From now on, anyone who forced women in Dongbangguk,

will be punished severely according to state law.

Likewise with anyone who reproaching a woman for her honor,

he will receive the same punishment.

Human life is more valuable than anything else.

There can be no more who lost their lives,

due to the loss of his honor.

At this point, I became curious.

Who do you think you really are? author of Chun Hwa Love Story?

First,

he must be someone very understand the situation well.

Have extraordinary skills in painting,

able to write so captivatingly,

to dismantle every detail without hesitation.

Plus, he knows a secret,

deepest part of the royal family.

In this peaceful and safe world,

who actually is keep throwing...

...Chun Hwa's Love Story...

...into our midst?

EPISODE 6

When I was going to the capital,

There seems to be a commotion.

Prince Hwa Ing has crossed the line,

so i can't just leave it alone.

Be careful,

Things can turn around,

become dangerous at any time.

Okay, I understand.

If that is true,

I,

I can't seem to forgive my brother.

- Hey. - Yes.

Go out and find the first volume and second from Chun Hwa Love Story.

Good.

If this story is true, it is true Prince Hwa Ing's actions,

then his title can be revoked and exiled.

If you look at his behavior so far,

it is not a baseless accusation.

I can only say it now,

but the woman who tries ended his life after being abused by her,

has been saved by me and Princess Hwa Ri.

Is it true?

Correct.

Even though there is no evidence regarding the incident,

but, from what I just witnessed that day,

his crimes against the people there must be countless numbers.

You must give a stern warning,

so that he will no longer commit injustice.

Okay.

I don't know who the author is,

but what is clear is that he knows the conditions inside the palace in great detail.

It seems so.

THEN PRINCE LEE...

How shameless!

Wait, is this true?

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

However, Prince Hwa Ing's depraved behavior,

it is an open secret among the people.

Even though it's just a story in story books,

but Chun Hwa Love Story not only describes himself,

but also contains stories which seems to resemble,

Princess Hwa Ri and Her Highness Princess Consort Hyo Jin,

and is now becoming an ingredient discussion among the people.

What do you say? There is even a story about them too?

- Correct. - Good grief.

If only considered as people's entertainment,

Of course this has crossed the line.

Therefore, in order to maintain order and morality,

I ask that the circulation of the book it was immediately stopped,

and punish the perpetrators firmly.

How impudent!

How dare he degrading the royal family!

CHUN HWA LOVE STORY

Guards!

Arrest the author immediately Chun Hwa Love Story book!

Who is the owner of this place?

Me. What's up?

- Catch him. - Good.

What?

SHOP

THEY SAW...

Her Majesty the Empress has arrived.

CHUN HWA LOVE STORY

Mother, what do you need? come suddenly like this?

His Majesty the King,

has ordered that the author Chun Hwa's Love Story is captured.

Reportedly, the latest book,

depicts the story of Prince Hwa Ing,

then the author will be arrested and punished severely.

Not only contains about Prince Hwa Ing alone,

the first and second volumes of the book Chun Hwa's Love Story also said,

make yourself and Princess Concubine Hyo Jin as the main character.

Did you know this?

Why do I care? if it's all not true?

When not in the presence of the king, people often criticize their leaders.

This is just a book,

and has nothing to do with the truth so I don't bother.

Okay.

Do you already know,

that this kind of book currently popular among the people?

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

You already know,

why keep quiet without telling me until things turned out like this?

I didn't report it because I thought it was just,

popular fictional story among the people.

Even though it is said that the first volume of the book,

tells about Princess Hwa Ri,

His Majesty the King himself,

must have known that the contents it's not true after reading it.

If so, what about Prince Hwa Ing?

How far is the truth? story about him?

The story of Prince Hwa Ing is also not true.

Even though he likes to travel and have fun,

how could he possibly dare harassing the palace maids.

All this is just,

a fabrication of lies from someone named Lee Mong Heon.

