In the mountains of Joseon, Jeongsoon has a heart as gentle as jade, but she might just be the clumsiest girl in the kingdom. She wants to be a princess, so she enters the grand princess challenge where she must complete the Manners Test, the Wisdom Test, and finally - the Sleep Test. Upon laying down on dozens of mattresses, Jeongsoon hears the squeaking of a hungry mouse (who close readers will have spotted hiding in previous spreads) and helps it to the palace kitchens for a midnight snack.
Throughout each examination, Jeongsoon is far from flawless but in staying true to herself, wins the favour of the queen and the competition itself.
