Jin Xiaomei is seventeen when she realises her future has already been decided for her. Raised within the Plum Valley Chess Club, she has absorbed strategy, discipline, and insight

since childhood - yet her father, the club's master, forbids her to play. Chess is a man's world, and tradition is law.

Unwilling to surrender her talent or her independence, Xiaomei disguises herself as a young man and secretly travels between rival chess clubs, testing her skill, sharpening her mind, and earning both admiration and enemies. Each victory brings her closer to the ultimate challenge: the Emperor's Grand Tournament, where the finest players in the dynasty compete

for the title of Grand Master.

Beautifully translated into English.
