In a 21st-century Korea where the Goryeo Empire never fell, tradition is everything and Crown Prince Kang Min-woo is its golden standard. With a posture as sharp as his wit and a public image colder than a winter night in Seoul, he is the "Aircon" Prince sophisticated, untouchable, and perfectly stiff.
Enter Moon Seo-ah, the "Nation's Sweetheart." To the public, she's a poised A-list actress, to her manager, she's a "Kanal" whirlwind of chaos, unfiltered jokes, and an obsession with spicy ramyeon. When an invitation from the Dowager Empress brings Seo-ah behind the palace's guarded stone walls, two worlds collide with the force of a high-speed train.
She thinks he needs to loosen his silk tie and sit on a beanbag. He thinks she's a walking security breach with zero decorum. But as the Dowager Empress pushes them together and a dangerous political conspiracy led by the ruthless Duke Shin begins to tighten around them, the "Icicle Prince" and the "Chaos Queen" must strike a deal.
Between secret late-night snacks, terrifying etiquette lessons, and a blooming romance that could topple a throne, Seo-ah must decide. Can she play the role of a Royal Highness without losing her soul? And can Min-woo protect the woman who finally taught him how to laugh, before the Duke's shadow consumes them both?
