"This story is set during  Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), where Hong Chun Gi is a talented painter, who once was blind, but regained her sight through a miracle. Now she is considered a true rare jewel in Joseon, where Confucian values dictate that such practices are forbidden to women. One day, she meets Ha Ram, a  mysterious astrologer whose fate is the complete opposite to that of her own: he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless of this fact, he has one astounding talent: Despite being blind, he can still read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night. Hong Chun Gi falls for Ha Ram, and is determined to win his heart.  But these two star crossed lovers get accidentally involved in a turbulent and bloody competition for power, that takes place inside the cold walls of the Royal palace."
