Description
In a kingdom where tradition is carved in stone and love is a forbidden inkstroke, what happens when a prince bound by ivory duty falls for a boy who paints with fire? Act I: Chains of Silk and Ink When Crown Prince Lee Min-jae learns he's betrothed to a rebellious commoner-Kim Seo-jun, an artist with paint on his sleeves and defiance in his eyes, his royal life is thrown into chaos. Forced into a union forged by a decades-old promise, two strangers must navigate palace politics, public scrutiny, and the weight of ancient duty. But as sharp words turn into lingering glances, a fragile connection begins to bloom. And watching from the shadows is Min-jae's cousin, Joon-ho - ambitious, charming, and secretly in love with Seo-jun. Ink and Ivory is a sweeping BL romance of palace walls and stolen kisses, of art that defies fate, and of two boys daring to rewrite history-with love as their legacy.
