Gil Chae knows how to get men to fall for her but fails to capture the heart of the person she likes. Lee Jang Hyun is a mysterious man who suddenly appears in the Neunggun-ri social scene one day. Nobody really knows about him. Young nobles don't like him while he has elderly people wrapped around his finger. He's been dating around a lot but becomes curious about a certain 99 tailed fox.
