Princess Lillifee and her friends enjoy a sunny summer in the fairy land of Rosarien when, one night, Rosalie the unicorn appears in Lillifee's dream to solicit her help: asking her to take care of her baby, Lucy. When Lillifee wakes up, she discovers that Lucy has magically left her dream and is now sitting on her bed - full of beans. At first everyone is excited, because touching the horn of a unicorn means that any wish will be granted! Only Lillifee gets worried. What will become of Rosalie?

And so Lillifee decides to return Lucy to her mother. In order to find Rosalie, Lillifee heads to the neighboring land of Bluetopia with the unicorn baby and her friends, hoping to find Lucy’s parents. But there they make a terrible discovery: a curse has been put on the land! In the middle of summer it is freezing cold. Everything is covered with ice and snow. Only the magical powers of a unicorn can melt the ice. But Lucy is still a baby and the wishes don't come true that easily, so Lillifee has to find Lucy's parents to rid the land of the terrible curse...
