Adapted from a webtoon, the drama will mix courtly romance and political intrigue in a historical setting. The story follows Princess Eun-myeong, daughter of the king, who grows up in solitude after losing her mother at an early age. Enclosed by the strict rules of the palace, her life is turned upside down when she falls in love with a scholar, Kim Seo-yul, and decides to marry him.

But their relationship is far from simple. A long-standing conflict between their families quickly turns their love story into a complex struggle of rivalry and power. Their romance, marked by obstacles and tensions, evokes a Korean version of “Romeo and Juliet”.
