The legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household lives a life as lowly as a blade of grass. Deep in the mountains, she saves a down-on-his-luck prince.
Before she can reveal her kindness, her legitimate elder sister steals her name and takes her place, claiming her fortune and the prince's promise. A man who prizes his word and loves deeply, he mistakes the wrong woman for his savior, showering her with affection and protection while treating the true benefactor like dust. Within the marquis's household, the heroine is tormented and framed day after day, bullied and humiliated, with no way to voice her grievances or confess her feelings. They are close enough to touch, yet separated by a mistaken identity. Their love is caught in an agonizing struggle, leaving their hearts unable to find peace, until the conspiracy is exposed and the truth comes to light. Consumed by regret, the crown prince casts aside his imperial pride and travels the world, hoping only to win back the woman he wronged for half her life.
