenience store sandwich and discovering that the name of a Michelin five-star chef is signed in the package.
The plot is compact and attractive, and the character settings are complex and full. The most amazing thing is the author's progressive thinking and his ability to let his thoughts flow like water in his writing.
I always have the habit of being critical when reading, although it is only in my heart, and I am embarrassed and dare not send negative comments in written form. Especially when it comes to gender issues, it seems that I suddenly have the ability of the Princess and the Pea, unable to pretend that the annoying pea under dozens of mattresses does not exist. There are too many articles that promote female protagonists under the banner of strong women, but in the end, as the author joked in the article, "the female protagonist is always a little weaker than the male protagonist, and can help the male protagonist without stealing his limelight." There are also too many male protagonists and writers behind the male protagonist who think that it is difficult for the heroine to give birth, but in the end without even discussing it, they just give the next generation their own surname.
It's not that a work with such a plot is useless. Flaws will never be hidden. But we certainly have the right to pursue works that handle this aspect equally well.
The two recent novels in the author column are rare works that I have read without peas in them. When reading The Madwoman in the Attic, it's hard not to smile, to celebrate that all Bertha has been fished out of so-called happiness again, to celebrate that her swinging torch will burn forever in the moment of awakening.
And people who realize this are always prone to anger. Just like some people and some passages in the work, anger rises when reading. The author calmly restrained his anger and did not turn his thoughts into sermons and pour them out regardless, thereby destroying the overall literary nature of the work. Instead, he used the protagonist's choice and behavior to penetrate his own opinions like spring breeze and rain. It's really amazing. Very touched.
Although the villain is mentioned in such commemorative words, it feels like the white pages are stained with oil. But I couldn't help it. The gloomy and terrifying night of the Yuan family was so well written... My father is a thousand times better person than Yuan Xiu Ming. This also makes me feel that it is very inappropriate and very embarrassing to compare them together at this moment. But I did it anyway. I couldn't help but see the dark side of my father in Yuan Xiuming's characters, his habit of belittling and controlling my mother and me, and all the moments in my childhood when my family was not good enough, as well as those cowardice and indifference. That was the chapter that had the greatest emotional turmoil for me, and it was also the chapter that I found most incredible.
Thank you to the author for firmly carving out a path for his characters to escape in the literary world. Just like every path in the real world, it may be sharp or tempting, but it is still the same brave breakthrough and awakening.
I especially hope that this world can change for the better. I hope there will always be a corner of idealists surviving. And there are always people who are not satisfied with this corner and constantly take steps to explore outside.
I wish Jianqiu, her family and friends a bright and open future.
I wish the author feels inspired when writing, always writes new things, and lives a smooth life.
*Finally, I would like to make a little wish, can I still read the new sub-CP extras... This is what readers who clicked on the novel for the main cp's emotional line and finally fell in love with the main cp's career line and the sub-CP's emotional line said.
I read it in one sitting, I really enjoyed it.
To put it simply, I really like this kind of story where the heroine is gifted and goes through hardships (or not) to get to the top. But I don't want to call this story a "cool article" for female channels, because compared to the control group of male channels, this story seems to have richer and more three-dimensional characters, and more delicate and beautiful emotions. Even though it still portrays an utopia, I couldn't help but shed tears when Xie Ying finally figured out the truth for her friends after many years.
The author is really good at telling stories and shaping characters. Each character has their own growth line and their own life trajectory. I rarely have the urge to comment. Maybe I have to rely on a little emotion after reading the story before I can write.
Jian Qiu, it's really my fault that I only met you today. You are so good. You are sharp and sober. You will always walk on your own path and never regret. I hope that I can be you, and I hope that countless girls can also be you. But Jian Qiu, you are you, and after reading your story, we may try to be ourselves.
The Utopia is far away, but the world is so big that it can still accommodate the determination and ambition of many girls, and allow them to find their own lives.
Because there are people like Ting Jianqiu here
So well written, I really admire it
It's very touching. It's rare to see articles in Jinjiang that are written with both intention and emotion in mind. I love group portraits.
After reading this, I don't know much about Go, but probably the style of chess can reveal the character, and the author's character and sincerity can also be seen in the text. It is a well-written story, a very regretful but heartfelt story. As an old reader, I cried several times during the reading process. This is only the author's first book, which shows the author's talent and ability. However, in my opinion, I may still be dissatisfied with it, that is, this book portrays the male protagonist and Qiu Jiaming too much. It may be better if this writing power is given to the female protagonist and other female characters. Anyway thank you to the author.
It's really well written. It's great. How come such a good article has not been discovered? [Crying] [Crying] [Crying] [Crying] [Crying] Yun Duoda's writing style and character concepts are very good! ! Special thanks to Da Da for making such a niche and delicious meal, it deserves to be seen by more people! ! ! !
It's so pretty, it's so pretty, it's so pretty, it's so pretty, it's so pretty, it's already wet the pillow from crying.
Great, the sun was shining outside the window when I finished reading. It was great. Ting Jianqiu, Xie Yanzhi, Xiaoyan, Laoqiu, Yang Huizi, Xiaocong and the others, those lovely friends who love Go and live seriously in the story, as well as the superb author Chewing Clouds, were all happy, safe and joyful! Thank you for accompanying me in this story (bend over) (spread flowers)?