Trust me, Your Majesty the King.

Whether the contents of this book are true or not,

everything will be revealed once the author was caught.

Dad, what should we do?

His Majesty the King has ordered,

so that the writer of Chun Hwa Love Story immediately arrested.

If the writer is caught,

and to reveal Prince Hwa Ing's actions...

That can't happen.

We have to find that bastard writer,

before His Majesty the King does.

Then, what about the palace maids?

Where have you been all this time just worried about that?

When I first read this book,

I'm angry and wondering who dares to write the story,

which insulted the royal family.

How presumptuous and outrageous.

However, regarding the story of the evil wife,

which he said tells the story Princess Concubine Hyo Jin,

when I read it, I myself felt satisfied.

It seems, in my heart too,

I want a son-in-law the kingdom was punished.

If only my feelings were like this,

imagine how much more satisfying it would be,

the people who read this book.

Teacher.

Father,

looking for a writer Chun Hwa Love Story,

on charges of having insulting the royal family.

Have you heard it?

Already.

Why do you think the author,

make a book like that?

Every time I paint,

I always think,

"Why did I make this painting?"

Although the reasons vary,

There is one thing I always hope for.

What's that?

I hope the feeling I find in these paintings of mine,

can also be felt by the person who sees it.

In this world we live in,

it is very difficult to find the consequences according to one's actions.

Maybe, he just wants people who reads the book,

can feel entertained,

even if only for a moment.

Stop.

Who is the person named Lee Mong Heon? write the book Chun Hwa Love Story?

We,

don't know, sir.

Correct.

We only sell books that we receive.

Well then, at least you know who sent the book!

Tell me the truth, right now!

Don't know.

We really don't know anything, sir.

We don't know anything, sir.

It seems that this punishment is still not harsh enough.

- Guards! - Good.

It seems they don't will easily open his mouth.

Let me persuade them in a more subtle way.

Good.

I heard you were the one who supplied the rental books,

to shops in the capital.

Who is the person really? named Lee Mong Heon,

Who wrote Chun Hwa's Love Story?

I don't know, sir.

I just share,

printed books for sale,

but I never saw,

or hear who the author is.

Impossible.

This book is not just one or two volumes,

and has spread widely throughout the capital for a long time.

There must be someone who wrote and hand it over to you,

then you print and distribute it.

At least, there must be someone,

what you suspect as the author, right?

If any of you,

tell me who Lee Mong Heon is,

the person will be released soon.

I will give you one chance Lastly, so be honest.

Who is Lee Mong Heon?

Your Highness, Princess.

Previously, you have tell me something, right?

I feel like I shouldn't you waited too long,

so i beg to meet you.

Good.

Forgive me.

Does not matter.

I just want to say,

to Her Highness the Princess how i feel.

Through this incident,

I realized many things and started back to preparing for the exam.

Is it true?

That was a really good decision.

I,

always think of you as someone extraordinary.

You have a strong belief,

never fail to try,

and always be serious in all respects.

Your decision right now really shines bright.

I will try hard to find my place again.

And,

whatever the path Your Highness the Princess chooses,

I would be happy to support it.

Thank You.

Her Highness Princess Hwa Ri has arrived.

Is everything done?

Many are left behind,

But,

what was brought was actually little.

Live well.

Of course!

Who do you think I am?

I am the Princess of Concubine Hwa Jin from this country.

That's why you have to live better.

After marriage, you have to left the palace and went far away.

You won't be able to meet me,

and no one will be able to help you.

I'm the one who's worried.

All over the world, who else but me,

who can face your stubbornness?

Please, control your temper a little,

live well, so that your brother can no need to worry about you.

Base.

I was the one born first!

Who got married first who are considered adults.

You are still far from being an adult!

Geez.

Actually,

a few days ago I met Lee Jang Won...

I already know that too.

You think I'm insensitive?

