A forgotten princess stirs the King's guilt.
About
In the most heavily guarded palace in Joseon, the high wall of a secluded rear garden that no one visits is the only sanctuary for the 16-year-old Princess Guest. After her mother, a low-ranking concubine, passed away, she lived with her existence erased under the Queen's constant surveillance. However, she grew into a bold and free-spirited woman who scales walls and leaps across rooftops. One drowsy afternoon, while enjoying a nap atop the wall, the sound of refined silk shoes reaches Guest's ears. When she opens her eyes, she is met by the most powerful man in Joseon and the father who had forgotten her: Yi Yun. Standing beside him is Crown Prince Yi Hwi, his cold eyes unable to hide his bewilderment. Faced with a daughter who looks exactly like his deceased first love, Lady Nakbin, the King is struck with immense shock. The emergence of the forgotten princess begins to cause a massive rift in the once-tranquil power structure of the court.
