Synopsis

The Empress (Myung Se Bin) is in her early 30s, but she is still not married. Since, the 1st successor to the throne died, the royal family is in search for a new successor. Incidentally, they come to know of a young man who was in fact a son of the prince to a woman who left the Palace for her to be able to keep her pregnancy a secret. The young man's name was Lee Hoo (Se7en), more commonly known to his friends as Kang Hoo. Lee Hoo worked as a delivery boy at a Chinese restaurant, and was known for his 7-minute maximum delivery time. Lee Hoo had been brought up as more of a punk than a prince so his habits and his way of conversing were very different from the people of royal blood. Although he had never dreamt of living in the Palace, he one day finds himself immersing himself in its grandeur and improving himself to prove that he indeed deserves to be called the Successor to the throne.

He soon finds out that not only will he be facing lessons to the path of royalty, and dilemmas of love and of stature, but he will also learn to compete for the position he had been, first and foremostly, called for.

 <!--DO NOT POST PLAGIARIZED SUMMARIES!-->
-Hoo is a guy who likes to play around but not take responsibilities. One day, after almost being abducted and killed, he learns about his royal blood that was kept from him all of his life. The Empress is thirty, an age beyond what normal people would consider the marrying age, and she is pressurized by the Royal Council to choose an heir to the throne. Jun is the perfectly candidate – his broad knowledge and swift martial arts skills do not describe the depth of his genius, but the Empress does not trust him, for his father is an ambitious man and would do anything to get to the throne. Jun is engaged to the beautiful and talented Sae Ryung, someone who can match him in intelligence and excellence, and her goal is to the First Lady, and allying with Jun is the perfect plan. Once Hoo showed up in the picture, Jun's father felt threatened and he started to use many dirty tricks to prove to the media and the people that Hoo is not fit for the job, even bringing up the attack on Hoo's mother, who mysteriously left the palace while pregnant. Hoo is determined to find out the reason and wash clean his mother's "crimes," so he has given up everything that is precious in his life to become the proper prince. Hoo gave up his free life, his friends, and most importantly, his love for his childhood friend, who is a maid in the palace, Yang Soon Ae. Soon Ae's innocence and purity of heart has touched many, including Jun, who has decided to earn her heart at any cost.
