The Story of Park's Marriage Contract

Yeon-woo, a noble family member in Joseon, secretly makes clothes and sells them to the market, which is against the code of conduct for noble women in conservative society. One day, she gets in danger of being caught and punished for her clothes being considered too bold and vulgar. Soon, she is almost forced to marry into another noble family without knowing or seeing her future husband. After the wedding ceremony, her husband shares one big secret.

Yeon-woo ends up in Seoul in the present time. She nearly drowns in a swimming pool, but she gets rescued by Tae-ha, who is the grandson of Chairman Kang of SH Group in 2023. Without understanding the current situation, Yeon-woo ends up becoming Tae-ha’s bride. Chairman Kang’s surgery gets delayed, so Tae-ha has to pretend to be married until Chairman Kang leaves for the US. Tae-ha suggests Yeon-woo to draw up a contract regarding their fake marriage.

Yeon-woo believes that she has found a way to go back to Joseon and heads to the pool where she first met Tae-ha in the 21st century. She soon gets caught by Tae-ha and happens to see a piece of painting from Joseon. With her knowledge of the old painting, she helps Tae-ha not to fall for Hye-suk’s scheme which could damage Tae-ha’s career.

Tae-min announces to the whole family that he’ll start working at the company, fighting against Tae-ha to be a successor. He also warns his mother that he hasn’t decided which side to take. Chairman Kang’s birthday is held, and Yeon-woo meets Tae-ha’s whole family, including his aunt. She also runs into Sa-wol, who got hired as the family's new housekeeper.

Hye-suk hands over another business proposal to Midam to make them decline Tae-ha's proposal. Furthermore, she uses Yeon-woo to raise the stakes about Tae-ha's marriage. Meanwhile, Yeon-woo wants to meet Chen-myung again to find the way back to Joseon.

Mi Dam decides to hire Yeon-woo as Midam’s guest designer after seeing her embroidery work. Through this, Yeon-woo gets to participate in SH Seoul’s first-anniversary event, which jars on Hye-suk’s nerves. Hye-suk lures Yeon-woo into the annexe of the family house, knowing Tae-ha hasn’t gotten over his trauma. Tae-ha runs into the annexe to save Yeon-woo, but his heart starts malfunctioning.
