She grew up finding this boy who saved her and mistook Yi Won who sang the lullaby though it was actually Yi Hwi. She is a fan of Hong's paintings and later on became close friends with him. She has an unrequited love for Yi Won. She is the student of Nabi whom her father hired in order to prepare her as the consort of the emperor who she does not know yet.

Personality
Dan Ah is selfless and caring towards other people, as shown in how she goes out of their house to get a medicine for her ailing mother and helping the sick people affected by the plague. Ever since she met a boy at Bi Hwa Rim, Dan Ah is quite forgetful of her memories, only clinging on the song called Butterfly sung to her by the boy. She then mistakenly regards Yi Won as the boy whom she met ten years ago, falling in love with him although Yi Won does not reciprocate his feelings to her. As the daughter of a strict and controlling Prime Minister, her actions and behavior are the opposite of her father—clumsy and stubborn.
