### Summary
This chapter focuses on the fated, albeit clumsy, first meeting between Hwayeon Ryu and Crown Prince Muyeong. The encounter is precipitated by Hwayeon's attempt to visit her father at the Jade Palace, where she mistakenly enters a blue-tiled building instead of the green one. This action has sparked a debate among readers, with some criticizing her intelligence while others defend her, pointing to her long coma and the fact that other palace names do not correspond to their roof colors. The situation is critically worsened by the palace guards, who are universally condemned as incompetent. Based on an accessory Hwayeon is wearing, the guards mistake her for a dancer or prostitute and negligently allow her to enter the Crown Prince's private residence. This error leads directly to Hwayeon coming face-to-face with Muyeong, whose handsome appearance is met with immediate reader adoration. However, the guards' dialogue also raises audience concern that he may be a playboy. The chapter thus establishes the leads' initial connection through a comedic mix-up fueled by Hwayeon's naivety and the guards' severe dereliction of duty.
