Ronghua having this sudden change is weird... the sage she is following is weird too - especially acting all "pure" and high up there rejecting the gold but didnt he used his influence for the result?! Hmmmmm both of them give me that really unsettling feel. Will she eventually betray FL? I really hope no🫣
tomorrow epsiodes the aunt is at it again. Death is too much a mercy at this point. I just want her to know who killed her husband while being outcasted by the family, living on the streets hungry, begging heading to exile. Leaving for a foreigner land with no family, no money, no clothes, no wealth no nothing. Just her lowly pathetic self. So she can see if she hadn’t done all of this. She too could’ve continue living in wealth and glory. Had a family etc. But no she chose to scheme against the family all because she blames Li eight branch because she was believed they were in the wrong. Even if they were the family has paid it back in blood and more. She’s still unhappy. She could’ve focus all that angry and energy on making the clan better yet she’s still vengeful. She better not be forgiven nor get away with any of it. One thing I hope Yang Zi character don’t do in this drama is forgive she does that too much and it’s annoying sometimes. I need to see her be merciless and not forgive no one who crossses her.
by fandoms yes but fans of other actresses and actors who don’t like yang Zi. this drama is doing well in China. douban is predicted now around 7.5 to 8.0 it was predicted lower 6.1 due to day one with only four episodes malicious 1.0 stars flooded it. It got called out in China by a lot of people. Someone mentioned “Every time yang Zi does a drama. Her antics seem to come out more so to destroy her success rather than uplift their favorites.” not sure who the faves are but looking back at how they trying to do what they did on Born to be alive which that drama has 8 magonlia awards noms. Yang Zi her fourth magonlia nom and douban score just increased to 8.4 I guess you can say they didn’t do anything but made more people tune in. 😫 which is kinda what they’re doing with the heir. it’s already certified S+ and sits in IQYI Hall of fame drama list. 0.5 billion views etc. MDL needs to tighten up but they’re not going to. In last we just try to ignore it and hope everyone rate fairly what they think this drama deserves.
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.
