Go Empress: My Rebellion Against the AI Era

Rui Zhao is China's top Go streamer—but she has a dirty secret: she'd rather play than stream. In an era dominated by AI opponents, this 9-dan prodigy must balance her responsibilities as a game ambassador with her obsession for the board. Her streaming diary tells the real story: endless practice sessions, broken promises to fans, and a relentless pursuit of perfection that no algorithm can match. This is Go without the romance, without the drama—just one woman's war against mediocrity in the most ancient game of strategy.
