OK, a prominent cook is forced into prostitution by the Prince of Whales. Her choice, become the prince's tart or lose her job and the ability to get a job. She has to marry someone for public appearance. When he becomes King he has to call off the affair. I think what they did wit the husband's character was lame. She uses what the King/Prince gave her to buy a Hotel. Guess what, the residents are sleazy women users. I can't say this is not realistic. But the story line was geared to high school sex fantasy's. I only finished the last episode to say I had watched it.
