Gosh.

Goodness.

Did I drink too much?

Goodness.

Is this a dream?

Am I still inside the novel?

My gosh.

Why is everything so complicated?

Well, whatever.

What?

That's right.

Isn't this the fateful moment...

when Eun Ae finally meets Lee Bun...

while out for a night stroll?

I can't possibly miss that epic scene.

Where is Eun Ae?

Is she not here yet?

Eyes, nose, and mouth that look like they were chiseled out of ice.

Perfectly shaped ears.

Wait. What is this...

familiar feeling?

Are you...

the male lead Lord Lee Bun?

It really is you. I'm such a fan.

Let's shake hands.

How fascinating is this?

Hey.

Have you lost your mind?

Do anything silly...

and you might lose a finger.

Try me.

The worst that could happen to me now is die.

In the novel.

You know who I am.

How dare you look me in the face?

The rumor that something dreadful happens...

if you make eye contact with Lord Lee Bun?

Whether that rumor is based on truth or not...

Let's find out.

Will you split my lips now that I kissed you?

What...

You can't, can you?

I actually know everything.

The secrets you hide.

I know you started that rumor...

so you wouldn't have to kill anyone.

Even though you'll be left alone in the end,

you chose loneliness...

over the torment of taking lives.

It's not your fault.

You did nothing wrong.

How...

How are you so sure that...

you know about me?

That's because...

I have practically read your mind.

You keep away from people...

even though you say you're lonely,

but once you fall in love,

you're pretty sweet to your beloved.

It was the first time a woman...

had spoken to me that way.

(Episode 2)

(The First Night in This Lifetime)

My head aches.

What are you doing?

My lord.

Oh, no.

Is this what you like?

My lord.

No. No way.

This isn't reality. It's not a novel...

No.

What should I call this?

If you are trying to pretend you have no memory...

to avoid what happened last night.

Or if you are trying to...

feign ignorance because you think this is something...

a couple can pretend never happened.

So that you never think so again,

I will take your small, cute head...

and crush it nicely.

So until I return,

stay right here and do not go anywhere.

Did I have a one-night stand...

with someone else's man?

I need to stay calm and think about this.

Let's see.

Eun Ae was discouraged by the bullying...

at Scarlet Court.

She meets Lee Bun by the water.

Did they...

fail to meet up because of me?

No, that can't be.

But that could be.

This is ominous.

Why did I black out just then?

I must check for myself.

Do you think...

my wish will come true at last?

Or will that young lady end up a monk in some temple far away?

Was your wish that I marry?

You know well.

You said you would never marry in your lifetime,

so I took that as a fact.

Because there was a rumor that any woman...

who has relationships with you ends up becoming a Buddhist monk.

There are times...

when rumors are helpful.

That was another rumor that you started.

But how...

did it happen?

I actually know everything.

The secrets you hide.

It's not your fault.

You did nothing wrong.

Keep her in Ho Sun Dang until I return.

Yes, my lord.

She is unlike the usual noblelady,

so treat her with caution.

It might even help to prepare a marriage proposal letter.

Already?

Did the sun rise in the west today?

Are you in there?

Are you in there?

Is she still asleep?

Why is the layout so complicated?

It's like an escape room.

Is this even the right way?

This is insane.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Which way should I go if I want to...

go outside?

- You go that way. - I see.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Goodness.

Who was that?

I do not know. I think she left the master's bedroom.

The only woman in all of Ho Sun Dang...

is the cook who works in the kitchen.

Could she have been a thief?

What? We should go after her, then.

- Wait. - What?

We should not.

She could be the thief...

who stole our master's heart.

- Buy some leather. - Over here.

- We have umbrellas. - Get your gourds.

- How much is this? - My gosh.

Unbelievable.

What on earth happened last night?

What about Eun Ae, then?

- Come and have a look. - Is this it?

- Come inside. - Sure.

This looks like the place.

Lady Sun Chaek.

What happened to you last night?

You suddenly left, and I was worried.

I guess I did drink quite a lot last night.

It is like my memories have vanished.

I have brewed some tea that should help with your hangover.

- Right. - Shall we?

Sure.

