Shirayuki, a well-known herbalist from Tanbarun, catches the unwanted eye of the kingdom's vain prince, Raji Shenazard, due to her distinctive red hair. When faced with the distasteful demand to become his concubine, she cuts off her hair and escapes the country overnight. While fleeing through the forest, she crosses paths with Zen Wistalia, the prince of the neighboring country of Clarines. After Zen eats a poisoned apple that Prince Raji sent to recapture Shirayuki, she quickly uses her herbal knowledge to heal him.
Accompanied by Zen and his companions Kiki and Mitsuhide, Shirayuki travels to Clarines, where she hopes to build a future as a court apothecary. As her feelings for Zen grow beyond mere friendship, the two must navigate their different social standings while striving toward their individual goals.
