In the fictional country of Daeho, young mages struggle to overcome twisted fates caused by the forbidden "alchemy of souls," a spell that swaps souls between bodies. Naksu, an elite assassin, finds her soul trapped in the weak body of Mu Deok, a servant to the noble Jang Family. Jang Uk, the young master of the Jang Family, harbors a dark secret about his birth and seeks Naksu's help to change his destiny.
In an era when demons have dominion over cultivators and mortals, the cultivator elders believe it is imperative to send someone back in time to discover the origin of the demon lord and prevent his resurrection. Li Su Su accepts the mission and assumes the identity of mortal Ye Xi Wu, the second daughter of General Ye. She's married to Tantai Jin, the captive prince and future demon lord, and is determined to destroy him, aware that in the future he will come to massacre many. But as witness to Tantai Jin's past life and rise to power, an unexpected tale emerges, one complicating her quest.
Set in an alternate version of Korea ruled by a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century. The story follows Chaebol heiress Seong Hui Ju, who is frustrated by her 'commoner' status despite having everything, and melancholic Grand Prince Yi An, whose royal blood is his only identity and who has nothing despite being the son of the king. Seong Hui Ju, the second daughter of Korea’s wealthiest conglomerate, is blessed with striking beauty, brains, and a fierce competitive streak, yet she is limited by her status as a 'commoner'. She then chooses to enter a contract marriage with Grand Prince Yi An to gain the one thing she lacks — royal status. Meeting Yi An, a man who shares a similar predicament to hers but has made different life choices, marks a turning point in her life. Grand Prince is a title granted to another son of the king born to the queen consort in the Joseon Dynasty, signifying his royal lineage while placing him outside the direct line of succession to the throne. Prince Yi An, despite his royal blood, is unable to truly own anything and leads a life of sorrow. As the second son of the royal family, he has been forced to suppress his passionate desires and live in silence, but he is still regarded as the "most beloved royal" by the people due to his innate dignity and charm. Accustomed to hiding his true self, his life begins to change as he meets Seong Hui Ju, who resembles him in some ways but has made different choices, through their contract marriage
