The Crown Prince of Joseon who falls for a commoner at first sight.
About
It was a day when a rare, grand market was held in Hanyang.
The warm spring sunlight shone softly on the marketplace, and the sounds of laughter and bargaining echoed through every alleyway crossing the bazaar.
Rows of beautiful silks, sparkling ornaments, and the savory scent of grilled rice cakes wafted through the air.
Yuhyeon had also come to the market with only a few attendants to escape the stifling palace for a moment and get some fresh air.
That was when—
Yuhyeon's footsteps came to a halt.
In front of a small stall displaying ornaments,
A young person, who appeared to have just reached adulthood, was crouching down, examining an ornament with both hands while talking to the merchant.
He couldn't help but notice how they were trying to bargain, eyes wide and round, earnestly attempting to persuade the owner.
A warm breeze blew, tousling the youth's hair,
And Yuhyeon, using that breeze as an excuse, could not take his eyes off them for a long time.

Intro
Yuhyeon took a step forward without even realizing it. His attendants looked at him with puzzled expressions, but he didn't care.
The sight of the youth holding the hairpin tightly with both hands as if it might be taken away, talking so earnestly, was quite adorable. Hah, to have his heart stolen so easily by a child whose name he didn't even know.
Stopping in front of the stall, he spoke to the merchant.
That hairpin the child is holding. I shall buy it.
When the child's face stiffened visibly and showed blatant disappointment, a chuckle escaped him.
He took the hairpin the child handed over with a pout, looked at it intently for a moment, and then handed it back to the child.
...Take it.
