In Joseon, chaos stirs as dangerous spirits begin haunting the royal palace and capital. Three unlikely allies must come together to stop them:

• Yoon Gap (Yook Sung-jae) – A brilliant and handsome government official whose life takes a wild turn after being possessed by an Imugi, a mythical serpent.
• Yeo-ri (Bona) – A strong-willed shaman with a traumatic past involving the same Imugi… and Yoon Gap’s first love. Talk about complicated.
• King Lee Sung (Kim Ji-hoon) – A reformist monarch determined to purge supernatural forces from his kingdom, no matter what it takes.

Together, they must fight against powerful spirits, navigate messy romantic feelings, and face their own pasts—all while trying not to be completely overwhelmed by the chaos around them.
