Snow White with the Red Hair plot recap, spoiler-light
In the kingdom of Tanbarun, a clever and independent herbalist named Shirayuki draws unwanted attention because of her striking, apple-red hair. When the arrogant first prince, Prince Raj, demands she become his concubine simply because of her unique appearance, she fiercely refuses. Leaving behind her established business and her long red locks, she escapes across the border.
While wandering in the neighboring kingdom of Clarines, she crosses paths with a young man named Prince Zen Wistaria, along with his loyal aides Mitsuhide and Kiki. After Prince Raj attempts to harm Shirayuki by sending a poisoned apple that Zen accidentally eats, Shirayuki bravely secures the antidote. Grateful and impressed by her resourcefulness, Zen allows her to travel with them to Clarines.
Once settled in the foreign court, Shirayuki successfully passes a rigorous examination to train as a royal court herbalist. She quickly adapts to her new surroundings, forging a strong friendship with a younger herbalist named Ryu. Meanwhile, Prince Zen recognizes his growing affection for Shirayuki, motivating him to improve himself into a ruler who can stand proudly beside her.
