Qian Yunxi is the eldest daughter of the Grand Councilor, but she was sent away to live on Mt. Lingyun because of her "ominous" ability to see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. When her younger sister refuses to marry the notorious "Ice Prince," Ye Youming—who is a political enemy of their father—Yunxi is forced to take her place.

Entering the cold and haunted palace as an unwanted bride, Yunxi doesn't cower. Instead, she uses her martial arts and psychic powers to befriend the ghosts residing in her abandoned living quarters. The series follows the comedic and romantic tension as the stern Prince Ye attempts to break her spirit, only to find himself increasingly captivated by her chaotic energy. While their relationship deepens, the dark secrets of the imperial court and the true extent of Yunxi's powers begin to surface, threatening the fragile peace between their families.
