The Deer’s Call in Ink

The Color of Ink, the Call of the Deer tells the story of Lin Lu, a mechanical genius, and Shen Mochuan, a business magnate, whose love and hatred span a decade of enmity. Ten years ago, Lin Lu's father died in disgrace after being framed in a suspicious "commercial espionage case." After her family fell into ruin, she took her young son and went into hiding, struggling to make ends meet with a car repair shop while clinging to her determination to clear her father's name.

An accident brings her face-to-face with Shen Mochuan, a man with whom she once shared a brief connection. He is not only the powerful heir to the Shen Group in Haicheng, but also secretly connected to her father's case. Shen Mochuan falls in love at first sight with the resilient, independent Lin Lu, but the shadows of his family's past keep him from approaching her. Lin Lu, meanwhile, is wary of him. As they test each other and struggle against their growing attraction, they gradually discover that the case was far more complicated than they imagined: the schemes of the mastermind Gu Mingyuan, the Shen family's secrets, the disappearance of a key witness... Beneath layer upon layer of mystery, truth and lies intertwine.

They go from clashing at every turn to fighting side by side. In crisis after crisis, Shen Mochuan's devotion and Lin Lu's courage reflect one another, and the wounds of the past become a reason for them to draw closer. When the truth finally comes to light, hatred and love collide. Can they overcome the bonds of their families and the gulf of time? And what kind of bond will the child they have both protected become?

This is a story of redemption and forgiveness, a love song about seeking light in the darkness and finding true love amid old wounds. The clash of mechanical wrenches and tailored suits conceals the fiercest devotion; a decade of enmity intertwined with love at first sight makes for a most moving tale of staying together.
