Ink Runs Dry, Longing Pierces the Bone

Pei Mo, a suspicious and calculating marquis, x Lin Jinye, a sensitive and long-suffering wife

It begins with a marriage contract, grows through quiet devotion, and ends with them both falling completely in love.

Pei Mo is deeply calculating and used to manipulating people's hearts, yet he doubts himself for falling in love and fears that affection will become a weakness.

Lin Jinye is quiet and cool. She married him only to borrow his influence and escape the favoritism and ill treatment of her family. She is not good with words, but she is resilient and unafraid of life's storms.

The two are first bound together by mutual interest. Amid testing each other and keeping their distance, they slowly let down their guard and shed their calculations. In a world of practical trade-offs, sincere and profound love takes root.
