'21st Century Grand Duchess' IU and Byun Woo-seok are set to spend their first night after marriage.
In the eighth episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', broadcast on the 2nd, it was revealed that Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) fainted during the wedding ceremony, along with the truth surrounding the incident.
On that day, the collapsed Seong Hee-ju learned she had been poisoned with digoxin at the hospital, and Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok) ordered a massive investigation. During the investigation, Seong Hee-ju realized that the drug in question was one that Prince Lee An had been taking, and she came to understand that someone had targeted not herself, but Prince Lee An.
Prince Lee An also stated during the investigation, "It seems they were targeting me. My wife, who didn't usually take that medicine, survived, but if I had taken it, it would have been a lethal dose, and I would have died."

Afterward, Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An spent their first night after marriage. Prince Lee An said, "It's our first night after getting married, are you ready?" causing Seong Hee-ju's heart rate to rise.
Seong Hee-ju asked Prince Lee An, who was sleeping in the same bed, "Don't you plan to sleep on the sofa?" Prince Lee An casually replied, "This is just right."
The two bickered playfully, and Prince Lee An embraced Seong Hee-ju, saying, "Just go to sleep. Do I have to look like I got rejected on our first night?" Prince Lee An and Seong Hee-ju spent their first night together, embracing and sharing sweet kisses.
Following this, Seong Hee-ju continued her speech while attending the opening ceremony of the Royal School with Prince Lee An. Suddenly, a group of reporters entered the ceremony venue and asked Seong Hee-ju, "Is it true that you will divorce in three years?" The marriage contract between Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An had been leaked.
A flustered Seong Hee-ju was approached by Prince Lee An, who appeared before her and, saying "Look only at me," took her hand.
