To everyone else in town, Hong Sam-nom is known as a man who'll do anything for money. But to his adoptive father, he's known by a different name.

At the king's upcoming birthday banquet, the crown prince plans to seek permission for regency from the Qing envoy, who's notoriously hard to please.

No one can identify or locate the mysterious woman who performed the solo dance. Sam-nom requests permission to attend the Lantern Festival.

Sam-nom starts avoiding the crown prince's palace. The crown prince finds her at Consort Park's residence, where Princess Yeongeun has gone missing.

The crown prince defends the young girl who's accused of treason, but poison discovered in the king's meal gets linked back to the girl's father.

Ra-on's mother is alarmed by what Ra-on has been doing. The crown prince finds evidence of corruption committed by a minister from the Kim family.

Realizing the danger of her staying in the palace, Ra-on secretly prepares to leave. The crown prince orders a search for the attacker who escaped.

The crown prince is deeply affected by Ra-on's absence. The chief eunuch reminds Byeong-yeon where Ra-on needs to be. The queen gives birth to a baby.

The crown prince wishes to know what Ra-on's true intentions really were. The chief eunuch senses that there's a traitor within the Baekwoon Group.

The news of Hong Gyeong-rae's return shocks everyone. Even while putting her life at risk, Ra-on wishes to reenter the palace to meet her father.
