😉u to a treasure ❣️

mainly, it was a story about a female ink maker, who loved twice but never married, and she retired unmarried, to write instruction books about ink making....sad ending for me, and no tribute to ink at all, although on the way, they did explain ink production....YouTube has some better ancient ink tutorials, without making it feel sad or bloody....🤨that cdrama didn't make me feel appreciative towards ink makers, but sad

so she is Tian Benchang's 3rd aunt...this family has some inferiority complex, instead of learning how to be honest and happy, they aim to make life difficult for others....

she is hard to understand 😞.. no one normal, will harm the business of one's own family, no matter how much grudge may one have against one family member 😉 it's like cutting one's own leg piece by piece.... that's what this strange lady is doing🤯 unless she has some backup plans, like... she hopes that she can return to her original family with honours, after she succeeded in destroying Li's

a rare, lovely series, with a satisfying happy end 🌿🕊️🌿.... first part is a good comedy, second part gets a little serious, but all ends well🌿🕊️🌿 there are some annoying scenes with mostly female characters, I found them too noisy and screaming, but those scenes are few and can easily be skipped ❤️ enjoy ❤️

of course 😀Wikipedia has it, many merchants used helix Silk Road for millennia😀and sea voyages were frequent, even before Portuguese discovered what's on the other side of the globe 🌎

or Miao..Wikipedia has a history of ginger hair, in China...

yeah...her unforgiving grudge towards 8th branch runs deep, coupled with her ambition to control Li clan business....it takes her right reasoning away, she even tried to influence her drunken brother-in-law, to become a bandit🤣🤣🤣drunk as he was, he refused to be a bandit🤣she'll find someone else maybe 😉 but who, since she destroyed one ally she had, they nearly chopped his hands😣

🤣the ink with medicine in it, sells better....a boost for ancient ink industry 🤣a scholar had 2 in1 package

me too🤣she is running the clan and Li ink Industry, yet FL is reprimanded on account of her gender🙄...cdramas intellectual loopholes, i suppose......just close one eye 😉

it did look like a further split of the 8th branch, with Mom and daughter left to manage on their own.....if it is,what it looks, than grandpa has had enough ...

ah well, they are patriarchal, not democratic 😂....LiZhen is different, she learned from her grandpa's silent suffering, and is fighting for her own future 😘

right 😂 that's what i thought...too much people pleasing and disaster is brewing 😬

ok😀i marked WB ,will give it a go....ty

a blast it is🤣🤣 hopefully it'll remain that way.....cdramas tend to get overly twisted towards the end....

Li 7th grandma might be too 'conciliatory', that is, she wants LiZhen and she wants to please the party who oppose LiZhen, but that other party is vicious.....there should be no tolerating such visciousness within a family 😑so, this old granny might just be too weak with age😔no energy to root out the evil, which has grown within Li clan

yeah ❤️amazing drama

oh, really?...so he 'left' in order to help her ?😂 that's great news, i was beginning to feel sad, that he just took off

the 8th branch is just too intelligent, so some envious persons within the same family, would rather destroy them and suffer from mediocrity, then appreciate their contribution.......🤨

she is Tian, but it isn't yet clear, what degree of a relative, if any- she is to Tians who live in old Luo house
