When a naïve woodcutter steals the robe of a fairy descended from heaven, he condemns her to centuries trapped in the human realm. In the present day, the fairy is known as Mo-Ran Cheon, a renowned actress who is unexpectedly accused of murder. Bitter and resentful from her exile, Mo-Ran sees her plot for vengeance take shape when she discovers that Je-Ha Sa, a police detective tasked with investigating the murder, is the reincarnated woodcutter of centuries past.
