Love in the Moonlight

One month after the chaos at Hong Gyeong-rae's interrogation, Premier Kim notifies the queen that her baby boy will soon become the crown prince.

The news of Hong Gyeong-rae's return shocks everyone. Even while putting her life at risk, Ra-on wishes to reenter the palace to meet her father.

The crown prince wishes to know what Ra-on's true intentions really were. The chief eunuch senses that there's a traitor within the Baekwoon Group.

The crown prince is deeply affected by Ra-on's absence. The chief eunuch reminds Byeong-yeon where Ra-on needs to be. The queen gives birth to a baby.

Realizing the danger of her staying in the palace, Ra-on secretly prepares to leave. The crown prince orders a search for the attacker who escaped.

Ra-on's mother is alarmed by what Ra-on has been doing. The crown prince finds evidence of corruption committed by a minister from the Kim family.

The crown prince defends the young girl who's accused of treason, but poison discovered in the king's meal gets linked back to the girl's father.

As political unrest grips the capital, the king decides to hasten the crown prince's marriage with a candidate he already has in mind.

Sam-nom starts avoiding the crown prince's palace. The crown prince finds her at Consort Park's residence, where Princess Yeongeun has gone missing.

For Sam-nom, the crown prince's confession is bittersweet. The crown prince and Premier Kim butt heads regarding the national civil service exams.

A rumor spreads in the palace that the crown prince doesn't like women. Another rumor says that eunuchs and court ladies are carrying on affairs.

The crown prince's attitude toward Sam-nom completely changes. Eunuch Ma tells the Qing envoy that he can bring what the envoy desires most in Joseon.

No one can identify or locate the mysterious woman who performed the solo dance. Sam-nom requests permission to attend the Lantern Festival.

At the king's upcoming birthday banquet, the crown prince plans to seek permission for regency from the Qing envoy, who's notoriously hard to please.

Sam-nom is stunned when she sees her exam result for her blank answer sheet. The king's mental state is becoming increasingly unstable.

As the other eunuch trainees try their best to pass the three exams, Sam-nom tries her best to fail, but someone wants to make sure she stays.

To everyone else in town, Hong Sam-nom is known as a man who'll do anything for money. But to his adoptive father, he's known by a different name.
