In the palace, Dan-Sim watches a painting in her room in My Royal Nemesis episode 8. Grand Prince joins her. He guesses the blooming plum blossoms in summer make her feel uneasy. He takes a look at the painting. He says that he prefers the blooming plum blossoms in winter. She remembers the girl said that Grand Prince was going to get married. He asks her to take the painting to the window to dry it.
What Kind of Crazy World Is This?
It’s raining. Dan-Sim asks Grand Prince if he likes the rain. He asks her if she doesn’t like it. She complains it to him that it’s muddy everywhere. Her skirt is soaking wet. She cannot wash the clothes. There’s no maid liking the rain.
Grand Prince gets caught in the rain outside. Dan-Sim runs to him. She asks him to go back to the house. She worries that he will catch a cold. She tries to shield him from the rain with her hand. But he holds her hand. He lets her feel the refreshing atmosphere. But she thinks she will be sick if she continues to be refreshing. He tells her that she won’t die. But girls are different. He shields themselves from the rain with the clothes she prepared. He asks her to run.
At present, Dan-Sim and Se-Gye are in the lobby. The reporters surround them. Dan-Sim tells Se-Gye that she wants to protect him. But he thinks they’re dying together. She grabs his hand. She tells him that it’s fine as long as they’re together. She takes a look at the flash. She thinks it’s very dazzling that he’s on her side.
Dan-Sim and Se-Gye walk out of the company. Dan-Sim admits it to the reporters that she’s the lead role of the gossip. Se-Gye is the boss of her agency. She promises that the guy didn’t drink that night. She can swear with her life. That night, he accompanied her as her manager. It caused the misunderstanding.
The reporter asks Dan-Sim if she’s denying the rumor. What they did on the beach at midnight. Dan-Sim says that they were for the stone. She takes out the stone from her pocket. They worried that they would be punished after they picked the stones. Se-Gye suggested that they should have put the stone back. But Dan-Sim was drunk. She forgot the stone. She promises the reporters that she will put the stone back as soon as possible. She decides to make Se-Gye’s good deeds public to clear up the misunderstanding.
Se-Gye plans to donate half of the proceeds from the commercial shoot. It shows his magnanimous spirit. Dan-Sim tells the reporters that she has a boyfriend. The guy has a good looking face. She asks them not to speculate and spread rumors about the matter.
Dan-Sim returns to the lobby. She checks the news about her. Se-Gye asks her if she wants to kill herself. But she thinks her plan worked. It’s a series of clever schemes. She uses the beauty trap to divert the enemy’s attention. She uses the ploy of self-inflicted suffering to turn the tide. Combine these strategies buying them some time. They should catch the chance to plan a counterattack.
But he asks her if she knows how much is half of the proceeds? She thinks she doesn’t have to know it. The richer people are, the more they tend to be penny-pinching. He talks back that everyone was waiting to watch him go down. He makes a donation, but his company is gone. She tells him that it’s just his imagination. The world doesn’t revolve around him. She offers to go to eat something.
Dan-Sim and Se-Gye eat at the restaurant. She notices that he’s enjoying the meal. He mentions he could handle it. He doesn’t understand why she wanted to interfere. It makes things more complicated. She thinks she shouldn’t have just watched it. He was almost ripped to shreds by a pack of hungry wolves. He thought she was going to make a sensational statement. He worried that she would tell the media that she was his girl. He worried that she would be tainted by a bad reputation. She claims that she has a brain. So she wouldn’t be so reckless. She doesn’t want to be labeled that she’s someone’s girl.
It flashes back. Dan-Sim is questioned why the valuable is in her hand. The jade is priceless. It’s as an offering even during the Qing Dynasty. The court lady thinks Dan-Sim lied. She orders the maids to drag Dan-Sim out and whip. But another court lady tells Dan-Sim that she will forgive her as long as she says that she had an affair with Grand Prince.
The court lady visits Dan-Sim in the prison. She knows she has feelings for Grand Prince. She tells her that the guy has many maids like her. She thinks he toyed with her with sweet talk. Dan-Sim doesn’t believe that Grand Prince would do so. The court lady reminds San-Sim that Grand Prince won’t survive since he became a thorn in his brother’s side. She asks her to make a choice.
At present, Dan-Sim tells Se-Gye that she won’t cowardly hide behind a man even if she stands at the crossroads of life and death again. He thinks she doesn’t have to be so tragic at the potato soup restaurant. She claims that she’s just making her position clear. She asks him to remember that she will only stand tall on her own. She won’t compromise.
