There, in the big competitions to select talented people for the country such as the Trạng Nguyên, people can still use money and power to exchange for prizes. Nam Young (played by Yoo Seung Ho) is inherently intelligent and studies better than others. Although he was the top scorer in the Hương and Hội exams, he only came in fourth in the Trạng Nguyên exam because the top three positions were taken by the descendants of generals and mandarins in the court.

Nam Young was very sad and resentful. During the audience ceremony, Nam Young refused to drink the wine given by the King and explained that doing so was against his own rules. Nam Young's honesty helped him regain the title of Champion that was rightfully his.

On the way to celebrate his success, Nam Young meets Kang Ro Seo (played by Lee Hyeri). He always hated this girl because he thought Kang Ro Seo was a seducer, of noble birth but lowly actions.

Kang Ro Seo is a lively, beautiful young woman born into a noble family. But unexpected events have caused her family to fall into poverty and she is forced to secretly brew and sell alcohol in order to earn money to pay off her debts. Her selling of alcohol, a prohibited commodity and manipulated by gangs, has contributed to pushing Kang Ro Seo into a dangerous situation. And also because she needs money, she rents a room to Nam Young. Later, she realizes that he is a supervisor. So, it is no different than bringing a snake into the house, how will Kang Ro Seo handle it?

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Lee Pyo (played by Byeon Woo-seok) is a rebellious, cold, mysterious man who is proficient in martial arts and understands the dark side of the royal court. However, he has to live under the shadow of his deceased brother.

Although he was a member of the royal family, he opposed the ban on alcohol brewing that the royal court had issued and often sneaked out of the royal family to go drinking.

A love triangle blossoms between Inspector Nam Young, bootlegger Ro Seo, and Crown Prince Lee Pyo after a fateful yet humorous encounter. Together, they explore the giant wine cellars and countless other secrets that the royal court is trying to hide.
