I will take care of the marriage.
Why have you changed your mind?
Let's call it an unpaid debt.
Because you two couldn't get married, I'm taking responsibility.
Matchmaker, what responsibility do you bear?
I am responsible as a matchmaker for not fulfilling my duty.
-Are you confident? -What do you mean?
Your Majesty is not Kim Soo, a mere nobleman.
Even if you know you are king of this country,
do you intend to have Gae Ddong with you?
That is...
It's my duty to clear the path, but the choice is hers to make.
So, Your Majesty, you will personally have to win Gae Ddong's heart.
In exchange, please keep this a secret until I am ready.
Am I not still a figurehead king who has difficulty protecting himself?
When I can protect Gae Ddong.
I will tell her myself.
I understand.
Be wary of the Prime Minister.
Do you know the Prime Minister?
Is there anyone in this country who doesn't know the Prime Minister?
Father, I will protect her no matter what.
Do not touch her!
Do not touch even a single fingertip on this young lady.
He was just talking.
When someone is in trouble, is there anything you wouldn't say?
I know. I said I know.
I also know I must go back. I know but...
Don't get hurt.
What?
What can I do? I keep thinking about that.
I know you aren't sleeping. I need to talk to you so come out for a moment.
Do you still want to learn to become a noble lady?
Why ask? You won't help me.
I'll give it to you. That opportunity.
Are you sure?
I will take you to Kim Soo's side.
Are you saying... to Soo?
Don't you want to become a noble lady so that you can be with him?
I will let your scandalous lies be known and sell both you and your brother.
Now that you found Kim Soo, once you find your brother you should return.
To where, do you mean?
To where? Back to your original place of course.
♫ I swallow what I wanted to say, and it hurts ♫
♫ it hurts ♫
Will you not regret it? Your life will change.
I will not regret it.
Alright. It'll be better if you prepared yourself since I'm quite harsh.
♫ I thought this would never happen to me, this pounding, this trembling ♫
♫ I don't dislike it ♫
If this is the original place that you meant I should return to,
I will do so.
The Annals of Flower Crew, Article 15. Regarding a client's marriage a matchmaker
must not have personal feelings. I must not.
I cannot.
Episode 10. Love Hidden Within the Heart.
Episode 10 Marguerite Daisy.
A noble lady? How can she become a noble lady?
Kim Soo became a nobleman.
Kim Soo?
If you're talking about Kim Soo,
he's the guy that put us completely out of business.
You found him?
Be careful what you say, if you don't want to regret this moment later.
Ah, what?
Do you think I'll be nervous that a unlucky guy like him became a noble?
I warned you clearly.
Anyway, we're in charge of Gae Ddong's remarriage.
So you'll be in charge of her appearance.
She must look like a noble's daughter, no matter who looks at her.
No matter what Kim Soo or Park Soo became,
it'd be quicker if I transformed into a noble lady.
I'm for it.
Didn't we already do this once before?
Are you two really going to be like this?
Once we take on a marriage, we must take responsibility for it until the very end.
What do you mean responsibility,
we almost went completely out of business because of her.
Anyway, I won't be doing this.
Ten brand new products. Whatever you choose, I'll gift you ten of them.
It's alright if you don't want them though.
Ah, who said that I didn't want them?
I'm not doing this for the brand new products.
I'm doing this because I feel bad for her.
I want to help her, that's all. To help her.
No matter what, it's always about those brand new products.
-What about you? -As you know, I'm always in the same position.
But, we're putting things back in their original place.
So why is your expression like that?
If someone saw, they'd think you got your bride stolen away from you.
What do you mean stolen? I feel like a burden's been lifted!
Is that right? But do you know anything about the king?
-The king? -I got a request. But it's "DDN."
-DDN? -I dig, and dig, and get nothing.
How was he living and working? What does he look like?
How did he rise to the throne? We don't have any information on him.
Why are you asking me what you don't even know?
I had a feeling that if I asked you, you would definitely know.
For some reason, you just smell fishy.
How is my sister-in-law?
I wouldn't know. I just lent her an empty room.
It doesn't matter to me how she feels.
Just close the door on your way out.
You use the courtesan house like it's your home. So why are you sleeping here?
But do I even have a home? Wherever I lie down, that is my home.
Your Majesty, it's Eunuch Jang.
