Set in Ming Dynasty China, where tradition forbids women from mastering the art of chess, one young woman dares to defy the rules that bind her.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.
