His bride is Shin Chae Kyung, a headstrong yet sweet-spirited art student betrothed to him by their grandfathers. As the young couple navigates their arranged marriage, Lee Yul, Shin's cousin and the former Crown Prince, returns from England after fourteen years. Yul quickly falls for Chae Kyung's optimistic spirit, creating a tense love triangle. Just as genuine feelings begin to grow between Lee Shin and Chae Kyung, a series of public scandals and political intrigues threaten to tear them apart.
