In the final episode, the journey of Crown Prince Lee Kang (Kang Tae-oh), who lost his smile after losing his Crown Princess, and Park Dal-i (Kim Se-jeong), who lived as a merchant without any memories of her time as Crown Princess, was depicted as they regained their happiness.

Having recovered all their memories, Park Dal-i and Lee Kang defended each other against the conspiracy of the Prime Minister Kim Han-cheol (Jin Goo), who plotted a coup. The villain Kim Han-cheol ultimately paid the price for his ambitions with his life.

Having overcome all trials together, Lee Kang and Park Dal-i ascended to the positions of King and Queen, while Lee Un (Lee Shin-young), the Prince of Jeun, and Kim Woo-hee (Hong Soo-joo), the daughter of Kim Han-cheol, who had to part ways due to Kim Han-cheol's schemes, also reunited and ended with a happy ending as a married couple.