Dal-Su is at home. He wonders how his son will handle it. Tae-Hee visits him. She tells him that she wants to help him. Dan-Sim and Se-Gye walk out of the restaurant. He blames her for paying the bill. He says that he never let a girl do that. He thinks it’s not a date. She claims that she won’t freeload. Because freeloading people will go bald. He tells her that girls won’t go bald. She says that females cannot get rid of the problem of hair loss. She didn’t watch short videos anymore. She began to read newspapers.
Se-Gye sees the news that Tae-Hee admits she’s dating Se-Gye. Dan-Sim mistakes that someone scolded Se-Gye. She wants to help him scold back. But he puts his cell phone into his pocket. He suggests that they should focus on reality. He offers to go to eat noodles.
In the car, Dan-Sim remembers the boy and the girl want to eat noodles at midnight. She tells Se-Gye that she’s full. She doesn’t want to eat noodles. He says that it’s not ordinary noodles. It opens 24 hours a day. She tells him that she’s not ready for it. She asks him to return the cell phone to her.
Dan-Sim and Se-Gye eat noodles by the river. He notices that she’s disappointed. He asks her if she wants to eat other noodles with him. He persuades her to feel the view. It reminds her Grand Prince. In the car, Nam-Jin complains it to Mun-Do that Se-Gye’s scandal has died down. Mun-Do mentions there were two girls riding white horses to save Se-Gye.
Se-Gye takes Dan-Sim to see the Mermaid Statue. He tells her that it’s for making a wish. Wishes will come true once she touches the mermaid’s nose to make a wish. But she says that she won’t be fooled. He walks away to pick up a phone. Jae-Han reports to Se-Gye that Tae-Hee wants to talk to him in person. Se-Gye learns that his grandpa and the girl joined forces. Jae-Han thinks it’s a good thing. Because the stock price rose.
Se-Gye doesn’t know how to explain it to Dan-Sim. He believes that she won’t let it go. She blames him for two timing. She chokes him. He thinks it’s a good thing that she throws a fit to him. She cries. She doesn’t expect that she’s going to be a lowly concubine. He doesn’t want to see her crying.
Se-Gye comes back. He finds out that Dan-Sim is making a wish. He thanks her for helping him. He thinks her explanation was very smooth. He’s surprised that he’s so good in her eyes. He asks her if she wants him to be her lover. She thinks they shouldn’t play hard to get since they know each other’s feelings. She allows him to flirt with her. She knows flirting is a test. She offers to have a test. She guesses the test will be a good marriage.
He’s surprised that he needs to take the probationary period. But he agrees with it. He thinks they shouldn’t have secrets. He tries to confess it to her. But she tells him that she understands it all. He tells her that it’s just a business tactic in their circle. He claims that it’s not what he wants. He feels wronged that he has a fiancee.
The next day, Dan-Sim gets angry on the roof when she sees the news of Se-Gye and Tae-Hee. She thinks the two are despicable. She’s sowing seeds. Gwang-Nam asks her when they will eat it since it’s not seedlings. She says that she’s not for eating. She’s dissipating her own killing intent. She will let the guy be killed as long as he dares to provoke her. Gwang-Nam sees the newspapers. He thinks Se-Gye and Tae-Hee are a perfect match.
Se-Gye returns home. Dal-Su and Tae-Hee are waiting for him. Se-Gye asks Dal-Su to go to the study with him. But Dal-Su rejects it. Because Tae-Hee will be their family soon. Tae-Hee tells Se-Gye that he doesn’t have to worry about the controversy. He scolds her for contacting his grandpa. She learns that she was too impatient. She worried that Se-Gye would be plagued by rumors. So she was in a hurry to move it forward.
Outside the house, Tae-Hee claims that she just moved up the announcement date. She didn’t discuss it with him. She wanted him to escape the rumors fast. He tells her that she misunderstood it. He doesn’t intend to use the arranged marriage to clean up his image. He doesn’t need it anymore. She figures it out that it’s because of the girl, Shin Seo-Ri. He admits that he only cares for Seo-Ri. He asks her not to announce any news. She asks him why he went on a blind date.
It’s not polite to her or the person he likes. She knows he and Seo-Ri didn’t get together too long. A love relationship will rapidly heats up if it finds the right connection. But cooling down happens in the blink of an eye. She will wait for him.

Se-Gye walks out of his office. Jae-Han asks Se-Gye if Dan-Sim is fine. He believes that Dan-Sim won’t accept it with her temper. Se-Gye reveals the girl said that she wouldn’t care for the fiancee who he didn’t love. He thinks she is pretty and understanding. It promotes Jae-Han to think that Se-Gye is a fool.
