Woon-Sim caught her at Gye Sang-Mok’s room. She wanted to make a deal with her. She asked her to sell the top-notch alcohol for her. In return, she will pay her handsomely. Kang Ro-Seo thought about it without promising her.

Lee Pyo and Nam Young heard from Cheon-Geum that Kang Ro-Seo went to Kisaeng house alone. They worried about her safety. Therefore, Nam Young brought his subordinates under the approval of Lee Pyo to rescue Kang Ro-Seo. At last, Nam Young found her and brought her out of Kisaeng house. At night, everyone was celebrating with beef barbeque.

Woon-Sim bought an abandon bar at a cheaper price. She convinced Kang Ro-Seo that the alcohol prohibition will lift as the crown prince was an alcohol drinker. Kang Ro-Seo imagined the future of the bar and also how the business runs pretty well. She agreed to join hand with Woon-Sim.

Lee Pyo gave Kang Ro-Seo a beautiful hanbok as payment for her alcohol. Kang Ro-Seo told Lee Pyo to keep her secret. When Nam Young asked whether does she go to Gwangju, she denied it right away. Lee Pyo was secretly in love with Kang Ro-Seo. However, he was unable to express himself freely. Lee Pyo teased Nam Young that he will be asking Kang Ro-Seo to be his crown princess rather than his concubine. Nam Young was shocked to hear that.

Kang Ro-Seo invited Dae-Mo and Woon-Sim to talk about their business. All of them agreed with the terms and conditions. Han Yae-Jin followed Kang Ro-Seo and she heard all of their conversation. Dae-Mo caught her and tried to kill her. Kang Ro-Seo stopped Dae-Mo. Kang Ro-Seo asked Han Yae-Jin a favour to help them deliver the alcohol to Woon-Sim.

Nam Young wanted to find out the murderer who killed his parents. He saw the similar cut on the hand of Merchant Sim. However, he could not recognize him since his face was covered. Nam Young was jealous when he heard Lee Pyo was going to meet Kang Ro-Seo. He purposely stopped by his chamber and talked about work. He requested his approval to investigate the case secretly. Lee Pyo approved his request.

Lee Pyo’s uncle scolded him for being away from his duty as a crown prince. He has been instructed to stay at the palace for the time being. The queen has heard the rumours about Lee Pyo seeing someone outside the palace. Lee Pyo intended to bring Kang Ro-Seo to the palace as his crown princess. Nam Young was jealous when Lee Pyo said so.

Kang Ro-Seo told Nam Young that the letter wasn’t from her. She was just passing to letter to Lee Pyo. Nam Young felt relieved to hear that. Lee Pyo thought that the letter was actually from Kang Ro-Seo. When he went for a date, he realised that she was Han Yae-Jin. Lee Pyo rejected her love and left. Han Yae-Jin was really upset and she could not even eat well.

Han Yae-Jin stole a few steals from her father in order to allow Kang Ro-Seo and her partner to bypass the gate. Unfortunately, the guards found out that there was someone who misused Minister of Wars’ steal to pretend to be sending the weapon to them. Han Yae-Jin realised that someone wasn’t right. She afraid that her father might find out about it. She purposely made an excuse for his father in order to stop him from catching Kang Ro-Seo and her partner. Kang Ro-Seo saw Han Yae-Jin in front of the gate and she made a signal for her. Kang Ro-Seo knew that their plan has been discovered and quickly splits ways to avoid the guards to catch them.

Nam Young was investigating the case that related to his parent death. He met with Merchant Sim and he found his eyes very familiar.

Kang Ro-Seo told them that while she was being kidnapped by Merchant Sim’s men, she heard that they received bribes from the buyers who purchase liquor. Merchant Sim then bribed Minister of Prohibition so that they did not get caught. Kang Ro-Seo thought of a plan to find the flow of money in order to catch Merchant Sim. Kang Ro-Seo worked together with Dae-Mo, Song Mak-San, Gye Sang-Mok, Joong-Mok, Ha-Mok, Cheon-Geum and Chun-Gae to stole Merchant Sim’s money and also burnt down their warehouse.

He also asked him to look for Kang Ro-Seo. He promised Merchant Sim that he will give him a government position. The capital was full of Kang Ro-Seo’s poster whereby she has been framed for being the leader of selling alcohol.

