The final volume of Goong is a collection of short stories that ranges from the past to the future of the main story. From the dreamy tale of a concubine who meets her future selves to a retelling of Prince Shin's and Princess Chae-Kyung's first night together, these side stories showcase the inner workings behind the Palace.

Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! Only for one high school girl, Che-Kyung, is this a tragedy, since she has to marry the prince who apparently is a total jerk!

With the wedding ceremony complete, Chae-Kyung and Prince Shin are finally newlyweds...but now they have to spend their first night together?! And as she tries to get accustomed to life as a princess, homesick Chae-Kyung finds no comfort in her haughty husband, who seems determined to antagonize her at every turn. Will the crown prince's attitude ever change? Is the dream of marital bliss doomed to be a nightmarish marital blunder?!

Manipulated by Prince Yul, Chae-Kyung sets Korea ablaze with her declaration - on live television - that she wishes to divorce Prince Shin. As the royal family reels from this public humiliation, Chae-Kyung begins to realize how badly she has hurt the crown prince.

Waging war from the shadows, Yul and his mother, the Daebi, continue to turn the screws on Korea's royals - and the first casualties in their sights are Crown Prince Shin and Chae-Kyung! Convinced by Yul that an upcoming television interview will be her last chance to talk divorce, Chae-Kyung is distracted from the larger picture by her feelings for her husband and the thought of freedom from oppressive palace life.

In an effort to prevent Chae-Kyung from fall prey to Yul's blackmailing schemes, Shin decides to run away with Chae-Kyung to her holiday home. But while the royal couple allows themselves one last, bittersweet weekend of happiness together, rumors of their little rendezvous spread far and wide. While Chae-Kyung's brother, Chae-Jun, hopes to rekindle his romance with a brokenhearted Hyo-Rin, Yul and Mi-Roo ponder an alliance, and Yul's mother plots her revenge. And though Chae-Kyung is ready to suffer alone for the sake of the royal family, she just can't seem to stay away from Shin!
