If I Don't Join the Game, Who Will?

My name is Gu Anzhi, the youngest chess player in Tianji Pavilion. Everyone knows that I am good at reasoning about cause and effect. I entered the game at the age of seventeen and in three years, I controlled six major families. They call me a "ghost teller" and say I can predict everyone's choices. They don't know that my revenge started from the first day I stepped into Tianji Pavilion. Twenty years ago, Tianji Pavilion destroyed my whole family just to seize the treasure that my Gu family has guarded for generations - "The Map of Mountains and Rivers' Fate". That picture has been sealed into Dantian by my father. It allows me to see the real secrets under the mountains and rivers: the direction of dragon veins, the flow of water vapor, and the rhythm of the breathing of the earth. What Tianji Pavilion reads is the "script", but what I read is the world itself. I set up a cause-and-effect chess game in the open, and in the dark I used the art of moving mountains and rivers to move mountains and change roads. When all twelve dragon veins are flowing according to my will, even the person who writes destiny cannot stop me. But I met four people - a frosty Buddhist girl, an unruly young master of the Sword Sect, a lonely man who has been pursuing an old case for ten years, and a child who I raised with my own hands. They pried open my frozen heart bit by bit, making me want to win this game for the first time, not just for revenge, but also for protection. Until I discovered that even my revenge was a script written by someone. But the writer didn't know one thing - the earth never belonged to anyone. At the moment when the script confronts the mountains and rivers, my chess piece fell into the cracks.