When Han Yae-Jin heard that her father wanted to let her marry with the crown prince, she quickly packed her bag and left her house. She saw Kang Ro-Seo’s poster all over the capital.

He raided Minister of Prohibition because it has connection with Sim Heon.

Chief Royal Secretary Lee Shi-Heum knew about it. He lied to him that Minister of Prohibition was meant for the King to build his own army. He did not want Nam Young to continue this investigation. At the same time, Chief Royal Secretary Lee Shi-Heum sent an anonymous letter to the palace to raid Nam Young’s residence because he kept Kang Ro-Seo at his home. Kang Ro-Seo saw a tiger toy at Nam Young’s study room. She found that was similar to the one that her father made for her. Suddenly, she heard the guards were trying to arrest her. She quickly escaped from the house.

On the way, she met the queen. The queen offered to hide her in her carriage. She also placed her to stay at somewhere safe. Kang Ro-Seo asked for her name. she refused to tell her. Kang Ro-Seo sent a letter to Nam Young to tell him her whereabouts. Nam Young quickly went to find her. Kang Ro-Seo asked him about the toy tiger. He explained about what happened 10 years ago and also who was the murderer who killed her father. Kang Ro-Seo finally knew that truth and decided to give out poster to whoever to manage to catch Sim Heon will be awarded 10,000 yang. Kang Ro-Seo’s brother saw the poster and wanted to leave the place with Gye Sang-Mok.

Kang Ro-Seo hired a few people to distribute the posters all around the capital city. The guards kept chasing the distributors of posters. Chief Royal Secretary Lee Shi-Heum read the poster as well. He decided to quickly move on with his plan. On the other hand, he also placed some poison for the king to consume. The King’s body has become weaker and weaker. Chief Royal Secretary Lee Shi-Heum wanted to take over the King’s place.

Nam Young asked Prohibition Inspector Kim Seok-Won to request for more soldiers. However, the Minister of Wars did not have enough soldier to assist him. Fortunately, Kang Ro-Seo gathered Gye Sang-Mok’s men to attack Sim Heon’s men. Sim Heon escaped from the ice storage place. Nam Young chased him. Sim Heon unintentionally stabbed Dae-Mo. Dae-Mo then passed away on the spot. Sim Heon ran to the cliff. Suddenly, Lee Shi-Heum shot a few arrows on him. Nam Young did not mean to kill him. He tried to ask him who was the one behind it.  Sim Heon told him that nobody behind him. He was then fell down into the sea.

Lee Shi-Heum was the one who poisoned the Crown Prince Sunghyun. Kang Ro-Seo’s father found out about it and he killed him as well. Kang Ro-Seo quickly told Nam Young that Jannabi was Lee Shi-Heum. Nam Young went to Lee Shi-Heum’s house. He was waiting for him at his study room. He searched his room and found the cup that the King used to drink.

Nam Young wrote a letter for the King. He asked his colleagues to pass the letter directly to the King if anything happened to him. Nam Young told Lee Pyo about it. Lee Pyo wanted to protect him. Therefore, he ordered the guard to arrest him as well as Kang Ro-Seo.

Lee Shi-Heum met up with the King. He poured the tea for the King to drink. The King knew that he copied others’ writing to frame the other person. The king also demanded him to kill himself in front of him. However, the King has been poison. He collapsed.

Han Yae-Jin slapped Lee Pyo so that he was aware of what he was doing. After being convinced by her, Lee Pyo secretly helped Nam Young and Kang Ro-Seo to escape. After they left the Palace, they decided to plan their strategy to declare war against Lee Shi-Heum. Kang Ro-Seo took over the breweries of Sim Heon. She also met her brother there too.

Sim Heon was being rescued by Woon-Sim. Sim Heon once told her that he was the son of Lee Shi-Heum. His father did not know his existence. His mother gave birth to him and also curved a symbol on his hand. He wanted to tell his father when the time is right. Woon-Sim refused to see him acting this way. She went to the palace and tried to kill Lee Shi-Heum. Sim Heon stopped her. Although she told Lee Shi-Heum that he was his son, Lee Shi-Heum did not believe her.
