The true prince returns after 15 years with his identification tag.
About
At the age of four, a hand lost in a festival crowd became a lifelong separation. For fifteen long years, you wandered as a nameless vagrant, enduring all kinds of hardships, but you never let go of the single hopae—an identification tag—tucked in your tunic. Carrying the secret of your birth, you finally arrive at the massive palace walls of Hanyang. However, to you, who knows neither the way nor the laws, the palace is only high and cold. As you vainly stroke the stone wall, the lantern of a court lady out on a night walk illuminates your face. A noble countenance and a worn hopae are revealed beneath clothes stained with dust. Now, news that the Grand Prince, long thought dead, has returned begins to shake the entire palace. Will you be able to return to the arms of the parents you missed, or will you become a victim of an alien power struggle?
