A Heart of Ink Amid the Flames of War

In the chaotic Republic of China era, the times were turbulent and treacherous. Shanghai was awash in extravagance and indulgence.

She, Fu Lingyin, was struck by disaster. Her parents died overnight, leaving her with nowhere to turn. On the surface, she sought refuge at the Li residence, but in truth, she was secretly investigating the cause of her father's death.

He, Li Huaian, was the Li family's only son. Born rebellious and impossible to control, he seemed to outsiders like an incorrigible, carefree young master from a wealthy family. Little did they know that he, too, held ambitions beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

When they met, they pretended to be cousins, though they were not truly related.

From mutual dislike to gradually understanding each other, then falling in love, it all felt like a cruel game played by fate.

But how could she have known that her family's downfall had another cause, and that the mastermind behind it was... Where could their love go from here? Could the grudge spanning generations ever be avenged?

Amid wind and snow, could their love ever find a happy ending?