Thank you for getting me out of that tough situation.

I will forever be in your debt.

By the way, last night,

I believe I was quite tipsy.

Did I make any mistakes in front of people...

or cause any trouble?

Mistakes?

Your cocktail bombs...

- That is what you call them. - Right.

Your cocktail bombs were the talk of the town last night.

The tea house was packed with people...

who came to watch you mix drinks.

Packed, you say?

Yes. The tea house should serve those...

when the first full moon of the year rises.

My lady, could you teach me the recipes sometime?

On how to make cocktail bombs?

If that is what you want, Lady Eun Ae.

By the way,

did anything else happen last night?

Anything else?

Did Lee Bun and Eun Ae even meet last night?

No, nothing else happened.

Everyone went home in good spirits thanks to you,

and the gathering ended on a high note.

I see.

I interrupted their first encounter!

Did you not even briefly meet or brush past...

someone named Lord Lee Bun?

Oh, him.

I have heard rumors about him,

but I have not met him in person.

I see.

I hear Lord Lee...

has been coming around this part of town lately.

Are you not intrigued by him?

- Really? - Yes.

I must say I am a little scared.

You should not strike a nerve or even meet his gaze.

Although I have no connections,

I have heard about him through our customers.

Well...

He might not be as scary as the rumors suggest.

The rumors are just that, rumors.

Do you perhaps know this?

According to what I recently heard...

His lack of interest in women suggests...

that he may have an issue in a specific area.

What? No way.

Actually, he is quite the opposite...

So much for not remembering.

I remember everything now!

My gosh!

It seems as though...

I still remain...

under my older brother's shadow.

I must not have been benevolent enough.

Operating in the shadows only slowed us down.

You will not have to worry...

about The Black Gang for the time being.

It seems as though I need China's approval.

Only China's approval...

can crush those who are still loyal to the former king.

Lord Lee.

What do you think?

While China should be heard,

I believe the people's opinions come first.

In focusing only on rooting out traitors,

you have lost a bit of your former brilliance.

Once I have China's approval,

the people will follow. That is the way of things.

I take it...

that I still have not won you over.

- That is not the case. - If not,

I want the envoy delegation to China...

to be led by you.

Offer grain as tribute, gain an audience with the emperor,

and seek his approval.

Please forgive me,

but I will not be able...

to join the delegation.

Is there a reason you cannot?

I have new responsibilities...

that demand my full attention.

Responsibilities?

I have found someone...

I wish to marry, Your Majesty.

You are not one to judge,

and you speak openly regardless of a person's status.

And now you are clearing up the rumors about Lord Lee.

You are a kind person.

You were supposed to end up with the male protagonist.

That will let the story flow,

and my life will become much easier.

It seems like...

I have a crush...

- Sorry? - on you, my lady.

May I dare ask that we be friends?

I would like to spend time with you often.

What... Well...

Us as friends?

That sounds a bit preposterous.

You must also dislike me too.

I am sorry I spoke out of place.

I should have known better than to ask you to be my friend.

No, it is not like that.

I am an orphan of unknown origins,

and there are whispers...

that my father took me in as his mistress.

Who would say such things?

More than anyone,

I know just how good a person you are.

Despite your own hardships,

you always help those who need it more.

Anyone is lucky to have you as a friend.

Who would say such ridiculous things?

We will be friends. All right?

From this moment forward, no more pity parties.

Lady Sun Chaek.

Then,

how about you join the delegation after three months?

Marry her before you leave.

Your wedding...

will be conducted according to the highest royal standards.

Will you also decline that?

Understood.

I will do as ordered, Your Majesty.

You deserve...

to feel the love of a family...

you have been deprived of.

I will then excuse myself.

Sure.

You wish to marry out of the blue?

What is your true intention?

Keep a close eye on Lord Lee's movements.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is that not Lord Lee?

He must have had an audience with His Majesty.

Lord Lee!

Your Highness.

What happened to you...

that left your face looking so drawn?

Did you have a serious discussion with His Majesty?

It is nothing.

Then perhaps...

some support from a woman is what you need.

That would surely bring a glow to your face.

