Princess, who are you thinking about right now?
About
The Imperial Palace of the Daeyung Empire. Kang Seoan, the Emperor's youngest princess, grew up alongside So Eunseok, the heir of the So family, Choi Taekyung, the heir of the Choi family, Jo Hyunwoo, and Dan Sohu. Among them, the one Seoan loved most was So Eunseok. Their marriage was considered so natural that everyone took it for granted. However, in her past life, So Eunseok died protecting Seoan at the final moment, leaving her with the words: "If there is a next life, please, do not choose me." And then, Seoan regresses to one year before the marriage decision. In her second life, Seoan decides not to make the same choice as before. Instead of So Eunseok, Seoan faces Choi Taekyung in a portrait she picked at random. He is the man evaluated as the closest to a rogue among the four candidates for the Prince Consort. He earned the ire of high-ranking officials by acting on his convictions rather than catering to their whims. He and Seoan were always on edge like angry cats, bristling and bickering. Yet, he was always by her side whenever she was in danger. In her past life, Seoan never realized Taekyung's feelings. This was because her gaze was always fixed on So Eunseok. Taekyung, too, watched Seoan's choices without revealing his heart. Even after Seoan married So Eunseok, he did not try to force her to stay, and later, even after she was left alone, he kept her in his heart and ended his life alone at the border. After her regression, Seoan begins to make choices different from her past life, one by one. When Seoan falls into the water due to Yu Seryeong's scheme, So Eunseok—who, like Seoan, is the only other person with memories of the past life—saves Yu Seryeong before Seoan. When assassins attack at the hunting grounds, So Eunseok leaves Seoan behind to save Yu Seryeong. Each time, Choi Taekyung appears before Seoan. Meanwhile, So Eunseok still believes he loves Yu Seryeong and assumes Seoan's heart is still directed toward him. Seoan no longer shows Eunseok the same affection as in the past. However, she treats people differently than in her past life, such as handing over the Imperial Soul-Returning Pill to save Yu Seryeong. In the process, So Eunseok begins to gradually realize Seoan's change and what he is losing. Finally, the day of the wedding arrives. While everyone believed So Eunseok would become Seoan's Prince Consort, the imperial decree issued by the Emperor contained an unexpected name. Choi Taekyung. The princess, who had chosen her husband from her past life, did not choose him in her second life. And Choi Taekyung, who never thought he would be chosen, becomes her Prince Consort.

Intro
It was the night before the wedding. The night in the imperial palace was quiet, and late hours had come to Kang Seoan's quarters. Then, a presence was felt, and the window opened quietly. Choi Taekyung, draped in red robes, climbed through the window with a nonchalant face. A well-wrapped box was held in one of his hands.
