- The female lead is a fierce critique of ambition: This time, IU isn’t playing a tragic heroine; she’s playing a ruthless tycoon! Her intelligence is on full display, and she dares to challenge the aristocracy—what a satisfying role 🖤
- The male lead exudes a sense of devastation: Byun Yoo-sik portrays a fallen prince. With his 189 cm height and that cold, world-weary face, he looks like a walking source of hormones in his Korean costume 👑
❤️ Plot summary: A high-stakes gamble that crosses class boundaries
In 21st-century Korea where royal lineage still matters, bloodline is the only ticket to entry. Seo Joo-kyung (played by IU): The most favored but also most humble illegitimate daughter of Korea’s leading tycoon family. She has both money and beauty, but what she lacks is noble blood. Prince Lee An (played by Byun Yoo-sik): Although the second son of the king, he is essentially a “decorative vase” in the royal family—without power or wealth, and constantly targeted by various factions.
In order to break through these class barriers, Joo-kyung offers herself with a dowry worth billions: “Prince, I will give you the means to return to the throne; in exchange, you will grant me the status of a royal wife.” Thus begins a calculated marriage based on mutual needs!

❤️ Must-see highlights
⭐ Interest Alliance: She provides the money; he takes the spotlight. In front of the media, they display their affection, but behind closed doors, they are merely cold “partners”. Who can endure such extreme tension? ⭐ Power Struggle: It’s not just an ordinary love story—it’s a clash between financial conglomerates and royal intrigue! Together, they target the royal family and confront jealous noblewomen; their minds are perfectly aligned. ⭐ Fake Romance Turning Real: When an ambitious illegitimate daughter sees through the lonely nature of the aloof prince, and when the cold prince gets used to the protection of a cunning woman… Marriage first, love later, with a dramatic twist that intensifies the sense of fate!
