Plot
Deokman (Lee Yo-Won) was born a twin but was abandoned as a baby and sent to a place far away by her father, King Jin-Pyeong (Jo Min-Gi) in order to protect her from being killed by an influenced royal court lady, Mishil (Go Hyun-Jung) who tries to snatch away the throne from the royal successor.
Deokman was later brought back to the Silla palace, where she joined forces with her twin sister Princess Cheon-Myung (Park Yeh-Jin) to oppose Mishil. However, Mishil devised sinister plans to have the two Silla princesses exiled from the kingdom, and in a secretive battle, Princess Cheon-Myung was accidentally killed. But Princess Deokman shrewdly enlisted the help of General Yu-Sin Kim (Uhm Tae-Woong) and eliminated her archenemy Mishil. She then became Queen Seon Deok, the first female ruler of the Silla kingdom. This drama is about a story of a beautiful queen, who has to give up her love to save the people and thus, leaving behind many brilliant achievements.
