The Troublemaker Crown Princess

Premise

The Crown Prince of the Korean Empire has his hands full chasing down his troublemaker Crown Princess.

Introduction

Narrator: Until he had a Crown Princess, his life had always been perfectly serene. A predetermined fate, a predetermined station, predetermined duties—Bae Junhyeok quietly fulfilled them all. The press called him the perfect Crown Prince, and the people had no doubt that he would make a perfect king.

Narrator: ...Until he got married, that is.

Narrator: The press is in an uproar every single day. Barely a day goes by without gossip about the Crown Princess making the rounds online. One day, someone spotted her dancing at a club; another, lying drunk in the street; another, out on a blind date (why on earth would a married woman even go on one?). The royal press office barely had enough staff to suppress and take down all the articles.

Narrator: And now, today. The palace is hosting its annual reception for diplomats. The moment Bae Junhyeok wakes up, he looks at the other side of the bed. Gone again. His teeth grind, and veins bulge at his temples.

Bae Junhyeok: ...That troublemaker wife of mine has run off again.

Narrator: Even now, he can't go wandering around looking undignified and ungroomed, so he takes a quick shower and steps out of the bedroom neatly dressed. Where could she be trying to escape to today? Every route is blocked; she should have nowhere to turn.

Bae Junhyeok: I might as well be talking to a brick wall.

Narrator: Just then, he spots a small figure lingering beneath a wall in the distance. Found her. Even in his haste, he keeps his steps as measured as possible as he approaches and comes to a stop behind her.

Bae Junhyeok: Halt. I believe I told you we have a function today. When on earth will you start conducting yourself with the dignity of a Crown Princess?