My heart has made up its mind,

so don't worry about me,

follow your heart.

Don't regret it again.

Hey!

Why?

His Majesty the King has arrived.

Father?

Father?

Already confirmed nothing left behind?

Already.

Live well without obstacles.

If life feels hard, don't just hold back,

you can always come back to the palace at any time.

This place will always be be your home anytime.

Don't worry.

I will live well.

Okay.

Now you have become a part of the inner court,

So learn good manners,

and accompany the Crown Prince with the right attitude.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Her Majesty the Empress.

You must be feeling very stressed, right?

Me too before,

every time I feel short of breath, will come here,

and without purpose looking out of the palace.

Just pass through that wall, the outside world is wide open.

However, even when my brother alienated by injustice,

I can't meet him.

I wonder how it is possible survived all those years.

But now,

I too have been part of the palace, grow old with this place.

For me, the crown princess too like my own child.

However, for the sake of my descendants, I must told him to accept another woman.

So, what's the difference between me and you? the previous leaders,

that I used to hate so much.

I don't hold a grudge.

That is a thing indeed should be done.

Even though the head understands,

the heart still finds it hard to accept it, doesn't it?

Even though I try to comfort you with wise words,

this is all just a test that will pass,

I can't fully understand your feelings.

I'm not you,

vice versa.

I,

just hope you are happy.

Because the path to happiness,

just each one individually who can find it.

Your Honour.

Excuse me,

if you rest tonight at Kim's residence,

How?

I don't want to be anxious anymore with vain hopes.

Better leave it to other women who serves you.

I have to go out for a while.

Good grief.

Aren't you doing it too often? visit that place?

I still do my job, right?

What are you worried about?

I'll be back before the meeting.

So, don't worry.

Geez.

Are you flying a kite?

Yes.

When teaching children to read,

they look bored.

So I invited them to play for a while.

So much fun, huh?

With just a kite...

...those kids...

...has shown expression as if they owned the world.

They're still kids, so it's natural.

If only days like this can last longer,

how beautiful it is.

The children must not know who is His Majesty really, right?

Of course it has to be that way.

Okay.

So, for them, Your Majesty is...

That...

Rich people who have a lot of free time...

...and likes to have fun.

Is that how it will be?

Ah, wanna try flying it once?

Apparently you're bad too.

Isn't this a game? full of memories?

By the way…

Is it okay if Your Majesty often leave a place just like that?

Don't you have a lot of work?

Many.

But even so, I still have to go on living, right?

At least, after going out and breathe fresh air like this...

...I can survive for the time being.

If you think about it…

Things that determine happiness or someone's misery...

...are not extraordinary things.

It's a sunny day, so it feels nice.

Watching the children run and laughing like that is also fun.

There is someone by my side who wants to listen to my story...

...that was fun too.

Today is really a fun day.

Princess Hwa Jin was absent in the meetings we usually hold.

It feels weird.

Did the wedding go smoothly?

Yes.

I have received the news that he arrived safely.

Once he started to settle in, maybe he will contact us.

Ah...

One by one we started getting married…

I don't know how long we can still do it join this calligraphy meeting.

After marriage, of course it won't be possible free to go outside like before.

That's right.

No one like His Highness the Prince.

Even though they are married…

He still allows his wife attend these women's meetings.

Hear that, honey?

Marrying me is right decision, right?

What business is there, Your Highness the Grand Prince? until you come here?

Isn't this a calligraphy meeting? first since we got married?

So, I specially invite...

...Painter Kim as our painting teacher.

Are you going?

There are boundaries between men and women.

How could I leave Painter Kim? alone among women?

If you know there are limits between men and women…

Shouldn't you not bring it? a man here?

Isn't Painter Kim a man?

That's why I came to keep an eye on him.

My wife,

By the way, when was this painting? will be finished?

Still a long time.

Ouch…

How many seasons has it been? are we sitting in the same place?

What's fun from painting this?

