'Whether I remember or not, it seems I am destined to love you.'

Lady Seomun Bin harbors a dangerous secret: she is a cross-dressing byeoksa, or ghost-stalker. Born with the terrifying gift to see spirits, she disguises herself as a man to perform exorcisms in a desperate bid to break a demonic curse that threatens everyone around her.

When Bin sneaks into a lavish party at the chief state councillor’s estate, she collides with Hyun Eun-ho, a royal investigator sent by the King to uncover treason. Drawn to Bin by an inexplicable force, Eun-ho seeks to draw closer, while Bin attempts to pull away. Yet, inescapable threads of fate continue to bind them together.

As sinister dark forces rise from the Underworld and thin the boundary between realms, evil threatens to consume the royal court. Bin and Eun-ho must join forces to confront the darkness, save the kingdom, and unlock the truth of their destined connection.
