What a Surprise! The Disabled God of War’s Beloved Is a Genius Ink Maker

Su Mowan, a young woman with ancient divine blood whose ink could soothe the soul and calm the mind, went into hiding in the capital and opened a small ink shop to escape the enemies coveting her bloodline. By chance, her ink came into the possession of Xiao Jue, a former god of war and grand commander left disabled in both legs and tormented by postwar trauma. Xiao Jue discovered that the ink helped him sleep peacefully, and from then on he made himself a fixture at the little shop and its owner's side.

Su Mowan only wanted to make a steady living, unaware that she had become entangled in the turmoil of court politics. Xiao Jue seemed down on his luck, but in truth he commanded old allies and wielded immense power. While enjoying the healing comfort Su Mowan brought him, he quietly cleared every obstacle in her path, from unscrupulous competitors who bullied their way through the trade to troublesome noblewomen and the enemies who came to hunt her down.

Under Xiao Jue's devoted affection and protection, Su Mowan gradually opened her heart. As they joined forces against their common enemies, the very same corrupt court officials responsible for Xiao Jue's disability and the hunt for Su Mowan, their feelings grew rapidly. Su Mowan used her “divine-blood ink” to pull off one clever move after another, helping Xiao Jue expose a spy and overcome one crisis after another. In the final battle, she even used a painting to form a magical array and turn the tide. In the end, the conspiracy was crushed, and Xiao Jue's old injuries miraculously improved thanks to Su Mowan's careful treatment. He gave up the chance to return to his former glory and chose to retire with the one he loved, living a blissful life together.
