she is hard to understand 😞.. no one normal, will harm the business of one's own family, no matter how much…
still i don't remember her being part of the same family TIAN ... and from the begining she is portrayed like an ambitious one trying to push her husband in front of others
I’ve been fast forwarding all the scenes with the evil aunt. My old age cannot handle it.
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

Woah! Thanks a lot for the info, I was pretty sure it was a real thing, given how detailed they made this drama, but the explanation helped a lot in understanding the special properties of the inkstone.
I was curious about medicinal ink so I asked Google. Here it is according to Google:
Yes, medicinal ink is entirely real and was a legitimate part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) during ancient times. Known as Yao Mo (药墨), it is not a narrative invention of the C-drama The Heir (家业); rather, it was a highly specialized item heavily utilized during the Ming Dynasty, the exact period in which the show is set.
How Medicinal Ink Actually Worked: Traditional Chinese inksticks were made by mixing carbon soot (primarily from burned pine logs or oil) with animal hide glue to bind it into a solid form. Because carbon soot naturally absorbs impurities and hide glue has mild hemostatic (blood-stopping) properties, even standard ink was sometimes used in medical emergencies.
However, true medicinal ink took this process to an extreme level by infusing the formula with actual herbs and minerals.
The Ingredients: Ink masters added precious, therapeutic substances into the soot and glue mixture. These included pearl powder, musk, borneol, camphor, and gold leaf, alongside specific Chinese herbs like Panax notoginseng.
The Labor: Normal high-quality ink required the mixture to be pounded around 100,000 times to achieve a smooth consistency. Historical records note that top-tier medicinal ink recipes required it to be crushed and kneaded up to 300,000 times to guarantee the particles were fine enough to dissolve perfectly.
The Multi-Purpose Use: Scholars could write or paint with it, but doctors would grind the inkstick on an inkstone using warm water, rice wine, or herbal teas instead of plain water.
Flourished Peony was more interesting to me (but I didn't really like part 2 In the Name of Blossom). We're only about halfway done with this one, so it's too early to say how the 2nd half of the story will develop.
today’s epsiodes were truly good and the previews for tomorrow screams more angst and drama. Loving this drama. I can’t wait to see Li Zhen turn the ties and Luo Wen/ Qi Qian pay back the Tian family 1000 ways of blood feud.
If you're ok to watch no romance as of now you can really give a try. I really like it ...... The concept is different and ink making is something very new to c drama for me
