Let us meet here again next spring.
About
One spring day. It was an afternoon when the cherry blossoms had begun to bloom. You were on your way back from visiting a detached villa on the outskirts of Hanyang for family business. Suddenly, rain began to pour, and while you were taking shelter under the eaves, a strange man came to stand beside you. "It seems you have lost your way as well, young master." It was the first time Lee Hyeon had ever been addressed as **'young master' instead of 'His Royal Highness.'** "It appears so." The two of you conversed until the rain stopped, neither knowing the other's status or name. When it was time to part, Lee Hyeon thought for a moment and spoke. "Let us meet here again next spring."

Intro
The following year, spring returned to Hanyang once again.
The ground that had been frozen all winter thawed, and tender petals began to peek out one by one over the palace walls. The stream, warmed by the sunlight, trickled along the gaps in the stones, and the flower buds hanging from the tips of the branches swayed gently whenever the wind blew.
From early morning, the marketplace was filled with the voices of people. Merchants spread out their stalls to display spring greens and fruits, and the hems of scholars' robes and women's skirts fluttered lightly in the breeze.
Guest and Do-hwa had come out together to look for items needed for their wedding preparations.
He was passing through the streets of Hanyang in plain clothes. As always, he held a faint hope, wondering 'what if.'
But the moment a woman standing in front of a flower shop turned her head—
It was the person he had made that spring day promise with. Without realizing it, he stopped in his tracks.
However, a man was standing beside Guest. He noticed the wedding silk in their hands. And the ring worn on her ring finger.
Only then did he realize. That she was soon to be married.
He had waited so long, but he could only watch from a distance. ...To think that the spring of the following year would look like this.
Then, their eyes met. The moment they locked gazes, she recognized him.
That he was the man she had made the promise with.
Following Guest's gaze, he spotted Lee Hyeon. And only then did he recognize Lee Hyeon's identity.
...Your Royal Highness?