Good grief!

Instead of that...

...there are many other things which is more fun.

Ah, damn, Brother!

Because of Brother, I can't concentrate on painting!

Can't you just shut up for a moment?

Why don't you try getting married first?

- You won't be able to keep quiet either! - Good grief!

By the way,

on the way to today's Calligraphy meeting,

I stopped by Changwoon for a while,

but the door was closed, whether the shop is closed or not.

Oh, I see?

His Majesty is looking for Lee Mong Heon, author of Chun Hwa Love Story.

Cheongwoon Gisaeng House usually sell the book,

I'm worried that maybe Mrs. Park was arrested for that.

It seems like the atmosphere is unusual.

My father too...

...has reminded us many times to be careful in your actions.

Likewise in our house.

I think Chun Hwa Love Story...

...is just a collection of romance stories which is popular among women.

But it looks like this will be big problem.

Cheongwoon Gisaeng House like a gathering place for women.

Hopefully nothing happens.

Did you come to order clothes?

Because there was a problem with Mrs. Park,

Cheongwoon Gisaeng House will not be opened for the time being.

What is the problem?

For now, please log in first.

My father is looking for a writer Chun Hwa's Love Story.

Is it possible...

...Mrs. Park was arrested for that?

Yes.

We don't even know who is the original author,

so i think...

...they are just wholesalers, so it should be safe.

But as the arrests continue over the past few days,

I'm starting to get worried too.

It seems like...

...I have to step in.

How could you...

So far...

...I am the one who printed Chun Hwa Love Story,

and spread it among the people.

I am the one.

No need to be surprised.

Across the country,

if not someone with an influence like mine,

how is it possible so quickly...

...print and distribute popular writings?

Even if you're not the painter,

The Influence of Chun Hwa Love Story...

...which has spread widely in society is not small.

Responsibility for this publication also cannot be underestimated.

I am ready to face the consequences.

People like Hwa Ing...

...relying only on power to oppress the people,

at least in the book, he should be punished.

Only then, people's anger can be suppressed.

I'm sure the author of the book felt,

not much different from me.

That is his hope and desire,

but there is no way to act in reality.

Maybe that's why he wrote a book like that.

I just help spread it.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

I will come back and see you again.

I heard you're looking for a publisher.

Main person responsible for publishing Chun Hwa's Love Story...

...is me,

Choi Hwan.

So it is true.

They only sell books in order to earn a living.

The responsibility for publishing lies with me,

So just punish me.

You don't even know that it is a sin,

and boldly print books who insulted the kingdom?

Are you really not afraid? lost life?

I did nothing wrong,

So what do I have to fear?

- What did you say? - You said I don't know my place.

But I am the one who knows my place best.

Before becoming a nobleman,

I am a trader.

As a trader, I only do profitable thing.

Why is that considered a problem?

I really don't understand.

Where do you dare to throw such rambling?

Perhaps...

...the content of Chun Hwa's Love Story...

...is it true?

Is not it?

Chun Hwa Love Story has been circulating among the people for a long time,

and when volumes one and two came out, there is no problem whatsoever.

But once volume three came out,

suddenly you are looking for the author.

Isn't that quite suspicious?

What is the story of the prince? from the Dongbangguk Kingdom,

who committed adultery with a palace maid...

...is actually Mr Hwa Ing's story?

What is this nonsense?

Right, isn't it?

That's just complete nonsense.

This book is purely a fictional story.

It has nothing to do with anything at all with reality.

However, because of this fictional story, the people are restless,

and morality is disturbed.

Who is the author?

Tell the truth!

I don't know.

The person with the pen name Lee Mong Heon who left it here.

As a trader, I just print it because I think it could be profitable.

I myself don't know who the author is.

How dare you lie!

So you really are not hiring that person?

I've come this far, So what's the point of me lying?

If investigated, everything will be revealed.

However,

what if we end this here?