I plan to invite...

all the young ladies from noble families...

to the event early this month.

Maybe one of them could be your future bride.

I appreciate the gesture,

but I prefer to make my own choice in marriage.

I will get going, then.

As you wish.

He always hides his true intentions with murky and unclear words.

He is impossible to read.

Could he still be bitter about what happened?

Why is he so cold?

Your Majesty. Actually...

Is that true?

Lord Lee invited a woman to his room last night?

As if a one-night stand with the male lead wasn't enough,

I just had to become friends with the female lead.

This is so wrong.

Okay. I'm the cause of this mess.

I must somehow put everything back the way it was.

What do I do?

My lady!

My lady! Lady Sun Chaek!

My lady!

My lady! Where were you last night?

Why are you only back now?

We are in trouble.

I doubt there is another problem.

You should have told me beforehand.

Little did I know my lady had a lover.

"A lover"? What lover?

Really. You talk as if it is none of your business.

You might soon get married, my lady.

"Married"?

A marriage proposal letter has just arrived for you, my lady.

And? Did the family open it?

No, not yet. Everyone has gone out.

He mentioned he would come back when Lord Cha returns.

But Lord Cha usually returns home around this time.

Marriage? At a time like this?

No, I must stop it.

Make way.

- Be careful. - Make way.

Get out of the way, my lady!

My lady...

- Make way. - Move, my lady.

Perhaps the only alternative...

is to die here and leave this world.

- Oh, dear. - Thank goodness.

Is the lady all right?

- My lady is alive. - She is alive.

- What a relief. - Gosh.

- It is a great relief. - I know, right?

Why did the lady put herself in danger?

Did I not clearly tell you to stay put and wait?

Did you plan to die under a horse before marriage?

But nobody asked you to send...

the marriage proposal letter or whatnot.

The marriage proposal letter...

has nothing to do with the groom and the bride.

It is a formality between families.

Listen. Do you think it is logical for us...

to get married?

You and I had our first night.

It is only fitting to get married.

Well, I do not remember that night.

If you claim you do not remember,

does that mean it never happened?

Besides, I remember last night very clearly.

Who was the one who undressed me so...

Hush. Lower your voice. Someone might hear you.

You feel embarrassed? That is the opposite of last night.

Even if we had our first night,

getting married for such a reason...

feels wrong.

You seduced me, and we had our first night.

But now, you are feigning ignorance?

Are you perhaps blaming it all on me?

Do not tell me it was your first night with a woman.

Come on. No, right?

Do you take me as a beast in a rut who sleeps around...

with different women?

No, not really.

But with that face,

body, and wealth.

It's absurd you wouldn't have a woman.

Even the first night is important to a nobleman.

That is why I was holding back.

Since we spent our first night together,

we should take responsibility for each other.

Why is he so obsessed with the first night?

Despite everything,

this is too unfair.

I cannot get married.

If so...

The crime of seducing a royal family member...

and taking his virginity.

Furthermore, the crime of trying to hurt me...

and kill the horse His Majesty has bestowed on me...

by getting in the way.

It is a challenge to the royal authority.

In other words, it could be considered treason.

Yes. That is exactly right.

It is...

treason.

Thank you for the food, Father.

Of course. Dig in.

Jang Ho! Wait for me.

Keep up with us.

Father. How is the taffy?

It is very sweet.

I love it.

It will not be just you.

Your family’s status and titles will be immediately stripped.

All three generations of your family...

will be executed, wiping out the entire clan.

Because of one person,

the Cha family’s lineage will be cut off.

Sun Chaek.

Why did you not just marry him?

Why did you do it?

You had no right to turn down Lord Lee's marriage proposal.

I have not even gotten married yet.

As if I have.

If our family's lineage ends here,

I will be too ashamed to face my ancestors.

In our next life,

let us not meet each other.

At this rate, one clan...

might actually get exterminated.

What I did was wrong.

I will marry you.

So...

please spare my life.

Too bad. You only had one chance.

Kill that woman who deceived me...

in the cruelest and most painful way.

Understood, Lord Lee.

Carry out the torturous punishment on the treacherous Cha Sun Chaek,

who defiled the country's first night!

