After growing up in poverty, Princess Flora's life takes a dramatic turn when she's summoned to the palace on her 16th birthday. Her mother, once a court maid, had been cast aside by the King's mother, who never liked her. The King's mother had forced Flora's mother out of the palace, which led to their fall into poverty. This action was the driving force behind their struggles, as they lived unnoticed and forgotten by the royal family. Two years later, the King's mother passed away, and the King, now in charge, announced the return of his first family-Flora and her mother. However, despite his efforts and a year-long search, Flora and her mother could not be found. By then, the King had married another woman in accordance with the kingdom's tradition of having a Queen. Now, as Flora turns 16, the King summons her to the palace to celebrate her birthday and, as part of the royal tradition, to choose a prince. For 12 days, Flora meets 12 eligible Princes, each from different kingdoms with varying wealth, abilities, and personalities. Each prince reveals his hobbies to Flora, hoping to make an impression and express their true feelings by presenting Flora with heartfelt letters and taking her on a special date outside the palace. Just as the final decision nears, the 12th Prince, who had been absent throughout the competition, suddenly appears. His unexpected return throws Flora into confusion. To make matters more complicated, a mysterious figure, known as the Mysterious Prince, arrives and announces that the games are far from over, leaving Flora shocked and uncertain about her final choice.
