However, both of them has been separated for 10 years. Although her brother promised her that they will meet each other on the bridge every 15th of the month. Her brother failed to fulfil his promise. Lee Yul’s father was then become the King of the nation. Lee Yul could not get the reason why his father has to steal the throne from his brother. His relationship with father was really bad.

He wanted to know the reason why she wanted to do so. He questioned the doctors and found the nurse. When the nurse was about to confess, she was being attacked by arrow in front of the Crown Prince.

He warned the crown princess to confess her wrongdoing. When he was about to tell his father about this case, the King only concerned about the people who resent him for the drought. He felt disappointed and followed his father order to conduct the ritual.

Crown Prince ordered all the 20s woman to get marry in order to prevent drought. Everyone was forced to marry by the end of the month. Crown Prince was being attacked and he nearly died. He was being rescued by Hong Shim’s father. He has lost his memory. Hong Shim’s father persuaded him that he was Won Deuk who has just finished his military service. Before Hong Shim was being punished, they managed to present on the court and get married on that day itself. He did not want to marry at first, but due to Hong Shim (I-Seo) begging him that she did not want to become a concubine of the old man. Won Deuk has no choice and he also wanted to help Hong Shim. Although they are husband and wife in the eye of the public, they slept separately. Hong Shim wanted Won Deuk to work but he has no other skills. He failed in every job offered for him. Hong Shim suggested him to do all the dirty, dangerous work and he refused. The way he acted seems like an abnormal people in the eye of the villagers. He even was being cheated by the loan shark to borrowed 30 yang to decorate his house. Hong Shim was furious and forced him to work to pay back the money that he borrowed.

Hong Shim found that Won Deuk actually know how to read. She asked him to read for people and help to transcript the books for the bookstore as a way of earning money. From time to time, Won Deuk started to care for Hong Shim. Won Deuk got jealous when Hong Shim hugged her brother in the market. He kept asking Hong Shim who he really is, however, Hong Shim’s answer did not satisfy by him. They started to grow affection towards one another. He also worried about her safety when a gang of men kidnapped her. While he was trying to save Hong Shim, Won Deuk accidentally recall an illusion when he was being attacked by arrows. He was hurt by the gang and Hong Shim worried about him.

The powerful old man in the village was the one who instructed the gang to kidnap Hong Shim. He told the governor to capture Won Deuk when they received a poem in the morning with threatening words. Won Deuk has no idea why they captured him. He asked a little boy to ask Royal Inspector for help. The governor threatened him to shoot an arrow to prove that he was the one who sent the poem. If he did not do what he told, he will kill Hong Shim. Won Deuk could not recall that he was skillful in arrow shoot until he holds the bow and arrow. Due to his injury on his arm, he nearly shoots Hong Shim. Hong Shim was surprised that Won Deuk knows to read, fight and arrow shooting. She started to wonder who he really is. She decided to ask her dad who Won Deuk really was. Won Deuk also curious that Hong Shim know how to read and can speak both standard and dialect language. Hong Shim’s brother finally found the Crown Prince. His mission is to kill the prince as a return for sparing his sister life.

While Won Deuk bought a pair of shoes for Hong Shim in the market and asked Hong Shim to meet him at the barley field, Hong Shim’s brother shoot an arrow to Won Deuk. Hong Shim wanted to tell him that he was not Won Deuk, but she could not say so. She arranged a date for Won Deuk to visit his village so that he can know his true identity. Hong Shim’s brother met her and wanted to bring along her to leave the place. She told her brother that she needed some time to say goodbye to her friends and family. Her brother knew that Hong Shim has been married to the Crown Prince. He told her that he is not suitable for her. Her brother brought a fake hand to the Vice-premier (the one who killed I-Seo’s family) and asked him to release him since his duty has come to an end. After Hong Shim’s brother visited Crown Princess (Vice-premier’s daughter), he was being shot by arrow.

While the governor tried to find the clue that the crown prince left for him, he sneaked into the crown prince chamber. He and a maiden have been caught. During the interrogation, the Vice-premier purposely raised the anger of the governor and he volunteered himself to find the evidence that the queen had placed a talisman on the crown prince chamber. The Vice-premier wanted to put the blame on the queen as she instructed someone to kill the crown prince. He wanted to shift the attention to deposed the queen and Prince Seowon for talisman the crown prince. The King was being pressured in the hall and unwilling to act to depose both of them. The Vice-premier threatened the King to follow his advice and wanted to take control of the nation. His intention is to make the King as puppet in order to control the country. He even revealed that the crown princess was pregnant and the baby will be the successor of the King after Crown Prince declared dead. During the meeting regarding the corruption case of a governor in village where Won Deuk lived in, the minister suggested to find someone to replace the governor. The King has no choice but follow the vice-premier suggestion to send the Governor Jung to be the governor in that village.