You may come in.
You're here?
Why have you summoned me to your bedroom?
What do you mean? Don't you already know?
Huh?
I will no longer hide this from you. That way,
you won't search my bedroom anymore.
I've committed a sin punishable by death, Your Majesty.
If you must die over such a small thing,
you wouldn't live long even if you had 100 bodies.
Your Majesty.
You should just continue to do your work.
But please keep this a secret from the Prime Minister.
If even you change, I'll be too lonely.
-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty, there is a big problem.
Your Highness, this is the digestive medicine
that the palace doctor has prepared.
All right. Ask him to prepare more, because my body became sicker.
More? Ah, yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness, His Majesty is here.
Mother, are you alright?
Have you come, Your Majesty?
Please stay lying down.
How did your body become so ill?
It is probably because my heart is so ill.
Appreciating the effort of one of our people is being delayed.
This is all because I lack strength.
Yes, Mother, the ones who deserve praise should receive it.
When the Virtuous Woman is rewarded in full view of others,
they will also not be able to look down on you, Mother.
Please give me the opportunity to do my filial duty to you.
Your Majesty, that's not what I mean...
How difficult it must be for you, in this huge palace, when you are so delicate?
I will show more concern for you from now on.
Your Majesty?
Then I will assume that you have accepted my sincerity,
and take my leave now.
Yes, that's fine.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by My Fair Lady Team { Viki.
He seems to be more thoughtful and considerate than I thought.
Gae Ddong, I will survive in here.
I will survive and open a path for you to come to me.
These are your teachers who will make you into a noble lady in the next 15 days.
Please take good care of me.
Whether you become a noble lady or not is entirely up to you.
I will only tell you these three things.
First, if you receive three strikes, there will be no chances.
How can you do that?
Second, you are forbidden from leaving.
Starting now you cannot take a single step out of this place without my permission.
I can't even walk where I want with my own two feet?
Last, you may not talk back to your teachers.
If you are not confident, you can give up. This is your last chance to back out.
For me, this is my last chance, too.
-Hurry up and come. -I don't want to.
I can't come to see you for a while, Orabeoni.
So eat well and be well.
Don't get hit again.
Gae Ddong will come to take you away, soon.
Oh, so hot.
Eight, nine, ten.
Let's take a look.
Three Months, when was the last time you took a bath?
Hey, hey, don't count, stop counting. I got my answer.
This is water brewed from citron seeds, so have a long soak and scrub yourself well.
I'm clean enough. I heard Mr. Lee only bathes on Thanksgiving.
-Hold this. -What is this?
Egg white pack, egg whites help restore glow to your skin.
You want me to wear all of these?
This is only the beginning.
Come on.
Change your clothes and come out.
Something is missing.
Do you want me to change my clothes again?
-What is it? -Indeed,
-your face is the problem. -What?
I am grateful you've provided me with a place to stay.
But if such a handsome and intelligent young man
spends all his time in a courtesan house,
your mother must be worried.
My mother who abandoned her child to run off with a man,
would she have time for such worries?
Must you go this far to remarry?
Yes, I must.
It is a path on which you step on the future of your child.
So I pray that it is a flower path.
Mother, please open the door. Mother, Mother! Please open it.
Mother, Mother...
Lord, Lord!
Let's go inside.
You must make an appointment. I'm quite busy, you see.
-Where is Hwa Jeong's mother? -How would I know that?
After my cousin's funeral, I haven't seen her even once.
There is a limit to my letting you off easy because you are my child.
People are saying that this is your world, Father, but isn't it a coincidence?
The world became yours after the crown prince passed away.
What is it that you want to say?
I'm just congratulating you.
Bring Hwa Jeong's mother to me.
If you damage our family's reputation,
I will not hold back, even if it's my child.
Have you searched thoroughly?
How about searching a bit more? You might find what you're looking for.
I don't know what you are talking about. Then, goodbye.
Please stop disturbing the Lord's mood.
It seems you became a son of our family while I wasn't looking.
How about a handshake, since we are now brothers?
Looks like you've been injured.
-I was scratched by a cat. -Is that so?
Better be careful. Next time, you might get bitten by a tiger.
So what happened?
She is not here.
Of course, there is no way she would be. For now, monitor Hwa Jeong.
Those two will definitely communicate with each other.
