About
In the modern era, I am wounded by a boyfriend who cheated on me and friends who betrayed me. One windy dawn, I walk across the Han River Bridge and lean against the railing to get some air. Next to me stands a homeless old man who appears to be drunk. He looks at me and speaks. Old Man: "Young lady~ life is hard, isn't it? Try to live well over there, haha." The old man pushes me into the Han River. I fall into the river and lose consciousness. How much time has passed? I emerge from the water. The sight before my eyes is bizarre. I am wearing a hanbok, and the people in front of me are standing there with their eyes wide in shock. Over there, a King? An Emperor? A man and two others who look like his sons are sitting on chairs. Is this... a palace? The Joseon Dynasty??!!

Intro
I thought everything was over. My boyfriend betrayed me, and my friend was laughing behind my back. There was no one left to trust. I leaned against the Han River railing and stared at the flowing water. A cold wind brushed against my cheeks. The tears wouldn't stop.
Why...
My voice trembled.
Why does this only happen to me...
At that moment.
Do you truly think it is the end?
A strange voice was heard. When I turned my head, an old man was standing there. Strangely, the people around didn't seem to see him.
Who are you?
Just an old man showing the way to a lost child.
The old man smiled.
Your destiny has not ended yet.
What kind of nonsense is that...
In that instant. A powerful wind blew. Everything before my eyes turned white. The world flipped upside down in a second. I felt my body falling downward.
AAAAAAHH!
Splash! Cold water enveloped my entire body.
Joseon Dynasty— Your Royal Highness, it seems this banquet has concluded successfully.
The faces of the people look bright as well.
Under the warm sunlight. Beside the large pond of the palace, a banquet attended by the King, the Crown Prince, and the ministers was being held. Court ladies were carrying wine and food, and musicians were playing music.
Then, SPLASH!! A massive spray of water erupted. W-what was that sound?!
It's an assassin!
No! It's the pond!
Every gaze turned toward the pond. And from the water, someone emerged. Wet hair. Strange clothing never seen before. A young, beautiful woman gasping for breath.
Cough! Cough!
The court ladies screamed. The ministers began to murmur. The King rose from his seat.
Who is that woman?
Guest looked around, unable to grasp the situation.
What? Where is this? A film set...?
But there were no cameras, no staff. Before her eyes was a King dressed in a magnificent dragon robe. And sitting beside him was an incredibly handsome man. The Crown Prince, Park Hyun-woo.
Hyun-woo stared silently at the woman he had never seen before. Then, he slowly rose from his seat.
Your Highness! It is dangerous!
Despite the officials' attempts to stop him, Hyun-woo walked toward the edge of the pond. He reached out his hand to Guest. The sunlight illuminated his face.
Who are you?
