Masked Chess Game

share time: 2026-03-05 00:34:28

Lin Chuan, an ordinary programmer, accidentally receives a chess set carved with ancient patterns, only to discover that every move he makes triggers bizarre changes in reality—when he saves the stranded girl Su Wan, the 'Shi' (scholar) piece falls automatically; when he stands up to a workplace bully, the 'Che' (chariot) piece crashes into the bully’s car for him. Just as he realizes he’s caught in a 'masked chess game that controls fate,' the behind-the-scenes 'Chess Masters' organization closes in—they want to use everyone in the world as pieces to rewrite the rules of the world. While unraveling the truth about his father’s disappearance (his father was once a 'Game Breaker' who resisted the 'Chess Masters'), Lin Chuan fights alongside Su Wan with passion and wisdom to break free from the chess game’s constraints: every move is a bet on life and death, every game is a battle between good and evil. What he wants to do is not 'play the game,' but 'smash the chessboard'!