When the governor arrived at the village, he saw Hang Shim. He was in love with her when she arrived at Han Yang every 15th of the month at the bridge. He thought that he could married with her and wanted to thank the vice premier. He was disappointed when he found out that she has been married. He came to that village and sent the gift from the King to Won Deuk. He has a weakness which is he is bad at recognising people’s face. When he confronted with Won Deuk, he was unable to recognise him. Won Deuk wanted to know his true identity and asked Hong Shim why she lied to him. Hong Shim apologised to him and she found herself in love with him even though she knew that it was a fake marriage. Won Deuk felt that his name is related to Lee. He asked Hong Shim to list all the name that he came to his mind. Won Deuk followed his neighbour to send gift to the King. When he arrived at the palace, he found it familiar and wanted to ask the governor about his identity. Hong Shim’s brother was nearly killed. When he was awake, he heard about the news regarding the presence of the crown prince in the palace. He searched for the crown prince and finally found him. He attacked the Won Deuk in the forest at night. Won Deuk was aware of his presence and asked him about his true identity. Hong Shim’s brother told him to assume that he has passed away in order to avoid more people getting hurt.

After coming back from Han Yang, the Crown Prince decided to become Won Deuk and stayed beside Hong Shim. He started to learn how to chop the tress and twist the rope. He has improved a lot and his father-in-law was fond of him. The governor came to visit Hong Shim and asked for her favour to help him investigate the rich old man in the village. Won Deuk was jealous when his neighbour told him that Hong Shim and the governor spoken in private when he was away to Han Yang. The governor wanted to make friend with Won Deuk but he refused. He told him his intention of getting the trust of the nobleman in order to investigate a case. Won Deuk gave him some advice. They arranged an arrow practise for that rich old man to take revenge on Won Deuk who shot him earlier. Won Deuk was stunt when that old man shot him as if he recalled that he had received arrow from the ministers. Hong Shim told Won Deuk that she decided to leave the village with her brother and stayed hiding for the rest of their life. When the Kisaeng came to visit the governor, she told him about what is going on in the palace and informed him about the rumours that the crown prince was alive. When he read a contract, he noticed that the handwriting of Won Deuk is the same as the Crown Prince. The governor went to meet Won Deuk to confirm that whether he can read and write. He was curious when Won Deuk pretend to be illiterate. Won Deuk also suspicious about the governor regarding what he is trying to find out about him.

During the festival, Won Deuk promised Hong Shim that he will marry her and stay by her side. Hong Shim was later being captured by her brother to a safe place when he knew that the Vice Premier came to Songjoo Village to look for the crown prince. When the King is about to instate Prince Seowon as the Crown Prince, the Vice Premier brought Yi Yul came to the palace. The installation of new Crown Prince has been cancelled. The Vice premier was happy and tried to manipulate the Crown Prince to support him due to he has lost his memory. Hong Shim’s brother told her about Won Deuk true identity. Hong Shim could not forget him but has no other choice. They planned to move to a rural area that nobody can find them. The governor knew where Hong Shim and his brother are. He helped Hong Shim and brought her adopted father to visit her. He also went to the palace and informed Crown Prince about Hong Shim well-being.  He asked the Crown Prince to forget everything happened in Songjoo village in order to protect Hong Shim them. The Crown Prince’s behaviour has changed. He was not as arrogant as he is before. He found himself alone as all his people has been changed by the vice premier. He missed Hong Shim. He went to Songjoo village again to visit her. He managed to meet Hong Shim as she was on the way to pack her stuff from her house. She asked the Crown Prince to stay away from her. The Crown Prince asked the governor to protect Hong Shim. The governor returned the secret letter back to the prince and asked him about the riddle.