No!

Help me!

He's like a psycho,

but he’s weirdly sweet when he smiles.

My guess is that your family matters to you.

All lives are invaluable.

That is why I want to break the news...

of my marriage to my precious family myself.

I am the treasured daughter of my family.

Suddenly announcing my marriage...

will surely hurt everyone.

Can you wait a little while until I tell them...

about our marriage myself?

All right. Fine.

But you only get three days.

In three days,

the marriage proposal letter will be sent again.

Then,

how about you join the delegation after three months?

Marry her before you leave.

Your wedding...

will be conducted according to the highest royal standards.

Will you also decline that?

Right.

I do not think three days is enough.

No, it is more than enough time.

As long as you do not plan to run away.

If you are thinking about it,

you should give up.

Like I would.

This capital's terrain and defenses move the palm of my hand.

If you wish to check,

be my guest.

In short, you did not come home last night...

as you spent...

the night with Lord Lee?

It was not just a night.

It was his first night.

He is telling me to take responsibility by marrying him.

It is ridiculous, no?

And what about the marriage proposal letter?

He will send it again in three days.

I will run away as fast as I can to the farthest place.

Pack everything small that is expensive yet light for me.

Yes, my lady.

But why are you going to such lengths to run away?

It is true that Lord Lee has quite a personality.

He is a royal, he is handsome,

and there is an endless line of women who adore him.

He is the catch of the century in every way.

That is not all.

If you were to marry him and become a member of the royal family,

you get paid a nice sum to maintain your appearance,

and it would improve the family's prospects and fame.

That was your dream all along.

- My dream? - Yes.

The dream you repeated to me until my ears bled.

It was to meet and marry a young man of equal noble standing,

have as many sons and daughters as possible and live a long life,

then die naturally of old age...

under the devoted care of your great-grandchildren.

I could enjoy many perks as a member of the royal family,

but that comes with just as many risks.

- No! - Please spare us!

No way!

- My lord. Spare our lives. - Please spare us.

The female lead...

is destined to face many hardships.

I do not want to be the lead.

And more importantly...

Lord Lee is meant to marry someone else.

You said Lord Lee wishes to marry you.

That is why I must run away.

That will not be easy at all.

Once Lord Lee sets his mind to it, he can find anyone,

and he can destroy anything.

- Oh, no. - Oh, no.

See?

It looks like he found out you want to run away.

Oh, dear.

- What? - What?

Do you not even invite a guest in?

You cannot barge in like this.

Bang Ul. Are you all right?

How dare you lay hands on me?

Go and stay far away.

What brings you here?

I came to ask you something.

Last night...

you disappeared from the gathering.

Then you entered Ho Sun Dang, Lord Lee's residence,

and left this morning.

Someone I know saw you. Is that true?

Well, that is...

- Actually... - It is true.

I have no recollection.

Forget the obvious lie that you were too drunk to remember.

Did you spend the night with Lord Lee?

My hunch was right.

You bought my friendship with the silk outfit,

then shamelessly stabbed me in the back.

This scene...

looks like Do Hwa Sun's specialty, the water slap.

What the...

Were you prepared and waiting to humiliate me?

No, I did not do anything.

You threw your tea at me.

All I did was block it with the fan.

You ruined the fan the Queen Dowager gifted me.

You will pay for insulting me.

It will not be a cup of tea next time,

but a bucket or much worse.

Look forward to it.

What is happening?

Why do things keep getting messed up?

I should not do anything,

so why does my body act instinctively?

My lady.

You do not have to do this...

for the likes of me.

You are the only one...

who got revenge for me.

I swear to do anything for you if...

My lady.

My lady!

Bun, what are you doing here?

I came by because you said you could enjoy...

the best view of Hanyang from up here.

You never cared what I said.

This is a first.

Is this...

really your first time here?

This is a famous spot.

It is my first time here.

What is up with my Bun...

that made you come to a spot you had never visited before?

You said your binoculars were broken.

Yes.

Look.

They were dropped from the roof.

I worked hard to get this pair.

I will buy you a new one.

Will you?

But why?

