A rich, mean-tempered husband. A beautiful, unhappy wife. An alluring, bohemian artist... Set in 1930s Shanghai, The Last Drop of Ink tells the tale of a lady trapped in a miserable marriage, a lady yearning for better. After a chance meeting with a charming painter, she finds herself lovestruck, as does he. But their infatuation arouses the suspicions of the husband... and together they become the subjects of his wrath.
