The story follows Shirayuki, an apothecary in the kingdom of Tanbarun, whose aspirations for independence are disrupted by a forced proposal from Prince Raji. To escape this fate, she cuts her hair and flees into the wilderness, where she encounters Zen Wistalia, the second prince of Clarines, and his companions. Seeking refuge and opportunity, Shirayuki resolves to become the court herbalist in Zen's land, a path that intertwines with his own struggles for recognition.

The narrative emphasizes the development of relationships as Shirayuki and Zen navigate their individual goals while gradually forming an unexpected bond built on mutual respect and shared aspirations.
