In the 18th century, the aristocrats of the Joseon Dynasty appeared to be benevolent and ethical, but in fact they were corrupt and dissolute.

Mrs. Zhao's husband is about to marry a young girl Suyu (played by Li Zhaojuan) as his concubine.

Jo Won is not interested in seducing young girls, but instead sets his sights on Madam Sook (played by Jeon Do-yeon), a chaste woman who has been widowed for nine years and has been praised by the royal family. Mrs. Zhao made a bet with Zhao Yuan that if he could conquer a woman like Mrs. Shu who abides by women's ethics, he would be allowed to have sex with her in bed. Zhao Yuan has coveted his cousin for a long time, so he tried his best to get close to Madam Shu, and expressed his love to her with clever words and seductive words. Madam Shu, who was as cold as ice to any man, gradually lost control...