Hong Shim’s brother went to Han Yang without the notice of her. She went to find her brother there. Chinese envoy came to Hanyang. The Crown Prince did cannot remember what he did in the past with the envoy. The envoy wanted to test whether he is the real Crown Prince or not. He asked him to write a poem like they did in the past. Suddenly, someone came to interrupt their discussion. Young master of envoy went missing and the Crown Prince decided to find him himself. The young master has been kidnapped by thug who is believed that the queen was behind it. Hong Shim went to rescue the Young Master (who is actually a woman who dressed like a man). The Crown Prince saw it and believed that Hong Shim and the governor will bring her back to palace. The young master actually went to visit her lover. As the banquet going on, the envoy was unhappy that the crown prince did not find her. Before the banquet ended, the young master came back to the palace. The envoy apologised to the Crown Prince and advised him to gain his memories back. He told him that during their last meeting, they are talking about how his father-in-law intention rather than poem. He advised him to be caution about his father-in-law. Hong Shim’s friends in Songjoo Village happened to know the true identity of Won Deuk. The Prince realised that the governor had feelings towards Hong Shim. When the prince saw the Daenggi embroidery, he remembered about I-Seo. He went to the bridge and confirmed with Hong Shim her true identity.

Governor Jung brought the Crown Prince to meet his Eunuch Yang (who served the prince for the past 10 years). He was unable to speak as the vice premier asked someone to cut his throat. Luckily, he was alive. He told the prince what had happened after the incident. He asked the prince to find his journal to regarding what is going on before he encountered the accident. The prince was unable to recall where he placed his journal. Eunuch Yang recalled his journal name ‘Silence’. With the given riddle, the prince and the governor solved it and found where the journal is. They also created a scene in order to let the vice premier to believe Governor Jung that the journal has been destroyed. After reading the journal, the prince got to know who is trying to kill him. The child that carried by the crown princess was belong to Hong Shim’s brother. The vice-premier found out about it. He asked her daughter not to run away with him. In fact, he wanted her to stay at the palace and be the queen of the nation in future.

The Crown Prince told the King that the Vice-premier was the one who tried to kill him. He wanted to take revenge on him by himself. He needed a plan for it. Governor Jung was surprised to meet his fellow villagers came to his house. The villager’s complaint to him that the richest man in the village said that vice-premier was asking for firewood during the summer and he has giving the villagers troubles to collect them. Crown Prince went to visit Hong Shim and told her that he will keep his promise to marry her. One day, the Crown Prince went to the Vice-premier’s house. He was not in the house, thus his son brought the Crown Prince to his father’s room. The Crown Prince noticed that there was a rock in the cupboard. However, that was not an ordinary rock. The Vice premier suspected that the Crown Prince has gained back his memory. The Prince also know about his plan who which to start the war.

When there is news about the war occurred in the Northern, the ministers told the King that Ming started the war to the enemy by using their arrow. Thus, the enemy thought that Joseon people attacked them. They then captured Joseon people as captives. During the meeting in the palace, the Vice Premier suggested the Crown Prince to resolve the issue in the Northern. The Crown Prince followed his recommendation even though the King and his friends tried to stop him, because they knew that it was a trap set by the Vice Premier who tried to kill him. They know that the Vice Premier was the one who provided the arrows to the Ming so that the enemy can put the blame on the Joseon. Crown Prince rescued an assassin captured by Vice Premier. He knew that he was the person who tried to kill him. Hong Shim meet her brother coincidentally when the prince released him, the prince only know that he was Hong Shim’s brother. Hong Shim’s brother told the prince the reason why he has to kill him and also his relationship with the crown princess. Although the prince was furious, he was yet to release both of them and let them fled from the palace. Unfortunately, the Vice Premier managed to stop them and he even killed Hong Shim’s brother. He dragged his daughter back to the palace. The prince was surprised to see the crown princess went back to the palace.

Hong Shim saw her brother’s corpse and she was so upset about it. She decided to make the vice premier to pay for his sin with the help of her brother’s comrade. They overhead his plan and told the crown prince about it. The crown prince managed to capture him. When he was about to attack the crown prince, he has been shot dead. The King released the crown princess and her brother to Songjoo village as ordinary person. They lived quietly and peacefully there. The crown princess delivered a baby boy. The reason why the crown prince remained her live is because the baby was Hong Shim’s nephew. He did not want to kill them.

1 year has been past. The nation still experienced the drought season. The minister suggested the crown prince to marry. The King also arranged many minister daughters for him but he was not interested in anyone of them. The King was worried about his son marriage. Governor Jung suggested the King some idea. He told the prince that he decided to went to the Songjoo village and married off with someone that he loves. The prince was jealous and quickly went to there too. Hong Shim’s status has been reinstated but she preferred to live in Songjoo village. She was still running the solution agency. The prince asked her to look for his books that covered with red cloth. She searched everywhere and finally she has found it. She read his diary about her. She was touched and decided to see him. They meet at Hong Shim’s house. The prince proposed to her. Their friends wished them well. It was a happy ending.