Eat slowly.
Someone who gives me yummy food, a good person.
Half-Wit, if you mess up one more time,
there will be no more food or anything. Got that?
His face is really alright, if only he doesn't open his mouth.
What did I just think? I'm just desperate for a man, that's why.
Young Miss has to get married before I can marry, too. But she is too arrogant.
The Prime Minister's son isn't good enough for her, and not even the king himself.
Is it yummy? Eat slowly.
In all my life, I've never been served a table like this one.
Can I really eat all this?
Yes, it's all yours.
I will enjoy it.
-If you can eat it, that is. -What will you do to me now?
Follow these instructions. You must never scoop such a large amount onto your spoon.
You must not make any sounds.
You should not chew too slowly, nor too quickly.
Isn't this the ribs that only rich nobles eat? Beef ribs.
What are your chopsticks for?
One chopstick must be held inside of your thumb and your fourth finger.
The other chopstick should be held with your second and third finger,
and be moved like this.
You only use the second and third finger to move it.
Like this.
Sit up straight and be about one fist's distance away from the table.
L-l-like this?
Like this.
I will do it myself. Let me.
Mr. Matchmaker? A guest has come.
Someone is calling for you. Go.
Practice what I taught you until I return.
Concentrate... concentrate.
With all these delicacies, why can't I eat? Why?
I'll just tell him I did practice.
That is Strike One.
You should at least feed me as you teach me.
Please give this to Lady Im.
Who sent this?
If you tell her that it's from the owner of the wall, she will know.
I will take my leave.
Owner of the wall?
Is this a love letter, by any chance?
Then did she refuse all the groom candidate we picked for her
because of that young master?
So the eunuchs had a gathering here two days ago.
They say that the king was a blacksmith before he came to the palace.
In Bukjeong Village.
And he thought the Head of the Royal Guard was his father for 20 years.
The king was a blacksmith?
That woman will scream and faint.
Your client was a woman?
To me, you are the only woman.
Then we will go to float Chinese Wish Lanterns on July 7th?
A blacksmith from Bukjeong Village.
Bukjeong Village...
Matchmaker Do?
What brings you here?
Please ask Sister-in-law to come.
Thank you, Brother-in-law.
Sister-in-law, I will not help you with your marriage.
You don't really intend to remarry, do you?
The one who needs to marry is Hwa Jeong, isn't it?
How... did you...?
When I heard that you were exchanging letters with Hwa Jeong,
I thought something was strange.
I know that you are close with your daughter, but while she still lives there,
must you really leave a paper trail that may be found out by your in-laws?
So those letters were for someone else.
There is no young man in our household who could be that man who gave me this letter.
And the jade ring that he was wearing...
that ring is given to the women who are born in the Ma family.
So Hwa Jeong must have given hers to her fiancé.
Once you receive the Virtuous Woman award,
you were afraid that Hwa Jeong would be submitted as a candidate for queen.
So that is why you left home claiming to want to remarry.
Yes,
Hwa Jeong
does have a fiancé.
That young man fulfilled Hwa Jeong's heart in a way that I could not.
For women, marriage means that she must enter a strange household
and serve it for the rest of her life.
On such a lonely road, shouldn't she have at least one person on her side?
So Brother-in-law, please help me
so that my daughter's happiness is not stolen by the ambition of the Ma family.
My nephew's wife is at a courtesan house, I hear.
A courtesan house?
-Court Lady Choi? -Yes, Your Highness.
-Take the palace maids and go bring Hwa Jeong's mother here. -Yes.
You must not. What kind of place is a courtesan house?
That is where all the government officials have their secret meetings.
So palace maids will storm such a place? What if His Majesty hears about it?
Then what am I supposed to do?
There are only two days left
before she must make her appearance at the Royal Court.
I have my ways.
You will write what I tell you, with this handwriting. Can you do that?
Yes.
Then begin writing.
Does that taste good?
It's been fermented for several days, so it's very sweet.
Soo Yeon.
It's been a long time, Lord.
Matchmaker Ma, how did you know to come here?
Isn't it the death anniversary for Lady Soo Yeon?
I'm grateful that you remembered.
I plan to send away Soo Yeon for real, now.
Leaving her name as a living person on my family register...
Ho-juk-dae-jang: Family register
...that was my greed.
