Bong-sam heard from the physician, who saved his life, that his older sister So-rye (Park Eun-hye) had been there.

Bong-sam searched all around the village to find a palanquin that fits the description of his older sister's palanquin. He then followed So-sa's palanquin because he thought that it looked like his big sister So-rye's. The palanquin carriers, who were paid money to kill So-rye, pushed over the palanquin off a cliff. Bong-sam dived into the cliff at the thought he must save his big sister.

However, the one he saved was So-sa not So-rye. The two made a fire and dried their bodies. Bong-sam was fascinated by her beauty.

So-sa later told him that she had prayed that he would be able to find his oldder sister for sure. Bong-sam felt thankful and called her "Your lady". So-sa said, "I'm not someone from a noble family. Don't call me that way, please. I'm just a wanderer, who got lost. Please take me with you", which surprised Bong-sam. The reality was that So-sa's father sold her to a wealthy innkeeper for money. The predestined love between the two began this way.