I would like that,

but you are acting very suspiciously.

We can call this a souvenir to celebrate my first visit here.

Also,

you are my first and only...

true friend.

You seem to put great meaning into the first anything.

I am still your only friend.

It means you do not permit another.

Is that not what everyone does?

It is not...

what everyone does, which makes it special...

to value the first.

I wish you experience many firsts.

That way...

I can benefit a great deal.

Plan A. Escape.

Unwed noble ladies are banned from going beyond the city walls.

I have urgent business.

It is a command from high up and I cannot help you.

Oh, dear. My lady is very weak and ill,

and she must go south to convalesce.

Oh, my goodness.

If that is the case,

there is a great spot in Hanyang where you can convalesce.

Ho Sun Dang Spring.

Ho Sun Dang?

It is a hot spring owned by Lord Lee.

Why not go there?

Oh, dear. My lady.

Hello.

I must check you.

As you can see,

I am not a young noblewoman.

I am just checking passers-by to identify a criminal.

"A criminal"?

As soon as we identify the woman who stole something...

that Lord Lee values greatly,

we are to arrest and detain her.

It would be best for you to return home quietly.

If you somehow manage to go beyond that gate,

he will send slave hunters after you.

Slave hunters?

No!

Just let me go!

We are to bring her back dead or alive!

No!

- Come with us. - Please spare my life...

Keep walking.

You seem to be in a good mood.

That could not be. You are mistaken.

May I dare speak freely?

In affairs of this matter,

fear-mongering does not work.

Your best option is to shine warm like the sun.

I feel so suffocated.

If you dislike him that much,

why do you not make him lose interest in you?

You are right. There was that option.

Gosh, Ms. Bang Ul...

I mean, Bang Ul, you are smarter than you seem.

For instance, what could I do?

Well, I am not sure.

I have considered how to appear attractive,

but never considered how to make men lose interest.

The kind of woman that men hate.

The kind of woman that men hate...

Yes!

I actually have a clear idea of what needs to be done.

Lord Lee!

Lord Lee...

Lord Lee.

Send the marriage proposal letter in two days.

Is everything else being prepared as planned?

My gosh, it is not that.

There is something you must see.

Over there.

What on earth am I seeing?

I have no idea.

Goodness, Lord Lee!

You must want to see me this morning.

What are you doing here?

Plan B.

Irritating the compulsive male protagonist.

In the novel,

Lee Bun detests anything dirty or unhygienic.

He wouldn't be able to stand this.

Why are you like this?

And that smell...

Goodness me. She smells like manure.

I was hungry, so I dug up something to eat.

I might not look it,

but I love eating emergency crops.

And what you are smelling is not just any fertilizer.

It's feces.

My stomach rumbled after having so much of this,

so I relieved myself and covered it with soil.

Foxtail leaves are best...

for cleaning up after yourself.

Over time,

it will nourish the land at Ho Sun Dang.

Disgusting, isn't it?

I bet you can't take this...

being the neat freak you are.

Dump me already.

I'm prepared for it.

There are signs of labor...

on the hands of a lady of noble birth.

It feels refreshing and inspiring.

- What? - You have a modest palate...

and have encouraged others...

to eat emergency crops during this poor harvest.

As a member of the royal family,

you will be an inspiration to others.

Let us go.

Right.

My lord...

Darn it.

Plan C.

Be a woman of low standards who is vain and spoiled.

Goodness, my lady!

Even if you are of noble birth,

spending this much...

would drain your family of all its wealth.

Shut it!

How dare a lowly servant open her mouth...

when I am out buying what I want?

I could cut your hand off for that.

My wrists are too fragile...

to even carry this bag of jewelry.

Carry it for me.

Goodness me!

- My gosh. - Unbelievable.

- How could she? - My goodness.

That hurts.

I barely threw it.

My lady, please.

Goodness me, Lord Lee!

I have been seeing a lot of you recently.

What are you doing here?

Feeling anxious about the upcoming wedding,

I decided to dress myself anew from head to toe.

With the most precious items in the Capital...

Actually,

these were all imported. Why?

Because I believe stronger countries are superior.