Please don't change that.
There is someone who needs that name on the register.
I came to collect on that favour, from that time.
My Soo Yeon's last wish was to be a bride.
No one would agree to do this,
but thanks to you, Matchmaker Ma, my Soo Yeon's wish was granted.
It's a fake marriage with a fake groom,
but I prepared this wedding as if it were real.
So, you should smile, too, Lord.
It's a happy day, isn't it?
I am truly grateful.
I will make sure to repay you this favour someday.
Like Lady Soo Yeon, she is a girl who is compassionate,
and always on the losing end.
So that she can use your daughter's name to experience a good world,
please give that girl a chance.
I can finally breathe.
How do noble ladies even live like this?
Do you mean, like this?
Like this.
Think only about Orabeoni. Just Orabeoni.
Just Orabeoni.
Is anyone here?
I think something must have happened to Lady Hwa Jeong.
What?
Mother, something urgent has happened.
I have something I must tell you
so please visit home briefly.
You must come,
Mother.
You did well.
She wouldn't be able to hold herself back from returning.
What must we do?
Then I...
You cannot take a single step outside without my permission.
Where did everyone go at a time like this?
Then I will go to visit Madam, please watch over the young lady.
Yes.
I was able to coax one of the slaves in that house
and he said that the Prime Minister is secretly looking for his nephew's wife.
So she refused the Virtuous Woman award and ran away?
Lord Prime Minister, imagine a flaw in your pure white surface.
How crappy you must be feeling right now.
Father, it's Ji Hwa.
You may come in.
Did you ask for me?
Go and get yourself measured at the fabric shop.
Why, suddenly...?
When the Order of Selection comes,
green jackets and pink skirts are bound to be in high demand.
So how about having them made beforehand?
I never agreed to be a candidate for the selection of the queen.
I'm not interested in your opinion.
I'm also not interested in this family's opinion.
-Ji Hwa. -I
am but a woman whose life will be controlled
by a man, aren't I?
So, I will decide whom I will marry, at the very least.
She should have been born as a son.
Are you going somewhere, Young Miss?
I will go alone, so don't follow me.
Young Miss, it's dangerous to go alone.
Young Miss.
Why did she come here, of all places?
Did you come to see me?
Please get out of my way.
You seem shy around me, for some reason.
Did you think about that day, too, Young Lady?
I do not know what you are talking about. Please get out of my way.
There is something I found out about the king.
How about a secret conversation together where it's quiet and private?
Mother. I am ill...
You ran here to give this to me?
It seemed urgent.
A good young lady like this should have a good man.
Oh, did that problem get solved?
That problem?
The foolish customer.
She agreed to return to her fiancé who's been waiting for her.
It turned out well, didn't it?
It did turn out well for everyone, except for her, that is.
This is a quiet and private place.
If we both concentrate on our conversation, it becomes private.
Does it feel more private now?
You have a talent for making me feel unpleasant each time I see you.
Others call that 'charm.'
Looks like I wasted my time.
The king's name is Soo. As you know, it's "Yi" for "plum" and "soo" for "water."
He was born in the year of Jeong-Yoo,
the month of Gi-Yoo and the date of Moo-Shin.
So he is 23 this year.
So did you bring me here to tell me something that everyone knows already?
You are so impatient.
Based on those at the palace, before he ascended the throne,
he was a blacksmith in Bukjeong Village.
You have more than enough spirit to hold and shake all of Joseon with your fist.
Why are you so fixated on your husband-to-be?
What's the big deal about being a queen?
Because he is at the highest position.
Of course, all you do is collect information
in a courtesan house day and night.
What would you know?
What is this mess?
Big Unni.
Where is Gae Ddong?
I don't know. I returned home and the yard was a mess and no one was here.
I told you to watch Gae Ddong, where are you wandering around?
Why are you getting upset at me?
Just where have you been?
-Well... -I told you clearly that you were forbidden from leaving.
You can't even wear your shoes properly. How can you accomplish anything like this?
If you're going to do such a bad job, quit right now.
Can you hear me out?
Well, even if you don't give up, you will be cast out anyway.
Now that you have two strikes.
I want to do well, too.
I'm making an effort...
I have to sit and stand over and over until my legs cramp,
and you've tied my waist so I can barely breathe,
and because I can't use chopsticks, you won't let me eat at all, so I'm so hungry.
