A young Heo Yeon-woo (Kim Yoo-jung) enters the palace to attend her brother, Heo Yeom's (Yim Si-wan) examination congratulatory ceremony. Crown Prince Lee Won (Yeo Jin-goo) happens to run into Yeon-woo and falls in love with her.

After Yeon-woo is announced to be the Crown Princess, Queen Dowager secretly orders her death. She intends to let Yoon Bo-kyung (Kim So-hyun) from her own family clan to be the Crown Princess.

Head shaman Jang Nok-young (Jeon Mi-seon) is forced to cast a spell on Yeon-woo with unknown sickness. After dying, Yeon-woo is resurrected from her grave but loses her memories. Crown Prince Lee Won unwillingly marries Bo-kyung.  

Eight years later, Lee Won (Kim Soo-hyun) is now the King. Yeon-woo (Han Ga-in) is now Shaman Wol (which means "moon"). Unaware of Wol's identity, Queen Dowager calls her to the palace to cure King's "illness". In fact, Lee Won's heart is still with the late Yeon-woo.

The King is struck by Wol's resemblance to Yeon-woo, and he quietly launches an investigation into Yeon-woo's death. Meanwhile, Wol struggles to understand the strange memories of her life as Yeon-woo, which she interprets as shamanic visions.

Loved this drama very much even the young Yoo-jung and Jin-goo acted so well!
