Lady Seomun Bin is hiding a secret.

Cursed to see otherworldly spirits, Bin disguises herself as a man to perform exorcisms as a byeoksaga, or ghost-stalker. Collecting a pearl each time, she is counting as she collects the 108 spirit pearls needed to buy back her freedom from the demon who once cursed her.

When she sneaks into the chief state councillor's home, Bin chances upon Eunho, a trusted advisor to the Kind and one of the Joseon court's most eligible bachelors. Their connection is immediate but while Eunho finds himself drawn to Bin, she does everything she can to avoid him. Yet fate has other plans, continuing to throw them in each other's paths.

When a demonic presence grows in power in the Underworld, the boundaries between the physical world and the one beyond grow thinner. As these evil forces seek to exert their influence over the palace court, will Bin and Eunho be able to work together to overpower them?