I intend to keep buying products...

that are produced in limited quantities...

in Japan or China.

Could you continue...

to feed that desire of mine, Lord Lee?

Become a ditz...

who wastes the nation's money to live in luxury.

Lee Bun, an upstanding member of the royal family,

would never let it slide.

Gosh, I cannot carry all this!

Only someone like this could be considered my equal.

A delegation of envoys will be visiting in a few months.

I will make a personal request.

Your sense of style transcends borders.

What the heck? What is this?

Why isn't this working?

What's going on? Why won't he crumble?

Plan D.

An ill-fated union.

What brings you here at this late hour?

I doubt you missed me enough to come here.

Neither of us should harbor such deep longing for the other.

What do you mean by that?

I checked our compatibility...

by comparing our birth charts.

What about our compatibility?

If we marry,

you will die young.

I do not care.

What?

What do you mean you do not care?

If you marry me,

you will die.

I am considering this life...

to be a bonus round anyway.

If I may spend some of that time happily...

with the woman I love,

I will regard it as an honor from my parents...

and embrace it willingly.

I meant to say that I will be widowed.

Then, you will inherit all my fortune.

However,

you may not remarry.

Even in death, I will not allow another man beside you.

Plan E.

Finding religion.

A lady of noble birth...

will become a monk?

That is right.

From earthly desires and agony...

Especially Lee Bun!

I wish to be free.

Please accept me.

I am afraid you cannot do that.

How did you know to come here?

Do you two know each other?

Certainly. You might say...

we know each other intimately.

Why are you saying she cannot become a monk?

As long as anyone understands...

- the mercy of Buddha... - That understanding...

is what this young lady lacks.

First,

she likes to drink. A lot, if I may add.

I can quit.

Of course, I will quit drinking.

She enjoys eating meat.

Every morning, her family serves...

meat and fish for breakfast.

I only ate all that because they were served.

Because they were served.

Please, I can go vegan.

Also, I promise not to eat a lot.

So, please... Please accept me.

Please help me.

Anyone may choose to become a monk.

Nobody can stop someone from making that decision.

Something just came to mind...

that I forgot to mention.

The reason this young lady cannot become a monk.

Which is?

Is it possible to become a monk...

after losing her virginity?

What?

- No, that is not true! - Now you are even lying?

According to the Buddha's teachings, one must not lie...

Do not believe him. Please help me.

- I... - No, not that. Wait.

I am the one...

- who spent the first night... - Stop.

To Amitabha Buddha, please have mercy.

- Please have mercy. - He is out of his mind, ma'am.

I am serious.

She cannot take refuge in the Buddha.

Plan and whatnot.

I guess fleeing at night is my only option.

Just run away.

Nothing works.

How is that even possible?

I must disappear in secret.

All I could smell in the middle of the night...

was the scent of women’s powder.

I had to come to meet you.

It is not just the scent of powder.

I can also smell gold.

You can take it.

I swear I did not see anything.

It was too dark.

Judging by how you are dressed,

you must be a noble family's daughter.

How about we sell both the jewelry and the silk?

No wonder I had a sweet dream last night.

Finally, we will make good money after a while.

Please help!

Scream all you want, but it is useless.

Not even a single ant moves in the dead of night.

With that said, be obedient and...

That hurt.

What was that?

What the...

This...

It is taffy.

A taffy out of nowhere?

Oh, my apologies.

I was enjoying the night stars while eating taffy.

But it slipped out of my fingers.

The sub male lead Jung Soo Kyum?

Are you all right?

Please help me.

Goodness. This punk. You look like a nerd.

Now, now.

Why are you men being reckless?

Now that things have come to this,

we have no choice but to kill you both.

I will take care of the woman.

No, I will.

Do you have a sword? Are you good at fighting?

I will take the woman.

- We are doomed. - Have you forgotten?

- It is my turn now. - Are you good at running?

- Sorry? - But I called dibs.

But it does not matter.

Calling dibs... You little...

You had your turn last time. It is mine this time.

They are running away, darn it!

I told you I would kill the woman!

Darn it.

Darn it.

Take this, you thieves.

Of course.

Who I always liked in real life...

was the sub male lead.

