Susaeng, the girl in love
Sujingung Palace is known for a ghost that grants people wishes. Susaeng is a girl from a low-class family, and she is about to wish for a romantic relationship with the handsome prince, Neungchanggun. Once it gets dark, she places a piece of paper with her wish written on it in a jar, just as she has heard. Suddenly, the jar, which was empty, spews out fire, and she drops it. Later, Susaeng hears that prince Neungchanggun is getting married. This goes against her wish, and she blames the ghost of Sujingung.
Baekham, the frustrated ghost in the jar
Baekham, the ghost who doesn't remember how he died. Because Susaeng broke the jar, Baekham has awoken after 7 years. Because the jar is broken, Baekham has lost his energy. He can move with Susaeng, but can't do anything on his own. So he asks Susaeng whether she wants him to bother her forever or if they should try to help each other. Susaeng finds another similar looking jar, and when Baekham enters it, he gets his energy back. With this, Baekham decides to take full advantage of Susaeng.
The secret agreement between Susaeng and Baekham
Susaeng said she would grant his wish once he showed her his ghostly powers. She asks that Neungchanggun's marriage be stopped. Baekham proclaims that her wish has been granted, but Susaeng does not believe him. She wanders around the prince's house looking for evidence that the marriage has been cancelled. When she encounters Neungchanggun, she assumes that Baekham has transformed into Neungchanggun and starts to ask questions about why he lied about the wedding. But it's the real prince, and he remembers Susaeng.
The secret of the jar
Baekham and Susaeng become close through their minor arguments. One day, Susaeng dresses up as a man and participates in an archery competition.
