The problem with the Ming Empire need to be solved by Hyerin's father, Han Sungkyu. Her family had special relationship with the Ming's royal family.
Hyerin's aunt had been sent to Ming as royal concubine due to the family tradition. But her father would never dare to send her because he knew she would never be happy.
Hyerin was in dilemma, she didn't know who to choose. Her new family, who willingly to accept and love her, they had help her to adapt her new life. But on the other hand, she had given her heart to the crown prince.
After the long discussion with her brother, she decided that she would never leave her family behind. She reminded of her deceased parents, where she didn't even have the chance to expressed her love and gratitude.
Moreover, according to her brother, she was still young, she need to live free and see the world. If she was chosen as the crown prince's bride, she need to follow the royal customs. She hope the crown prince would understand her intention.

"Seja Choeha, there's a letter from lady Han" Eunuch Lee interrupt him.
He open the letter.
'Dear Seja Choeha, I am sorry I did not inform you that I'm leaving to Ming's Empire earlier. I need to follow my family, they are everything to me. My family and I would help resolve the misunderstanding with all our might.
Do not worry, I will be fine. It was one of my dream to see the world while I'm still young.
Seja Choeha, if we are destined together we will eventually meet again. If you are looking at the moon and stars, remember I'm watching them too. We are leaving in one sky.
Please govern the Joseon to make it a better place to live. Always prioritise your subjects.
Seja Choeha, I will never forget you because I had placed you in my heart.
Love your lowly subject,
Han Hyerin'
"Go see the world Hyerin. I won't stop you because I had already placed you in my heart.Whenever I look at the moon and stars, I will believe you are looking at them too." He said sighly.
"I miss you already, Han Hyerin".didn

The crown prince, he didn't have any appetite to eat but he force himself. He knew Hyerin didn't want him to get sick. While he was eating, Eunuch Kim came towards him, crying.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Cheoha" he didn't answer, he kept on crying.
"Tell me! What happened?"
"Seja choeha, the king had passed away".
The crown prince ran to the King's chamber. He saw his father, lying on the bed with eyes closed. He can't believe his eyes. His father's concubines stand beside him crying.
" No! Ahba mama ( father called only to king), don't leave me! No this is not true. Open your eyes, Ahba mama. Your son is here."
He wraped his arm around the king's body. Hugged him. Crying.
