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.

"My heart has no title, yet it bows to you." Act II: Beneath the Gilded Glare The betrothal was supposed to be a political arrangement, a simple chain binding the Crown Prince to a commoner boy. But for Crown Prince Lee Min-jae and the fiercely independent artist Kim Seo-jun, the lines of duty have blurred into something far more dangerous. A shared project becomes a confession. A public defense becomes a whispered promise. In the silent, lonely corridors of the palace, two worlds are colliding, and the sparks could either illuminate their path or burn the monarchy to the ground. But as their fragile bond deepens, the shadows around them grow longer and more menacing. Grand Prince Lee Joon-ho, the nation's tragic hero and the rightful heir in the eyes of the people, has seen the secret smiles and stolen glances. His unrequited love for Seo-jun has curdled into a bitter poison, and his ambition now has a new, sharper edge. He won't just take the crown he believes is his-he'll shatter the one thing his cousin holds dear. With the court in chaos, the public calling for a new king, and the formidable Queen Dowager facing an impossible choice between duty and a long-buried truth, the stage is set for a war of hearts. Can a love born in secret survive under the harsh glare of the public eye? Or will the weight of the crown crush them both before they can ever admit what they're truly fighting for?
