She nods her head even though she wouldn't but she decides to leave him with some comfort. When he sees that she agrees, Min Woo's eyes literally light up in hope. "Thank you," he whispers. "Before I leave, I will give you a present. But in return you must give me something else." Aria cocks her head in confusion. "I will give you the sun so that whenever look up at it you must think of me, and you must give me the moon so that I can think of you." She knew what he was asking. It is his way of asking her permission for him to be able think of her whenever he could. And with that, she is touched by his words. What girl wouldn't? In her time, his words would have been considered cheesy but then again what girls didn't like cheesy stuff, especially when uttered from a man's mouth.

Aria just so happens to be a girl from the 21st century who time traveled back to the Yi Dynasty when South Korea was still known as Joseon. While trying to find her way home, she is saved by gisaengs (courtesan's), learns the way of life in the Joseon era, and even pretends to be a blind nobleman's daughter. But her adventure doesn't stop there. She actually ends up saving the king of Joseon's life. Just when things couldn't get even more interesting, the king invites her back to the palace as Princess Hyosung's tutor, where he plans to pursue her. How will she answer his very important question? Will she survive all the power, hungry villains and even an assassination attempt along with her own problems?