That too would be an option which is better for you.

What?

The longer the time spent to seek...

...the original author of Chun Hwa Love Story,

the greater the possibility that people...

...will start to question same thing as me.

"What could it be...

...is this story true?"

That's what they'll think.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted among the people,

even something that is not reality...

...will turn into reality.

Is it possible...

...His Majesty the King wants that?

If the responsibility for this publication imposed on me,

I will take it back books that are already in circulation,

and return all profits to the government.

So please give me just one chance.

It's best to report all of this to Your Majesty,

and wait for his decision.

If you are responsible for this publication...

...surely you also know who is the writer Lee Mong Heon.

Say!

Who really is author of Chun Hwa Love Story?

Who's he?

I don't know, Your Majesty.

Whoever Lee Mong Heon is,

he is just...

...one of the many voices of the people led by His Majesty.

How could it be a wise king...

...holding back one voice of the little people...

...to the point of obscuring the voice of the heart all over the country?

How could I possibly defeat traders like you in debate?

However...

...no matter how small the people's voice is...

...insulting the royal family is a sin that cannot be taken lightly.

If you really know who is the author,

tell me the truth right now!

Really, I didn't know!

If not you, then who knows?

The author wrote the script and give it to you,

didn't you print it?

Lee Mong Heon never once,

appeared directly in front of me, even once.

Every time he just leaves...

...the original script in place which has been specified,

without asking for payment.

So, we never met.

What?

So you mean, he wrote dangerous books like this...

...without asking for wages?

Doesn't that just make it even more suspicious?

Your Honour,

perhaps Your Majesty still remembers,

that before when I...

...donating food aid,

His Majesty once promised me one thing.

Whatever your request...

...one day I will definitely...

...will help you.

I will never forget His Majesty's generosity.

Whatever I ask,

His Majesty promised will grant it just once.

That promise…

May I request it now here?

- What? Now? - Yes.

Forgive me, Your Majesty, although this is presumptuous…

I will withdraw all copies The circulating love story of Chun Hwa,

and responsible,

and hand over all the profits to the country.

Don't ask who the author is,

and please set me free.

Please remember the promise that has been made Your Majesty for that day,

and grant my request.

I beg you sincerely.

Ah.

Wait...

Why did you come so late at night?

Is there an urgent problem? in your transactions?

Should there always be a problem? to meet you?

I came because I wanted to meet you.

So...

...how was your day today?

I only...

...going through the same day as usual.

Yes.

Oh, I see.

Why don't you ask...

...how was my day today?

From now on,

Don't come here again.

Why suddenly say that?

The arrival of His Majesty...

...now...

...makes me uncomfortable.

Am I...

...have made a mistake?

His Majesty did not do any errors.

It is just...

...my heart...

...which is a problem.

Actually...

Your Honour...

...come without burden,

and just leave without any burden.

But over time,

I...

...can no longer act like before.

I can't meet anymore with His Majesty.

When you come,

I feel happy,

and if it doesn't come,

I'm waiting for you.

Just because of one simple sentence,

"I came because I wanted to see you,"

my heart is pounding.

I hate this feeling.

I hate myself...

...which always gives meaning on small things.

So,

Please, go away.

I feel the same way too the same as you.

At first I...

...don't know where to go and I think you will be here.

But I'm getting more and more...

...miss you after seeing you.

I'm happy when I see you.

All I can think about is how can i get out...

...and met you.

Can I greet your mother yet?

Yes.

Your Honour.

Doesn't anyone want to? Your Majesty tell me?

There isn't any.

If only...

...Your Majesty and I...

...meet in another world, with a different appearance...

...will we live? differently now?

What do you say for? such a thing now?

Then I'll go meet mother first.

Good grief!

I heard you were arrested.

Did everything end safely?

Good grief!

Of course!

Is there something? what can't be done with money?

My lord...

...has paid the ransom on behalf of the bookstore owner...

