The story follows a fairy named Sun Ok Nam who comes to the human world and loses her fairy clothes while bathing. A kind woodcutter finds her clothes and eventually marries her. They live happily together and have children, but one day the woodcutter accidentally dies.
Believing her husband will be reincarnated, Sun Ok Nam decides to remain in the human world and wait for his return. Hundreds of years later, she is now a 699-year-old barista who runs a small coffee shop. To ordinary people she appears as an old woman, but to special people she appears as a young woman.
She also has the magical ability to talk to plants and animals. When two men appear who might be the reincarnation of her husband, she begins searching for the truth while rediscovering love, family, and her past.
