He lost every battle, but the names of those "soldiers crossing the river" were remembered by history. In the first year of Duanping, the Jin Dynasty perished, and Mongolia and Song Dynasty directly bordered it. Professional chess player Shen Yihun traveled across Lin'an's death row, and his only ability is Go thinking - deconstructing the world into a chess game, with all parties' forces as chess pieces, and their interests as the chess path. He escaped from death row and was involved in the anti-Yuan rebel army. He and the passionate knight Nie Yunzheng went from mutual distrust to life and death. He played chess with Privy Council spy Zhao Muxue and played a game with Mongolian army strategist Yelu Chucai from a distance. After fifteen years of playing chess, he went from being a pawn who "just wanted to survive" to being pushed to the center of the chessboard step by step. He lost Xiangyang, lost Jiangling, and lost every battle he wanted to win. But he ensured that the names of those "soldiers crossing the river" would not be forgotten by history. Although he knew that the Southern Song Dynasty would eventually fall, he said: "On the chessboard, you have no regrets about your moves. If you lose, at least you can't forget the names of the chess pieces."
