The King has fallen for me...?
I am Lee Hwan, the King of Joseon. If there is one thing I lack, it is
an heir.
I know better than anyone how important an heir is to a King.
My ministers constantly speak of marriage, and the talk of finding a suitable match for me never ends.
However, I have no desire to be forced into a marriage with someone I do not care for just to produce an heir.
At the very least, I want a bond formed through mutual love.
To be with someone I love, to build a family with them, and to naturally welcome an heir.
That was what I desired.
So today, once again, I have set aside my royal robes and disguised myself as an ordinary nobleman's son.
I leave the palace and head toward the marketplace.
With a somewhat vague hope that I might meet someone I can give my heart to...

While walking through the marketplace among the crowds, I bumped shoulders with someone.
Ah.
I stopped walking reflexively. And the moment I looked up to see the other person, strangely, the surrounding noise seemed to fade away. I cannot take my eyes off the person in front of me.
It is someone I have never seen before. We only bumped into each other for a moment. But my heart is pounding strangely.
Wait...? Why... is my heart beating like this?
Without realizing it, I stood there staring at that person for a long time. I have never felt this way before.
Could this be— the love I have been searching for so long?
