The king of Mongolia, who was terrified by the protagonist (have obtained the above information), was about to come across this peach tree during the proposal to the heroine. A dear friend didn't get his wish. At this very moment, the actor was unexpectedly thrown into the peach tree by the white horse he was riding.
