Inkstone Shines Brightly

During the troubled times of the Republic of China, undercurrents surged in the Shanghai Concession. Shen Yanchuan, a concubine from a well-known family, controls the power of his family and warlords, is calm and rational but lonely; Gu Changzhao, a newspaper reporter, the core of the underground intelligence organization, is upright and sensitive, born into a scholarly family, influenced by Western ideas since childhood, and fights for his ideals and his country. The two met for the first time during a conflict. They were enemies, but they became dependent on each other for life and death during an assassination incident, and their love blossomed. Intent: In troubled times, hostility and fetters are intertwined, love and ideals grow between life and death, and only faith and courage illuminate each other's hearts.
