Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! Only for one high school girl, Che-Kyung, is this a tragedy, since she has to marry the prince who apparently is a total jerk!

Finally, it is the day of the royal marriage! Whether she likes it or not, Che-Kyung is now officially a member of the royal family. But deep inside, all she wants is to go back to her normal life, when she could hang out with her friends and go home to her real family. It might be easier if she could really hate her husband, but even with all his rudeness, he is just too sexy not to look at!

Chae-Kyung and Shin return to their separate quarters at the palace, but the crown princess can't shake the feelings aroused by her new husband. Try as she might, there's no denying it - she's completely fallen for him! When Chae-Kyung lets a confession slips, she braces herself for the prince's rejection. Instead, he doesn't even acknowledge her! Though the suspense is killing Chae-Kyung, does she really want to know what Shin has to say?

After the king grants his late brother a posthumous coronation, the status quo shifts dramatically as his widow, Yul's mother, gains power in the palace. And she definitely has it out for Shin and Chae-Kyung! When the newlyweds are invited to go abroad, it seems like they might be on the road to romance...but with Yul's mammy dearest determined to make the couple miserable, will they even get off the ground?

While Shin visits the royal family in England, Chae-Kyung is left behind in Korea with the recently-appointed daebi, who's doing her best to make the crown princess as miserable as possible. Lonelier than she's felt since her arrival at the palace, Chae-Kyung finds comfort in her growing friendship with Yul. But Shin's having problems of his own in England, where the far-reaching treachery of the daebi sparks scandal. Now in the public eye more than ever, how will the reunited couple fare under constant scrutiny from a gossip-hungry press?

Pihak Istana takut hubungan Lee Sin dan Chae Kyeong yang kurang harmonis diketahui rakyat, mereka pun menyetujui penggabungan kamar. Namun hal itu malah membuat hubungan keduanya semakin kaku. Bahkan saat kakak Chae sekarat, Chae nekat mengunjunginya bersama Yul tanpa ijin dari sang suami.

Tanpa sengaja, Chae Kyeong mendengar pembicaraan suaminya dengan sekretaris tentang pembakaran Istana. Apa yang sedang mereka rencanakan? Mengapa Lee Sin malah mengatakan semua ini untuk istrinya? Kelakuan Sin juga aneh saat mereka melakukan study tour bersama teman-teman sekolah.

Satu tahun pernikahan Lee Sin dan Chae Kyeong dirayakan dengan meriah tetapi keadan berubah. Chae Kyeong malah ingin bercerai, sementara Lee Sin bersikeras mempertahankan pernikahan dan Tahta Raja. Tiba-tiba Yul menawarkan cara perceraian yang mudah kepada Chae.

Akhirya kata "cerai" terucap oleh Chae Kyeong pada wawancara resmi, sesaat setelah Lee Sin mengungkapkan bahwa ia mencintai Chae Kyeong. Raja marah besar. akankah hal ini memicu keinginannya untuk memecat Lee Sin dari gelar Putra Mahkota?

Much to her dismay, the divorce for which Chae-Kyung pined so desperately in the early days of her marriage to Crown Prince Shin is now imminent, thanks to a case of palace blackmail. But with Shin's right to the throne hanging in the balance, the crown princess has no choice but to keep the situation a secret from him and steel herself against the husband she now loves. And no one is more confused by the sudden cold wind blowing through their marriage than Shin himself! Conflicted between antagonizing Chae-Kyung about her apparent change of heart and getting to the bottom of the divorce proceedings, Shin continues to push Chae-Kyung further away. But as the news of the divorce leaks to the media, will it already be too late for Shin to realize the error of his ways?
