For reference, he’s name is Lee Wan, while “Grand Prince Ian” is his royal title. Episode 3 Author Commentary "This is the episode where Wan and Heeju truly begin working together for the first time, trying to turn a scandal into something believable. I wanted it to feel as though Heeju was gradually intruding into—and softening—Wan’s carefully controlled world." Story Breakdown (Spoiler-Free) 1. Heeju and Grand Prince Ian enter the palace under the spotlight. Having already decided on a contract marriage, there is no turning back for either of them, so they immediately begin putting their plan into motion. Since the royal was never going to welcome their marriage, their first strategy is to shape public opinion before opposition can take hold. 2. Once inside the palace, Heeju becomes acquainted with the people of Anhwadang, including Chief Court Lady Choi. In front of them, Ian openly shows affection toward Heeju without hesitation. Part of it is, of course, meant to make their fake relationship look convincing. But at the same time, it is also his way of becoming a reliable ally for Heeju—a woman who suddenly finds herself inside the palace with no one familiar by her side. 3. Of course, Heeju is not the kind of person to feel intimidated just because she’s in the palace. Even in an unfamiliar place where she knows no one, she refuses to shrink herself. While Ian is away meeting with the Queen Mother, Heeju ends up eating ramen with the young king, who has come looking for Ian. Technically, a child king eating spicy instant noodles late at night—something that could easily upset his stomach—would be considered inappropriate and against palace decorum. But Heeju doesn’t think much of it. It’s one of those moments that reveals just how free-spirited she is. She knows nothing about the palace’s rigid customs, and frankly, she doesn’t care much for them either. Meanwhile, after finishing a tense confrontation with the Queen Mother, Ian scolds his aide, Choi Hyun, for leaving Heeju unattended. Maybe, in some ways, Ian worries about Heeju even more inside the palace than she would out in the wider world. A place surrounded by walls, rules, and hidden dangers feels far more suffocating than the freedom outside. 4. Ian soon finds out that Heeju ate spicy ramen with the king. Naturally, he scolds her, warning that if anything happened to His Majesty, she would be held responsible. At first glance, it might seem like an overreaction. After all, what’s the big deal about a child eating noodles late at night? But the real issue isn’t the ramen itself. In the palace, even something as trivial as late-night ramen can become ammunition. Grand Prince Ian is already being called the “21st-century Prince Suyang,” so the fact that he personally brought his fiancée into the palace is controversial enough. But what if that fiancée fed ramen to the young king as soon as she arrived, and then the king ended up getting sick afterward? If something like that happened, it is painfully obvious how the media would twist the story. Having lived in the palace his entire life, Grand Prince Ian is already very familiar with this kind of attack. In the end, the reason he scolded Heeju so harshly was because he was worried about her. Of course, our Heeju does not care much about that kind of atmosphere. Thinking Ian was getting upset over something trivial, she casually undoes the cufflinks of an irritated Grand Prince Ian. Just like in the earlier flirting scenes, Heeju is the kind of person who suddenly slips right into Ian’s personal space. It is not so much that the two of them have become especially close, but rather that Heeju herself is someone who is not intimidated by anyone except her father. That is why she can casually eat ramen with His Majesty and undo Grand Prince Ian’s cufflinks without hesitation. And interestingly enough, Ian doesn’t seem uncomfortable with it. His world has always been filled with people who speak carefully, bow politely, and treat him with formal distance. So perhaps Heeju—someone who never tiptoes around him—feels unexpectedly comfortable. 5. Heeju goes to see Grand Prince Ian, saying she wants to help him as he struggles through official duties until dawn. Watching him handle countless affairs of state, Heeju becomes curious for the first time—not about Grand Prince Ian, but about Lee Wan as a man. “Why are you marrying me?” Interestingly, it isn’t until midway through Episode 3 that Heeju truly begins wondering about Wan as a person. At first, Wan jokes that he’s simply tired of hearing people complain about royals wasting taxpayers’ money and decided to marry a rich junior. Then, he reveals his true feelings. “beauty.” And— “If I say I wish to ascend the throne, all would condemn me and hurl insults. But I believe you would understand me.” To someone like Seong Heeju—someone willing to go as far as entering a fake marriage to get what she wants—Wan believed that even if he desired something forbidden, she would willingly understand him. Personally, I think there is a hidden fear behind his words: a fear of the criticism and loneliness that would follow if he somehow ended up becoming king one day. Heeju is flustered by an answer she never expected, but she does not press him, asking whether he means it as a joke or seriously. They are not close enough for that yet, and at the same time, what he said is far too dangerous a statement to confront directly. And just like that, the two end up sharing yet another deep secret. Looking back, all three of Wan’s answers at that moment were sincere. The first was the sincerity of a member of the royal family. The second was the sincerity of a man. And the last was the sincerity of Lee Wan as a person. 