Joseon's notorious slave chaser and money hungry Daegil, find a woman he has been searching for 10 years. She is a slave named Eonnyeon who is directly involved with the fall of Daegil's family.
With the Bunwon seized by Japanese forces, Jeongi attempts to slip away to meet Gwanghae but is captured by Gangcheon. After learning the full truth from Mun Saseung, Yukdo agonizes over his choice—then ultimately releases Jeongi. Trusting that Gwanghae will drive the invaders away, Jeongi returns to the Bunwon and waits for his promise to be fulfilled.
Tailing Hwa-ryeong's men from the merchant guild, Taedo discovers the kiln where Jeongi is being held. Seizing a brief opening as soldiers pass by, he rescues Jeongi and flees with her—only to be struck by a throwing blade. Face to face with Gangcheon, Jeongi unleashes her fury, declaring that she can never forgive him for being her father. Steeling her resolve, Jeongi immerses herself in the potter's wheel and presents the finished vessel to King Seonjo.
After hearing the full truth from Mapung, Jeongi breaks down in tears before Mun Saseung, who is left stunned and shaken. Jeongi then pleads with Gwanghae to delay Gangcheon's arrest just a little longer. Confronting Gangcheon herself, Jeongi is devastated once more when he coldly declares that Yukdo is the only bloodline he acknowledges. Claiming he wishes to atone, Gangcheon summons Jeongi to Euldam's grave.
To protect Jeongi, Gwanghae arranges for a personal guard to stay by her side. When pigments needed for overglaze painting run short, Mun Saseung turns to Hwa-ryeong for supplies—drawing Gangcheon straight to her. Thanks to Jeongi's foresight in testing Gangcheon's scheme in advance, Mun Saseung successfully completes the tribute porcelain. Enraged by his failure, Gangcheon orders Mapung to kill Jeongi.
Mun Saseung is appointed as the new nangcheong of the Bunwon, and Jeongi becomes the first female master potter in Joseon history. Seeing Jeongi clad in her official potter's robes, Gwanghae smiles with pride and gifts her the workshop once used by Euldam. Reduced to desperation, Gangcheon and Yukdo beg Mun Saseung to allow them to remain at the Bunwon. Elsewhere, at the request of a Japanese merchant, Hwa-ryeong summons Jeongi—hinting at new trials yet to come.
Upon returning to the palace, Gwanghae insists that the letter King Seonjo presents to him has been forged—but the king refuses to believe it. Jeongi is shaken when Imhae warns her that anyone tied to the alleged treason will not escape unscathed. When Jeongi meets Gwanghae, she vows to restrain even her own feelings so as not to become a burden to him. Court Lady Gukbi is stunned to learn that Jeongi is Yeonok's daughter.
When King Seonjo selects Yukdo's lid, Yukdo struggles to contain his joy, while Jeongi graciously acknowledges his skill. Gwanghae petitions the king to lift the Chief Scholar's exile, but Seonjo misinterprets the request as a threat to royal authority. Seizing the moment, Inbin plots to frame Gwanghae for treason by forging his letter. As Jeongi departs on Gangcheon's errand to mine white clay, Gwanghae mounts his horse and races after her.
Despite Taedo's warnings that it is dangerous, Jeongi insists she must remain at the Bunwon to bring Gangcheon down from his nangcheong post. Reunited with Jeongi at the workshop, Gwanghae cannot hide his quiet delight. Meanwhile, Yukdo grows uneasy when he is forced to compete with Jeongi to create the lid for King Seonjo's cherished jar. He promises Jeongi that if she succeeds, he will elevate her to the rank of master potter.
King Seonjo orders Gwanghae, Imhae, and Shinseong to find a way to end the people's widespread stomach illness, prompting Gwanghae to disguise himself and investigate in secret. While surveying the village, he unexpectedly encounters Jeongi, who is making and distributing bowls to the villagers. Jeongi carefully presents a vessel she crafted especially for Gwanghae. Soon, a royal decree is issued for the Bunwon to produce pottery for the common people, and Gwanghae sets out to find Jeongi.
