Princess Anne, the heir to the throne of a certain European country, visited major European cities, and everywhere she went, the attention of the people caused a huge sensation. Princess Anne's first visit to London was warmly received by the British royal family and a warm welcome from the people. After completing the 3-day event and visiting Buckingham Palace, the Princess flew to Amsterdam to preside over the opening ceremony of the International Aid Building and the launching ceremony of a cruise ship. She then traveled to Paris to attend several official events to strengthen the trade partnership between her home country and many countries in Western Europe. Finally, the princess arrives in Rome, the eternal capital, where the Romans welcomed the princess of the ancient country with spectacular parades and performances by sniper bands. In the evening, the ambassador to Italy specially arranged a feast and ball for the princess to entertain the vips.
Days of running, endless ceremonies and activities, made Princess Anne upset and manic. In order to give the princess a quiet rest, the ambassador asked the health doctor to inject the princess with a sedative. The princess was bent on looking freely at Rome and seeing the lives of ordinary citizens, but she was so restrained that she could not get out of it. She pretended to be asleep, and when the attendants had left, she went out the window and sneaked up on a three-wheeled motorcycle carrying goods and drove out of the embassy. But it wasn't long before the sedatives struck, and she fell asleep on the steps near the fountain in the square.
Joe Bradley, an American journalist who had just returned from playing cards with friends, passed by the square and found a girl sleeping on the steps, thinking she was drunk, and called a taxi to take her home. But the girl slept so deeply that she couldn't wake up, and the taxi driver didn't want to be nosy, so Joe had to take her back to his apartment. Joe let her sleep on the couch, but as soon as she turned around, the girl fell asleep on the bed. Joe was dissatisfied and angrily threw her onto the couch, and the girl continued to sleep unconsciously.
After dawn, the embassy found the princess missing in a mess. In order to avoid adverse effects, the embassy issued a notice in the newspaper, saying that the princess was in poor health and temporarily did not attend various activities, and published a large photo of the princess. Joe, who went to work, saw the announcements and photos in the newspaper and realized that the girl he had brought home was the missing princess. Other media outlets have paid attention to the matter, but he is unaware of it, and it is no wonder that the editor-in-chief is so dissatisfied that he even threatens to fire him. Joe was silent, preparing to write an exclusive story of the princess insider and monologue. When the princess woke up, she vaguely remembered some of the things that happened last night, and knew that It was Joe who helped her and was safe, so she gradually calmed down. She borrowed some money from Joe and wandered alone down the streets of Rome.
Everything on the street made the princess feel fresh and interesting, and walking alone and freely made her physically and mentally happy and relaxed. She first went to a beauty shop to cut her long hair, bought ice cream and sat on the steps of the square to eat while enjoying the scenery. Joe, who had been secretly stalking, quietly called his friend, the photojournalist Owen, and asked him to come and take pictures, there would be big news here. But Owen didn't know it, and it took half a day to come over.
Joe pretends to meet the princess and volunteers to accompany the princess to the café for coffee. Owen, who had arrived, was shocked to see the princess and almost blurted out several times, but was cleverly stopped by Joe. When Owen learned that the girl was indeed a princess, he quickly used a lighter camera to take many precious shots of the princess's life. Joe rode his motorcycle around the city of Rome with the princess, and Owen followed in his car. Joe takes the princess to the famous "Mouth of Truth" and "Wall of Wishes Come True", where the princess has a great time and lingers. On a whim, the princess actually drove Joe along the street on a motorcycle, ran a red light, knocked down a stall, caused a bunch of trouble, and was arrested by the police and put into the police station. Fortunately, Joe and Owen showed their press cards before the police released them.
News of the princess's disappearance returned home, and the king secretly sent plainclothes to Rome to look for her. When Joe and Owen lead the princess to the water ballroom for a ball, they are found in plain clothes looking for the princess. Plainclothes secretly controlled the princess and asked the princess to go back with them immediately, but the princess refused, and the plainclothes had to force their hands. When Joe and Owen found out, they immediately fought with plainclothes to protect the princess. As Joe and Owen tangle with the plainclothes, the wayward and mischievous princess also raises her instrument and punches the plainclothes. Joe dragged the princess to escape by diving, while plainclothes were taken away by the police.
The day passed quickly, and the princess had to return to the embassy to continue her visit. The princess found that she had fallen in love with Joe, who had helped her a lot and spent a day and a night with her, and Joe also liked the beautiful, mischievous princess. Joe never revealed his identity, calling himself a businessman who made chemical fertilizers and other chemicals. But Joe and the princess both know that although they are really in love with each other, but the gap in identity, their love can only be the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror. When Joe drove the princess back to the embassy, the two kissed each other reluctantly.
