Synopsis

More than a thousand years ago from the present time, Sung Yu Ri is the Baek Jae Empire's princess Puyeoju. Unlike other princesses, she is active and skilled in the arts and in sports. When the Baek Jae Empire crumbles due to a spy (Kim Sa Rang), she runs away with her bodyguard General Guishil Ari (So Ji Sup), and falls in love with him in the meanwhile. The new conquerer Kim Yu-suk (Kim Nam Jin) is also in love with the princess, but only receives hate in return. In a desperate attempt to win her, he kills Ari, but the princess runs away and jumps off a cliff to kill herself. While falling, she travels more than one thousand years into the future, which is our present time of 2003. Only she remains to be who she was, and she encounters Ari to be an aimless fashion designer Kang In-chul with a warm heart and bad temper. Although he is annoyed at her ignorance of the present world, he comes to fall in love with the princess again. Fujiwara Tatsuji (Kim Nam Jin) is the son of the Fujiwara dynasty, and once again is mysteriously attracted to the princess. Only she knows the past that holds all three of them together, but will things become an exact replica of the situation back then?