Why were you, a noble family's daughter,

wandering in the woods at night?

You are the Chief State Councilor's daughter, yes?

How did you...

Actually...

I stopped by the tea house on the last full moon.

You saw me at the tea house?

Correct.

The way you made the drinks was very entertaining and refreshing.

It left such an unforgettable and strong impression.

Seriously?

Was Jung Soo Kyum there that night?

I blacked out...

No, well...

I do not remember much.

Either way, thank you for saving my life.

How do I repay you?

You do not have to repay me,

but I have a request.

Will you do me this favor?

Of course. Tell me what it is.

Can you join the Astral Philosophy Club...

I created?

"Astral Philosophy Club?"

Astral Philosophy Club...

Isn't it a drinking group disguised as the astronomy club...

that Jung Soo Kyum created?

Having always been fascinated by the sun, the moon, and the stars,

I created this group to observe the celestial bodies...

and discuss life as well as destiny.

But I know it's an excuse to drink traditional liquor as a group.

What a nice cover story.

He's quite sly.

I heard the upcoming full moon would be a big one.

How about we share your interesting and quaint drinks...

that night?

The butterfly effect of the cocktail bomb is incredible.

No, but I'm currently on the run.

Thank you for the offer, my lord.

However, a noble family's daughter...

cannot possibly go out at night...

and drink.

If you want to know how the cocktail bomb is made,

I can write the recipe down and give it to you.

No.

I wish you could teach me every step in person, face to face.

And...

it is not for the drinks.

Observing the night sky...

is the greatest form of romance the youth of this era can enjoy.

I wish to share that romance with you as well, my lady.

You will not turn down my offer, will you? Lady Sun Chaek.

Then I'll attend for just one night.

I forbid it.

Bun?

Why are you here?

And what was it with forbidding it?

I plan to ban all private gatherings...

of unmarried men and women within the city...

for the time being.

Why all of a sudden?

I have something to protect and supervise now.

- How yellow! - Gosh.

The yellow leaves are indeed beautiful.

Brothers.

Is she not Sun Chaek?

What?

Brothers...

Why are you here?

We should be asking you the same.

I did not know you were here, Lord Lee.

Let us greet you.

I see.

Are you my future brothers-in-law?

Did you just say, brothers-in-law?

I think you misheard him.

No, you heard me clearly.

I can see that your sister...

has not told you anything.

What nonsense have you been spouting since earlier?

I, Lord Lee Bun,

will declare it plainly and publicly.

Right here? Right now?

Your sister and I will soon...

We will soon get...

- Go away! - What?

No. Cover your ears.

- Cover your ears. - What was that? Soon get what?

- No, stop. - What are you...

- Stop it. - We will soon get...

No!

This handsome psycho's obsession...

with our first night together...

will most likely...

only end when I'm dead.

Sun Chaek!

(Epilogue)

You should have looked ahead before jumping.

- You little... - What?

What about you?

- You... - Should I beat you up or not?

- This is all because of you. - Me?

How dare you...

Oh, dear.

Why in the world are you doing this to us?

We were simply passers...

Do you even realize...

who you dared to threaten?

That woman will soon be wed to me, Lord Lee Bun.

Lord Lee Bun?

My apologies.

We were simply trying to make ends meet.

But that woman ran away...

while holding another man's hand.

Hey. Hush.

Your mouths seem unnecessary...

if that is what you do to make ends meet.

- Sorry? - What?

Please spare us.

Beg for mercy already!

- Actually... - We apologize.

I stopped by the tea house on the last full moon.

I do not know what we did wrong,

- but please spare our lives. - You saw me at the tea house?

It left such an unforgettable and strong impression.

Consider yourselves lucky today.

- Thank you, my lord! - Goodness me.

(The First Night with the Duke)

What a night it was.

Anyone would have lost consciousness.

He called us his brothers-in-law!

What is with that master of obsession?

This feels like the love story of the millennium.

Young ladies and gentlemen of Hanyang seeking romance...

are welcome anytime.

At a late-night gathering of young ladies and gentlemen,

anything could happen.

Cha Sun Chaek!
