Plot[]
Shirayuki is a normal herbalist in the kingdom of Tanbarun with one unique feature: her beautiful red hair which attracts a lot of attention. Due to her unusual hair color, Shirayuki was raised to always be careful of showing her hair in new surroundings, tying it up with a red ribbon and grew to be an independent, young woman. However, her hair gets her noticed by Prince Raj, who orders her to become his concubine. Refusing his orders, she cuts her hair and leaves it behind, as she knew that he only wanted her for her unique hair colour and escapes to the neighboring kingdom of Clarines. On her way there, she meets and befriends Prince Zen Wistaria and his two aides, Mitsuhide and Kiki. When Zen is poisoned by an apple meant for Shirayuki, gifted by Raj, she successfully obtains the antidote and decides to accompany the trio to Clarines. Shortly thereafter, Shirayuki passes an exam for a position to train in the palace as a royal court herbalist. Shirayuki finds a place in Clarines and carries out her duties as a court herbalist, befriending the youngest herbalist, Ryu. Prince Raj realizes his feeling towards Shirayuki and starts working hard to become and ideal prince for her. Over the course of the story, Zen and Shirayuki begin to fall in love with each other and eventually begin a romantic relationship, in spite of opposition due to their difference in social status. Later, Shirayuki promises to Zen to wait for him amidst the flowers.

Zen offers her shelter in the house while making her confess the reason why she escaped. When a basket of apples arrives for Shirayuki, with her hair in the ribbon tied to the handle, Zen bites into one and collapses. At that point a soldier from Tanbarun appears, he confirms that the apples were poisoned by Raj who holds the antidote, which he will hand over to Zen only if Shirayuki becomes his concubine. Shirayuki is brought to the royal palace of Tanbarun where she meets a smug Raj. After bravely agreeing to his proposal in exchange for Zen's antidote, Zen suddenly appears to defend her, revealing his resistance to poisons. He also introduces himself to Prince Raj as the second prince of Clarines, which means that their countries could end up going to war if he disclosed that Prince Raj's attempted to poison him.

However, he manages to escape and corners her. She then places paralyzing herbs in her oil lantern and smashes them against the wall to release their paralyzing fumes. She jumps out of a window onto a branch and falls to the ground. During her, captivity Zen starts worrying about Shirayuki when he visits her place and is told by her landlady that she has not come back yet. Unfortunately, the paralyzing gas only has a temporary effect on Mihaya so he can catch up with Shirayuki. Zen rescues her at the last minute and hands Mihaya over to the royal guards.