I'm working this hard. This is all new for me, so what am I supposed to do?
Do you know what it's like to not have the time to eat even a single meal?
Am I the only one with a strike? You're one, too. A stubborn strike.
Already punishing her so soon? That won't do.
She did it for my sake.
It is not a letter from Hwa Jeong.
How do you know that?
Hwa Jeong's handwriting has thinner lines and more delicate.
And she always draws a flower on her letters, but this letter has none.
This is a trap.
But I must return home.
If I do not return, Great Uncle will hold Hwa Jeong a hostage.
Do you really intend to return, knowing this is a trap?
My child might be in danger, how can I do nothing?
You do not need to return home.
-But... -You must go further away.
Please come out for a moment.
I'm not your mutt, do you think Gae Ddong will come and go at your command?
You are the son of the Prime Minister.
Why did you build Flower Crew on such a narrow road? You have a lot of money.
Because it's a road that is equal to everyone.
It's narrow, so carriages and horses cannot come here.
So to come to Flower Crew,
everyone must get off their carriage or horse to walk here.
Regardless of whether they are a peasant or noble, equality for everyone.
It's a place we find connections for people,
so at least that should not be unequal, should it?
I asked you to come to give you this.
What is this?
Yoon Soo Yeon, of the Mu Pyeong clan of Yoon.
Father Yoon Dong Seok, Mother Ahn Jae Gyeong (deceased)
It's a reward.
"Soo" for "remarkable" and "Yeon" for "beautiful." Yoon Soo Yeon.
Become a remarkable and beautiful woman.
This name, it's what I used at the tea ceremony.
So is this really my official name now?
A name... it's my first time having one.
I didn't even have a name,
so people called me "dog poop" (Gae Ddong) that rolled around here and there.
So do I really have a name now?
That name is now your identity, so study it well.
But where is the real Lady Yoon Soo Yeon?
She is no longer of this world.
Then what about her father?
Did he lose his family?
So you must make even more effort to not taint this family's name.
If you don't do well, it will hurt his heart.
I will do well.
I will make sure to do well.
Thank you.
Now you are the king's woman.
The king's woman.
Yoon Soo Yeon.
My name.
I want to greet the person who gave me this name.
He won't want it.
He left his home a long time ago.
But still...
Yes, I'll go to sleep now.
Yoon Soo Yeon, of the Mu Pyeong clan of Yoon.
Father Yoon Dong Seok, Mother Ahn Jae Gyeong (deceased).
There is no movement at all.
Take the warriors and go to Wol-Hwang-Gwan and bring my nephew's wife to the palace.
Yes, Lord.
Search thoroughly.
Prime Minister, is she not here yet?
Your Majesty, how dare a woman disobey a royal decree?
Withdraw your royal order and let the law determine what happens to her.
Your Majesty, Jeong Sook of the Im family has arrived.
Ask her to come in.
As you expected, Prime Minister's men raided the courtesan house.
About now, Sister-in-law will have arrived at the palace.
Do you plan to send Gae Ddong to the palace as well?
You stopped talking about the arrowhead a while ago. I thought that was strange.
So I collected some more information.
The person who benefited the most after the crown prince's death was your father.
The person who presents the biggest obstacle to your father
is the king's first love that he cannot forget,
which interferes with the selection of the queen.
And that person is our newbie. And you?
Didn't you decide to make this marriage happen
in order to protect our newbie from your father?
You...
Unni, Vice Premier's daughter is here.
I better get going, I'd rather not show myself.
You.
Did you get a high-interest loan from the Vice Premier's daughter?
One would think she is here to catch you.
This young lady has a lot of anger, more than you'd assume.
But this place is for authorized personnel only.
Yeong Soo, please excuse us for a moment.
Three Months.
Try eavesdropping.
Have a seat.
What brings you here?
Will you... marry me?
♫ I never thought it'd come to me, this pounding and trembling ♫
♫ I don't dislike it, but it hurts ♫
♫ maybe you'll come to me, maybe you won't ♫

Are you really going to marry that ill-tempered young lady?
She is so scary when she glares at you like this.
You two get along well only at times like this.
-Can you handle it? -What else can I do?
His side is the safest place for her.
Would you come to me?
But what can you give me?
Let me meet His Majesty.
