In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a tribute ink case broke the long-standing pattern of the Huizhou ink industry, and Li Mo, a century-old ink-making family, fell from the altar. Li Mo was seriously injured, and the Luo family’s ink industry rose. After Li Mo, it was unparalleled in glory, but eventually, it was implicated in the government and ended up in ruin.

As time went by, Li Zhen, the youngest daughter of the eighth room of the Li clan, resolutely embarked on the road of ink-making to solve her livelihood. With her talent and hard work, she became a dark horse in the Huizhou ink industry. Luo Wen Qian, the second son of the Luo family, planned and laid out to restore the family business and stirred up the pattern of the Huizhou ink industry with his own strength.

The two of them fought wits and courage with the new ink industry upstarts Tian Mo family, and Li Mo returned to the peak. The sea ban was reopened, and facing the challenges of the overseas ink industry, Li Zhen gathered the essence of the Huizhou ink industry, made top-level ink products, and won the reputation of “the best ink in the world” for Huizhou ink.
