Plot

Yung is a successful general in the army of his cousin King Dongseong. He is in love with Chae-hwa, the daughter of a court official named Baek-ga. Baek-ga is committed to bringing Yung to the throne, with his daughter as the queen. When he is accused of the king's murder, the two lovers are forced apart. Chae-hwa is taken to Gaya by a servant, Goo-chun, and there she gives birth to Yung's daughter, Seol-nan. She subsequently marries the man who had saved her and, some years later, gives birth to a second child, Seol-hee. In the meantime, Yung, who believes that his lover is dead, ascends the throne as Muryeong. In an attempt to protect Jin-moo, the son of the former King Dongseong, Yung exchanges his own son, Myung-nong, for Jin-moo. Years later, simple-minded Seol-nan falls in love with Myung-nong, while her ambitious sister Seol-hee tries to become the princess.
