At present, Se-Gye asks Dan-Sim if she’s Dan-Sim. She guesses he talks nonsense because he drank. He reveals there’s a woman always appearing in his dream. An ancient palace maid who doesn’t have any friends and family. At first, he just treated it as an ordinary dream. But the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Because he thought the woman was her. He wonders if he’s crazy. She scolds him. She thinks he cannot distinguish between dreams and reality.
At the party, Dan-Sim keeps following Bu-Sun. Bu-Sun suggests that Dan-Sim should go to talk to some people. So she will get a commercial. Dan-Sim talks back that she wouldn’t sign with a talent agency if she needs to call out her face like a street vendor.

Se-Gye joins Dan-Sim when she’s checking the cake. She asks him if he’s fine. He reveals he dreamed of Mun-Do. The guy was a tyrant in the making in the dream. Dan-Sim realizes that it wasn’t just a dream. She wonders if Se-Gye can see the past.
Tae-Hee shows up. Se-Gye mentions what he said that they communicated via the secretaries before they broke off the engagement. Dan-Sim reminds Se-Gye that someone would hear it. He thinks he didn’t think it through. He will pay attention to it next time. Tae-Hee tells Se-Gye that she’s still his fiancee. Dan-Sim allows Se-Gye to hold Tae-Hee’s hand and walk around. She thinks they should grant Tae-Hee’s dying wish.

Se-Gye stops his girlfriend. He tells her that she should call Dal-Su chairman. She mentions he asked her to call him president. She can tell that he’s so sensitive about titles like an old relic. It’s the hereditary of his family.
Dal-Su is surprised that the model is so easy in front of the boss. Se-Gye explains that Dan-Sim was filming a costume drama. She got too caught up in the role.
Mun-Do leaves the party. He returns to his office. Nam-Jin reports to Mun-Do that Se-Gye’s image is gradually recovering. Mun-Do believes that Se-Gye rode on Dal-Su’s coattails.

He explains it to her that he has a toothache. She tells him that his teeth cannot take it because he chewed the candy. She thinks the good thing should be tasted slowly. The wealthy doesn’t know to cherish it. He holds her hand. He claims that he cherishes her very much. He didn’t eat her in one bite. She notices that he’s bleeding.

In Se-Gye’s dream, Grand Prince writes a love poem to Dan-Sim. But he cannot convey his feelings to her. Se-Gye wakes up in the ward. He doesn’t see Dan-Sim. He mistakes that she left. He thinks she’s heartless. Dan-Sim comes back after she went shopping. She looks out the window. She remembers she prayed for Grand Prince.
Dan-Sim enters the ward. She tells Se-Gye that she went to buy him some ice cubes. He notices that her hands are frozen stiff. He thinks she shouldn’t have taken the ice with her hands. She says that she should have done something. Because he cried out in pain. He tries to warm her hands with his hands. She asks him to lie in the bed. It will help her.
She tells him that he’s like a pufferfish. His cheeks are puffed out. She asks him if he had the dream again. He learns that she cares it a lot even if she said that it was ridiculous. He reveals the dream was a bit gloomy. He thinks it would be a sad ending. The prince was wronged, and he was locked up. He would be exiled.
Dan-Sim asks Se-Gye who he was in the dream. He says that he was Grand Prince. The man in the dream still had feelings for Dan-Sim like a fool.
The next day, Tae-Hee watches the news of her and Se-Gye at home. Her mother Joo-Mi suggests that she shouldn’t have worn the skirt. Because she would look short. Tae-Hee talks back that Joo-Mi has a sharp tongue even if she’s pretty. Joo-Mi blames Tae-Hee for not coming home after she returned to the country. She chased Se-Gye when she didn’t marry him. Tae-Hee says that she felt more at ease at the place. Nobody nagged in her ear. She asks Joo-Mi to invite her and Se-Gye over to the house.

They go to a restaurant. His tooth is better now. She brings up that he bled. She suggests that he should go to pick some herbs. But he doesn’t believe those things. He notices that the place is really noisy. But she prefers to be noisy. He reminds her that she’s a star. So she shouldn’t be recognized by someone. He asks her not to stay out too late. She’s furious to yell at him. She says that she’s not a kid. He dares to manage her. He thinks he should manage her since they’re in the flirting period. He thinks he should have the exclusive rights.
She gives a cold laugh. It’s still a long way off. He tells her that he will take care of his grandpa. She doesn’t have to worry about it. He will resolve the marriage. She mentions the newspaper said that the case worked in his favor. She thinks he doesn’t have to be careful to read her expression. He yells at her. He says that he’s not the person who would read people’s expressions. She points out that he did a good job in front of his grandpa. He explains it to her that he did it to make his grandpa have a good impression on her.
She mentions his grandpa really likes the fox. She admits that the fox really has powerful connections. He’s surprised that she gave the nickname to Tae-Hee. He comforts her that he doesn’t need the powerful connections. After all, he’s outstanding. He mentions he does a good job on his own. But she reminds him that since ancient times, the first to stick their neck out gets shot. He’s too outspoken. He will be all alone and have a sad ending. She has seen this kind of thing plenty of times.
Se-Gye takes Dan-Sim home. She asks him to be careful of Mun-Do. He shouldn’t trust anyone. He says that he will take care of himself. But she tells him that the world isn’t that simple. There’re many people lining up to play a trick on him. He actually still has the energy to flirt with her. Lost in romantic entanglements. But he says that the world has gone to hell. So he doesn’t have to make things so complicated. He thinks there’s nothing in the world to regret as long as he has no lingering attachments.
But he doesn’t understand her. He guesses he does it because he likes her too much. She stops him. She thinks he’s a loser. He asks her not to appear in his dreams. She asks him what he will do if it’s not a dream.
The next day, Dan-Sim goes to the History Museum. She looks at the Plum Blossoms painting. She remembers she buried Grand Prince deep in my heart after she completed the painting. She runs into the history student. In Se-Gye’s office, Se-Gye asks Jae-Han if he believes in past lives. Jae-Han says yes. Because he’s a Buddhist. Se-Gye reveals someone told him that she comes from the past. Jae-Han tells Se-Gye that it’s a cult. Se-Gye regrets for telling the dream to Dan-Sim.
Back to the History Museum, Dan-Sim sees the painting Grand Prince painted for her. She sees the love letter he wrote to her. She recognizes the painting. Because the girl in the painting holds the knife that Grand Prince gave her.
It flashes back. Grand Prince is exiled. Dan-Sim tries to join him. But King stops her. He tells her that she should conceal her feelings if she wants to live. He gives the knife to her. He asks her to let the stuff witness her struggle to survive.
