...
Jang Ok-Jung's mother was a slave, but her father was a
middle-class merchant seller. When she was a teen, her whole family went
on the run from slave hunters. Her older brother was lost during this
time. Her father was also beaten to death and Jang Ok-Jung's mother was
returned to her owner. Afterwards, Jang Ok-Jung lived with a friend of
the family, Madame Jung Kang (Yun Yu-Seon).
During this time she learned how to sew at Madame Jung Kang's linen
shop. She also met for the first time Crown Prince Lee Soon (later
played by Yoo Ah-In)
around this time. Crown Prince Lee Soon spotted pickpockets stealing
from Jang Ok-Jung and came to her aid. They spent a moment together
while taking shelter from the rain. Crown Prince Lee Soon fell in love
with Jang Ok-Jung then.
Even though Lee Soon was the Crown Prince, he was basically powerless at
the time. Power was actually wielded by the noblemen. This drove Lee
Soon to become a powerful king one day.
As an adult, Jang Ok-Jung runs her own clothing boutique named
"Booyongjung". Her handmade clothes become quite popular and in demand.
Jang Ok-Jung hopes to free her mother from slavery with her earnings and
eventually go to Qing with her.
Jang Ok-Jung then puts on a fashion show. Her mother's owner
attends the fashion show and ruins everything for Jang Ok-Jung. She
berates Jang Ok-Jung in front of all of her clients, informing everyone
her mother is a slave. After the show, Jang Ok-Jung's business quickly
goes downhill. A customer then requests Jang Ok-Jung to make clothes for
a royal family member, which she promises to do.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Lee Soon struggles to gain power from the nobility. He only trusts Prince Dongpyung (Lee Sang-Yeob). Lee Soon is now of age to marry. His mother and the man he despises the most, Nobleman Min Yoo-Joong (Lee Hyo-Jeong), decide that Lee Soon will marry nobleman Min Yoo-Joong's daughter Inhyun (Hong Soo-Hyun).
Inhyun has been raised to become a queen from a young age and she has
never once doubted her fate. Lee Soon's mother and Nobleman Min
Yoo-Joong are nervous though that Lee Soon may reject Inhyun due to her
father. Because of this, Crown Prince Lee Soon's mother and Nobleman Min
Yoo-Joong concoct a plan.
Crown Prince Lee Soon then sees a woman in the garden. That woman
is Jang Ok-Jung, who is waiting to take his measurements. Crown Prince
Lee Soon thinks she looks familiar, but he can't place where they have
met before. The Crown Prince then asks Jang Ok-Jung if they have met
before, but she says no.
Jang Ok-Jung later goes to her mother's owner to buy her freedom,
but the slave owner refuses. Jang Ok-Jung asks the slave owner for a
reason why her offer is refused and the slave owner tells her to go ask
her uncle Jang Hyun (Sung Dong-Il). Her uncle is a highly ambitious man, who hopes to use Jang Ok-Jung for his own ambitions.
Meanwhile, Prince Dongpyung, the man Crown Prince Lee Soon trusts
the most, takes an interest in Jang Ok-Jung. Prince Dongpyung then
arranges a party where he can spend more time with her. At the party,
Crown Prince Lee Soon is also there.
