The video is a personal story of a young girl named Leah who is passionate about chess. She shares her experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family, where she is often overlooked and undervalued. Her mother, who is obsessed with money and fame, uses her chess skills to make money and gain recognition.
Leah's mother films her playing chess with a blind man and edits the footage to make it look like the blind man is the professional. They upload the video to YouTube, creating a fake chess channel. This leads to Leah becoming a YouTube sensation, but she is unhappy with the situation and feels used.
When Leah wins a scholarship to study in China, her mother tries to prevent her from leaving, fearing that she will abandon her. However, Leah stands her ground and leaves for China. Upon her return, she reveals that she has been accepted into medical school and plans to donate all the money she earned from chess to charity.
The video ends with Leah stating that she is now a medical student, living her best life and helping others. She also mentions that the blind man is her best friend. The narrator, who initially seemed to be the same person as Leah, reveals that they are not the same person and that they didn't watch the whole video.
