Lin Wanxing concealed her extraordinary talent for traditional Chinese painting and endured years of a miserable marriage. Her husband, Chen Kai, conspired with an outsider, Liu Qianqian, to steal her paintings and win an award with them, then transfer their marital assets out of her reach.
The day she confronted them, she presented all the evidence and filed for divorce. Just as her ex-husband’s family panicked, staff from the National Museum arrived with an invitation for her to be the featured guest at an intangible cultural heritage painting and calligraphy exhibition. A master of the art world had even personally issued a letter recognizing her as his apprentice.
Those who once looked down on her were filled with regret, and the thief who stole her work could no longer hide. With a wolf-hair brush and an inkstone, Lin Wanxing wielded her art as a blade, tearing apart the falsehoods of her old life and carving out her own dazzling path in the world of traditional painting and calligraphy. No love-struck heroine, just a clear-headed comeback from start to finish, with nonstop face-slapping and a satisfying story steeped in Chinese artistic tradition.
