In London at 10:02 AM, Zan is peacefully working in the Noble family garden. He is a kind and hardworking gardener who truly loves plants. Because of his sincerity and dedication, the Noble family allows him to live in their mansion.

Suddenly, a loud scream breaks the calm morning.

Inside the mansion, chaos erupts. Dilruba, the Noble family’s daughter, has run away from home. She leaves behind a letter explaining that she refuses to marry the wealthy and cold prince Yibo, because she loves someone else.

Her parents panic.

Prince Yibo — known as “Ice Cold” — is arriving in only three hours for the engagement meeting. If he discovers that Dilruba has run away, his anger could ruin the Noble family’s reputation and business.

In desperation, Tiffany comes up with a shocking

plan:

They will replace Dilruba with someone else.

When Tiffany sees Zan walking outside the window, she notices his slim figure and delicate features. Since Yibo has never seen Dilruba before, Tiffany decides Zan will disguise himself as her daughter.

Zan is confused and terrified, but the servants drag him to Dilruba’s room. They bathe him, style his hair, apply makeup, and force him into tight women’s clothes. A corset is pulled tightly around his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After the painful transformation, Zan looks unbelievably beautiful — so much so that even Leo briefly mistakes him for a real girl.

They give him a new name: “Jenny.”

When Prince Yibo arrives, the atmosphere becomes tense. His cold and sharp eyes immediately land on “Jenny.” Zan lowers his gaze, nervous under Yibo’s intense stare.

Because he has never worn such clothes before, Zan nearly falls — but Yibo catches him.

Then Zan suddenly gets a nosebleed from nervousness and the tight corset. Yibo steps forward to help him with a handkerchief. When Zan grabs Yibo’s hand, Yibo notices something strange:

Jenny’s hands are rough — like a laborer’s — not soft like a noble lady’s.

Tiffany and Leo turn pale, afraid their secret has been discovered.

But instead of exposing them, Yibo calmly makes an unexpected decision.

He announces that he will take “Jenny” back with him so she can receive proper training to become a refined and mature lady.

Hearing this, Zan’s body trembles. Overwhelmed by fear and pressure, he faints.

Everyone rushes toward him in shock.

And the story ends on that dramatic moment.

H h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

After announcing that he wants to take “Jenny” (Zan in disguise) to his palace, Yibo shocks everyone in the Noble mansion.

Leo Jin completely panics, almost losing his balance. Tiffany screams his name in fear. Yibo quickly steadies Leo, while Tiffany silently curses Dilruba for running away and causing this disaster.

Zan, still weak from earlier, is laid on the sofa. He slowly regains consciousness, confused about what is happening. Leo and Tiffany argue in private. Tiffany is furious and afraid — if Yibo finds out that Dilruba ran away with her lover, their entire family could be destroyed.

When Zan wakes up fully, Leo desperately asks him to continue pretending to be Dilruba for a while longer. Zan refuses at first, terrified of being exposed. But Tiffany explains the seriousness of the situation — their lives and reputation are at risk.

Leo Jin does something shocking.

He kneels in front of Zan and begs for help.

Moved by their desperation and remembering their kindness toward him, Zan hesitates. He admits he is illiterate and uneducated, which makes Tiffany panic again. But they quickly decide that Aunt Ling will accompany Zan to help guide and protect him.

Finally, Zan agrees.

He chooses to sacrifice himself to repay the Noble family’s kindness.

The Journey to the Palace

A few hours later, Zan (as “Jenny”) leaves with Yibo in his carriage. Tiffany watches with worried eyes, silently praying for his safety.

Inside the carriage, tension fills the air.

Zan avoids Yibo’s sharp gaze, trembling with fear.

Aunt Ling pretends to sleep, too scared to look at Yibo.

But Yibo notices everything.

He comments on Zan’s strange behavior — his rough hands, his heavy voice, his unusual personality. He leans closer, making Zan even more nervous. Zan sweats and struggles to maintain his feminine act.

Yibo teasingly says that Zan’s voice sounds “sexy,” causing Aunt Ling to choke in shock.

Zan’s heart pounds wildly. He is terrified that Yibo has already figured out the truth.

Yet instead of exposing him, Yibo watches him carefully — almost curiously.

When the carriage becomes warm, Yibo opens the window. A cool breeze touches Zan’s face, and for a moment, he relaxes. Yibo quietly thinks he looks beautiful.

Soon, they arrive at the palace.

Yibo steps down first and offers his hand to Zan. Nervous, Zan almost trips — but Yibo catches him in time. Leaning close to his ear, Yibo whispers softly:

“I think I’m already falling for you.”

Zan freezes in shock.

And the story ends with rising tension —

Does Yibo know the truth?

Or is he truly falling for “Jenny”?

H h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

After arriving at the palace, Yibo suddenly pulls Zan close by the waist and whispers teasingly in his ear that he thinks Zan has fallen for him.

Zan’s whole body shivers. Flustered and scared, he quickly steps back and apologizes, trying to keep his distance.

When Zan sees the massive royal residence, he blurts out loudly that this is not a house but a palace. His behavior is simple and village-like, which makes the servants and guards struggle to hold back their laughter. Aunt Ling nearly faints from embarrassment.

Yibo, however, does not get angry. Instead, he calmly reaches out his hand and asks Zan to come with him.

Zan grabs Yibo’s hand awkwardly and too roughly, making Yibo flinch. Aunt Ling silently prays for survival.

Inside the palace, Yibo observes Zan carefully:

His round, expressive eyes

His nonstop talking

His lack of noble manners

His rough hands

Instead of feeling annoyed, Yibo seems amused and curious.

He asks if Zan likes the palace. Zan loudly praises it again without elegance, causing Aunt Ling more stress.

Yibo then informs Zan that he will pick him up at 7 PM for dinner and introduce him properly to palace life.

Aunt Ling’s Training

In Zan’s room, Aunt Ling scolds him for embarrassing the Noble family. She reminds him he is no longer a gardener — he must act like a refined noble lady.

She begins teaching him:

How to walk gracefully

How to speak softly

How to behave with etiquette

But Zan gets bored and accidentally falls asleep standing up.

Aunt Ling sighs in frustration yet gently puts him to bed, realizing how innocent and clueless he truly is.

Dinner Invitation

Later that evening, Yibo comes personally to fetch Zan. After some chaotic knocking and confusion at the door, Zan finally appears — beautifully dressed and properly styled.

Yibo is visibly stunned.

He compliments Zan’s beauty, but Zan almost blurts out that he is “handsome,” not beautiful. Aunt Ling quickly covers his mouth, causing Yibo to scold her for being disrespectful.

Yibo surprisingly defends Zan and even apologizes when he raises his voice by accident. This shows a softer side of him that surprises both Zan and Aunt Ling.

Zan begins to realize that Yibo may not be as cold as people say.

The Dinner Scene

At the dining table, Zan panics.

He has never used multiple spoons, forks, and knives before. Nervously, he copies Yibo’s actions while Aunt Ling watches anxiously.

When Zan cuts a piece of meat, he takes too big of a bite and stuffs it into his mouth. The meat gets stuck in his throat.

He starts choking.

Yibo immediately rushes to him in panic, asking if he is okay. He tries to help but doesn’t know what to do properly.

Finally, Aunt Ling hits Zan’s back hard, and the food comes out. Zan gasps for air and drinks water, finally breathing normally again.

Yibo looks at Zan with a strange, unreadable expression — part worry, part relief, part fascination.

Meanwhile, Zan innocently tells Yibo to sit down and continue eating as if nothing dramatic just happened.
