Synopsis
In the mid-Ming Dynasty, a tribute ink case shattered the long-standing balance of the Huizhou ink industry, causing the century-old ink-making family, Li Ink, to fall from grace. Severely weakened, Li Ink struggled while the Luo family’s ink business rose to prominence, enjoying unrivaled glory—only to ultimately collapse due to political entanglements, leaving the family in ruins.
As time passed, Li Zhen, the youngest daughter of the eighth branch of the Li clan, embarked on the path of ink-making to sustain her livelihood. With her natural talent and relentless effort, she emerged as a dark horse in the Huizhou ink industry. Meanwhile, Luo Wenqian, the second son of the Luo family, meticulously devised a plan to restore his family’s legacy, single-handedly stirring up the industry’s power dynamics. Together, they engaged in a battle of wits with the rising ink magnate Tian Ink, leading to the resurgence of Li Ink.
With the reopening of maritime trade, Huizhou ink faced new challenges from overseas competitors. Drawing upon the essence of Huizhou ink craftsmanship, Li Zhen created an exceptional ink product, earning Huizhou ink the prestigious title of "The Finest Ink in the World." She and Luo Wenqian ultimately found love, joining hands to preserve and pass down the legacy of Huizhou ink-making for future generations.