Princess Anne's trip to Rome was coming to an end, and the "recovered" princess held a press conference at the embassy. Joe and Owen also attended the conference as media reporters. In order to maintain the beautiful image of the princess and to cherish the love hidden in his soul, Joe resolutely decided to give up the generous remuneration promised to him by the newspaper, and refused to publish to any media the most authentic first-hand information of the princess he obtained in Rome. The princess found Joe and Owen taking pictures with a lighter, remembering that when she was touring and playing with Joe and Owen, Owen had used lighters frequently, and now that she knew that Owen and Joe were journalists, her heart was tight. On the day of her free activities, she was a wild crazy civilian girl, she smoked, sat on the street and ate ice cream, was caught riding a motorcycle in violation of the law, and also attacked the plainclothes of her country that wanted to bring her back to the embassy... And all this will bring a fatal blow to the image of the royal family.
After the interview, the princess offered to meet with the media reporters. The princess came to Owen, and after Owen introduced his identity, he gave the princess a large bag of photos and asked her to keep them as a souvenir. The princess took out the photographs of her smoking in the café, carefully holding out her hand in front of the mouth of truth, and tapping her plainclothes with a guitar in the water ballroom. The newsworthiness and political effect of the photographs was self-evident, but Owen gave it to her as a gift, and the princess was deeply touched by Owen's sincerity and thanked her one after another. The princess came to Joe's presence, and Joe humbly introduced himself: New Press reporter Joe Bradley. The princess was full of emotions and thoughts, and thanked the reporter Joe who gave her so much help, but was not moved by money and fame. She looked at him affectionately, held his hand tightly, and silently bid him farewell.

In order to live freely for a day, the princess sneaked out of the room, climbed into a tricycle, and sneaked out of the embassy.
American journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Parker) saw a girl sleeping on the street, thinking she had drunk too much. But he couldn't wake her up.
Joe Bradley didn't know where the girl's house was and couldn't wake her up, and the taxi driver didn't want to be nosy and had to take her back to his place.
The sudden disappearance of the princess caused great panic in the embassy and the princess's entourage.
Joe gambled and threw the girl sleeping on the bed onto the sofa, but the girl still slept and did not wake up, and Joe cried and laughed.
Joe went to work at the newspaper, saw the newspaper, and realized that the "drunkard" he brought home turned out to be a famous princess of a certain country.
The editor-in-chief made a bet with Joe that he would be rewarded with $5,000 for a valuable princess scoop and rewarded him with $500 out of his own pocket.
Joe came home with the newspaper, and the girl hadn't woken up yet. He checked the pictures in the newspaper and confirmed that she was the princess without a doubt.
The princess finally woke up and thanked Joe for her help. She borrowed some money from Joe and went shopping on her own to see the life of the citizens of Rome.
The princess first went to the beauty shop to cut her hair short and changed her hairstyle.
The owner of the flower shop sent flowers to the princess, and the princess had no money, so the boss took out a flower and gave it to her.
The princess sat in the street eating ice cream, and Joe pretended to meet her on a walk and chatted with the princess again.
Joe leads the princess to the café, where she drinks and plays like a naughty commoner's child.
Owen pretended to light a cigarette for the princess and took the opportunity to take pictures with a lighter camera, but the princess did not know.
Joe drives a motorcycle and takes the princess on a tour of the streets of Rome.
The scene of the princess and Joe touring Rome was photographed by Owen.
The princess had a great time, ran wild in the streets on a self-driving motorcycle, caused a lot of trouble, and was taken to the police station by the police.
The princess asked Joe why you said you were a journalist and they let me go? Joe hurriedly covered up the past, not revealing his identity.
Joe took the princess to the "mouth of truth", and the princess was afraid that her hand would not be bitten and did not dare to reach out. Joe then put his hand in his mouth and deliberately frightened the princess.
Joe then brings the princess to the Wall of Wish Come True and asks her to make a silent wish.
The princess was having fun at the water park, but she did not expect that she had been found in plain clothes from home to look for her.
Plainclothes forcibly pulls the princess back to the embassy, and Joe and Owen get into a fight with plainclothes. When the princess saw this, she also picked up a guitar and threw it at the head of the plainclothes.
The princess knew she had to go back and be a princess again. She loves Joe, but the gap in identity makes this love only a flower in the moon mirror in the water.
Joe sent the princess back to the embassy. He looked at the princess's back and remembered the happy scene with her, and his heart fluctuated.
Joe decided that no matter how much money he had, he would never reveal any information about the princess to any media.
Towards the end of the Princess's trip to Rome, a press conference was held at the embassy.
Owen gave up his fame and fortune and gave the princess a souvenir of his secretly photographed life in Rome. The princess was very impressed.
The princess shook Joe's hand, and Joe finally identified himself: New Press reporter Joe Bradley.
The princess remembered the little bits and pieces of rome and was touched by the friendliness of Joe and Owen. She gazed affectionately at beloved Joe and silently bid him farewell.
The press conference was over, and Joe stared at the princess's figure until she disappeared, and then reluctantly left.