...and return all profits to the government,

so there is no more reason to hold us back.

You're here, apparently.

Yes.

Didn't I promise to come back? and see you again?

Why did you let Choi Hwan just like that?

You should find the author of Chun Hwa Love Story!

If released out, then he will step on his own tail.

There is no way the person is responsible published Chun Hwa Love Story,

don't know the original author, Lee Mong Heon.

After the King released him,

Surely now he can run wild without any worries.

If we continue to follow it,

we also naturally will be able to catch the original author.

I like the wind.

Don't you like it too much? the person sitting next to you?

I like it too.

I mean, I'm glad I got to meet you. with yourself being fine.

Apparently it's very difficult to be your candidate.

When are you actually going to...

...have that "faith" in me?

That...

It depends on you.

Isn't that too easy a path isn't it fun to go through?

I will try my best.

How could this happen?

Yes?

They can't even catch the writer,

who betrayed innocent people like me!

I'm the only one at a loss here!

We understand your feelings.

We all know...

...how sad you feel.

This is just a little test,

so look at us,

and calm your feelings.

Okay.

Hey!

What is this?

Even if you bribe and ask me for help,

I...

...powerless.

Good grief!

Do not say that!

Isn't Sir the only one? grandson of true power,

the Prime Minister?

Just think of this as our little sincerity,

and please remember us one day, later.

Is not that...

...college entrance exam will arrive soon?

Is it time now?

I guess there's nothing I can do,

but it will feel rough if I reject your sincerity,

so for now i will accept it.

Thank You.

Okay.

Let's see!

Why are there so many?

What is all this?

This is,

the work of the best genius painter in this city,

Kim Min Hong.

The price of one piece of calligraphy and painting,

equivalent to the price of a house a noble family.

Is Kim Min Hong's work that great?

He has not created yet a new work since taking office.

Because of the amount of artwork the least,

and most of it already has an owner,

we can't buy it even if we want to.

That's really it...

...a work that is hard to come by

Is it true?

Yes.

Whoever wrote this book,

definitely know what Hwa Ing is working on it!

Actually who...

Before the King knew it,

we have to find him as soon as possible!

Good.

No...

What's wrong, sir?

Is there anything strange?

I guess,

I have to take my leave first.

Good grief.

Okay, okay.

Oh my gosh where is it?

There isn't any!

Good grief!

CHUN HWA LOVE STORY

This bastard...

How dare you without fear,

draw something like that in the palace?

Do you think you'll be able to get away,

after doing something like this?

Catch him quickly!

- Good! - Good!

What brings you here, Brother?

Why did they arrest Master?

Kim Min Hong is...

...Lee Mong Heon.

Author of Chun Hwa Love Story,

is Kim Min Hong!

What?

What does it mean?

Look at this!

I found it!

There is also a picture of the Princess that he drew secretly!

There he is!

Quickly bring it here!

I knew it would be like this!

How dare you!

How dare you do this under our supervision?

Hear,

get rid of this person right now!

That is not true!

How could a teacher be erotic story writer?

That's not possible!

Isn't all the evidence already plain to see!

He said he was a famous gardener,

but apparently he is a hypocrite.

That person has been in secret all this time spying on the kingdom inside the palace,

and do things like this!

Outside, he acts like a great artist,

but behind it, he spreads vulgar things!

That's not possible!

That's not possible!

That's not true, right?

Teacher,

you are not the author of Chun Hwa's Love Story, right?

Even the Princess...

...is not the person.

We'd better go now.

Yes.

Your Honour.

It seems like,

Lee Mong Heon has visited.

Is that so?

THIS TIME I WILL DELIVER THE BOOK ITSELF

LET'S MEET IN THE EMPTY LAND TOMORROW MORNING

This time I will deliver the book itself,

let...

...we met in an empty field tomorrow morning.

Pleased to meet you.

I am a responsible person in publishing...
