Romance Stories

She told herself thirty-eight was too old for plum blossoms and beginnings and a young scholar who chose Zhuangzi on purpose. She was wrong about all of it. Ink and Longing — a Joseon love story about philosophy, patience, and one spectacularly unfiltered sister who was right about everything from the beginning.
