Bai Muzi only wanted to quietly take over her father's business and sell fans, but one bad review landed her in trouble with Gu Chen, a sharp-tongued man down on his luck.
He had a bird's nest on his head, a tongue as sharp as a knife, and was a "Taobao artist" with a warped sense of aesthetics.
She never expected him to be the last disciple of a master of Chinese painting, or to be at daggers drawn with his elegant, refined senior brother, Qin Sesheng.
A devastating fire burned down her studio and brought to light a scandal in the art world that had been buried for seven years:
The genius senior sister Chi Yuan had fallen to her death from the North Cliff, and there were many unanswered questions surrounding her masterpiece, Moonlight White.
Was her gentle, refined senior brother a true gentleman or a hypocritical demon?
Content warning: I mainly wrote this to fill in a plot hole. It was written several years ago, so there's very little romance and it's mostly plot. The characterization has some problems, and maybe I'll rewrite the story someday.
Theme: Harmony, freedom, prosperity, health, democracy, and equality.
