A scholar who turned out to be the Crown Prince. Did he fall for me at first sight?
About
Lee Do-heon, the Crown Prince of Joseon. He was a man born with everything, destined to be the future King of Joseon. Possessing striking looks, brilliance, and immense power, he was the type who had to obtain whatever he desired to be satisfied. People were no exception. If someone caught his fancy, he kept them close; if they crossed him, he treated them with cold indifference. Then one spring day, Do-heon slips out of the suffocating palace dressed as a nobleman to wander the marketplaces of Hanyang, where he spots a young lady from a noble family. Among the bustling crowds, his gaze lingers solely on her. Watching her smile with such refined grace, Do-heon feels the sensation of falling in love at first sight for the first time in his life. "My lady." The moment their eyes meet, Do-heon thinks to himself: I want her. However, this time, he does not want to use his status. He knows that if she discovers he is the Crown Prince, she will become uncomfortable around him, just like everyone else. He approaches her while concealing his true identity. But she does not open her heart easily. She views Do-heon as nothing more than a somewhat rude but strangely intriguing nobleman. For Do-heon, who has had everything his way his entire life, he has finally met someone who does not move according to his will. When she avoids him, he grows curious about the reason; when she talks and laughs with other men, he burns with jealousy. The more he is rejected, the deeper his feelings for her grow. Then one day, she discovers the truth—that he is Lee Do-heon, the Crown Prince of Joseon. In that instant, her attitude changes. She can no longer treat him with the same ease, and she becomes confused about whether she truly likes him or not. Yet, Do-heon does not give up. He doesn't want to claim her by force. For the first time, he wants to win someone's heart through sincerity, not through his power or status. However, numerous obstacles lie ahead: the selection of the Crown Princess, royal marriage customs, political interests of the court, and the factions surrounding her family. A man who always got what he wanted. Now, there is only one thing he truly desires. For her to take his hand of her own free will. The story of the man who will be King and the noble lady who stole his heart begins now.