6. Heeju has probably always been someone who fought alone. What’s interesting here is that Heeju can tolerate damage to herself, but she cannot tolerate damage to her company. To her, company is practically an extension of herself. Heeju has spent her entire life proving her worth through results and achievements. So in order to reclaim the company’s title as the industry leader, she became the kind of businesswoman who would not hesitate to use media play if necessary. That is why attacks against the company feel deeply personal to her—almost as if they are attacks against herself. Another interesting moment is how both Heeju and the Queen Mother react when Ian says, “Then have me questioned too.” Since this is a contract marriage, it makes sense for him to protect Heeju to some extent. But volunteering himself for investigation too? At this point in the story, that feels unusually excessive. That’s why Heeju pauses for a moment, looking at Wan with a subtle sense of, “Wait… what?” The Queen Mother reacts similarly. The difference is that, for her, this is the exact moment she founds Wan’s weakness. For someone like Heeju, who has always had to fight alone, this is the first time someone has stepped in front of her and told her to step back while he handled things instead. Of course, because it is a contract marriage and she has no idea how genuine Wan’s feelings are, Heeju simply interprets it as him pretending to be deeply in love. But even so, being protected by someone is a completely unfamiliar experience for her, and on a subconscious level, something inside her begins to shift. So when Wan starts doing reckless things, Heeju naturally ends up thinking: “Should I pull one to?” The two of them are gradually crossing boundaries, each using the contract marriage as a kind of excuse. Wan hides his feelings and uses the contract as a justification to get closer. Heeju senses something beneath his actions, but convinces herself, “Well, since this is part of the contract, I guess this much is normal.” Still, for Heeju, everything remains largely subconscious. Her feelings are only just beginning to grow, nurtured by the unfamiliar experience of finally being protected by someone. Heeju remembers that Wan has not been sleeping well, so she brings him tea and magnesium supplements, even asking if he has gone to the hospital. Truthfully, that care comes less from the duties of a contract wife and more from Heeju’s own natural kindness. But instead of acknowledging it seriously, she brushes it off with a playful joke: “Don't you think I'd be quite the supportive wife?” But for Wan—who has already fallen for her—it feels entirely diff Wan quietly watches Heeju as she chatters away beside him. The breeze is cool, red flower petals—so reminiscent of Heeju—drift through the air, and the dawn is still and quiet. No matter how one tries to explain it away, I think Wan was sincere in that moment. And then there’s the author’s commentary: “I wanted to recreate the balcony kiss scene from Romeo and Juliet, but with the genders reversed. Because the one trapped inside the palace is Wan.” Once you hear that, the symbolism of the scene feels even more meaningful. Heeju stands outside the wall, belonging to the freer world beyond it. Wan remains inside, confined by the palace. In that sense, the scene almost feels less like a romantic encounter and more like a brief moment where two completely different worlds finally meet.

For context, the room Wan gave Heeju was not a guest room or an annex—it was the main quarters (anchae, the inner quarters traditionally reserved for the wife of the house in a Joseon-era residence). From the very moment he brought her into Anhwadang, he gave her the anchae. And this happened before they had even officially acknowledged the dating scandal. From the perspective of the Anhwadang staff, that basically meant Heeju entered the residence as the future lady of the house from the very beginning. Giving someone the anchae is, in itself, practically a statement of marriage. That is also why the steward Kim immediately addressed Heeju as Your Ladyship(agissi-a term that, in this context, carries the nuance of a newly arrived young mistress of the household, almost like a new bride who has just married into the family.) from the start. Since Wan himself had given her the anchae, the people of Anhwadang were able to trust and accept Heeju very quickly. And Wan didn’t stop there—he also casually handed over his hopae to her. From the very beginning, he basically gave her everything important in his world lol.

18:40 that's not same place. He was at Jongmyo Shrine, and she must have gone to Gyeongbokgung Palace. They are about a 10-minute drive apart. Later, the court ladies mention that he rushed over in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to change his robes. And The room he provided for her is the Anchae (the women's quarters). It is the room where the mistress of the house resides.