Claiming she has no lingering attachment, Jeongi leaves the Bunwon behind, and Gwanghae watches her go in hollow disbelief. After returning to her former home, Jeongi and Taedo are suddenly seized by military officers, who drag Taedo away. Gwanghae pleads with Inbin to release him, insisting that Taedo once served as his personal guard. Awakened by her mother Yeonok's voice, Jeongi rises and walks toward the kiln…
Startled by the sound of vases shattering inside the kiln, Jeongi peers inside and suddenly collapses. Hearing that Jeongi had been guarding the kiln alone, Gwanghae turns pale and desperately searches for her. Taedo watches over the unconscious Jeongi with quiet anguish. Seeing Jeongi injured, her eyesight damaged, Gwanghae is overcome with pain—yet Jeongi asks only to be allowed back into the Bunwon.
Consumed by anger, Gwanghae coldly tells Jeongi that she is no longer the person he once knew—and that she has nothing to do with him anymore. Left in tears as she gazes at the pottery she has made, Jeongi vows to earn Gwanghae's forgiveness. Meanwhile, in front of everyone at the Bunwon, Gangcheon orders that Euldam's vessels be destroyed…
While Gwanghae meets with the envoy, Taedo rescues Jeongi from the warehouse where she has been locked away. Watching Jeongi and Taedo walk off together, Gwanghae is flooded with memories from his past. Taedo warns Jeongi that if she chooses not to be entangled with Gwanghae any longer, she must never allow her true identity as “Jeongi” to be revealed. Back at the Bunwon, Jeongi begins learning the potter's wheel under Yukdo's guidance…
Gwanghae orders Gangcheon to acknowledge Jeongi's achievements and reinstate her at the Bunwon workshop. Soon after, he learns from Hwa-ryeong that Jeongi has already left with Taedo—and discovers the shocking truth that the two are not actually biological siblings. When Yukdo's life is placed in danger, Gangcheon reveals to King Seonjo and the visiting envoy that it was Jeongi who crafted the teacups. As Taedo prepares to confess his feelings to Jeongi, Gwanghae suddenly appears…
After discovering that Jeongi is a woman, Gwanghae urges her to flee at once. Instead, Jeongi asks for just ten days—enough time to complete the celadon teacups for Yukdo. Hearing rumors that Jeongi and Gwanghae share more than a simple connection, Imhae devises a scheme and locks the two of them together in a single room.
When Jeongi vows to step forward to clear Gwanghae's name, Taedo grows increasingly frustrated. Fearing that his own fate may once again bring injustice upon innocent people, Gwanghae sends Jeongi away. Meanwhile, Hwa-ryeong urges Jeongi to finally let go of Taedo.
Mistaking it for Gwanghae's test, Jeongi sneaks into the Bunwon storeroom to choose pottery, only to be caught red-handed by Gangcheon. While confined, she finally realizes that the man she believed to be Gwanghae was actually someone else. As Jeongi tearfully confesses all the wrongs she has committed against him, Gwanghae listens with a quiet smile.
Tormented by the shattered fragments of the sacred jar of King Taejo, Gwanghae seeks out Son Haengsu. Recognizing him, Hwa-ryeong urges Gwanghae to meet Jeongi, and he is stunned to learn that she is Euldam's daughter. When Jeongi falls from her horse and lands in Gwanghae's arms, she panics and struggles in surprise—only for them both to tumble to the ground.
Leaving the collapsed Gwanghae behind, Jeongi escapes home with Taedo's help. While hiding at a tavern, Jeongi overhears a conversation between King Seonjo and Euldam, only to be startled when her eyes meet Gwanghae's. King Seonjo orders Euldam to create ritual vessels to be used for the Jongmyo ancestral rites.
