Plot
A man called Pu Yung Tsai lives with his cousin who is a student Feng Shui and Mao Shan. Pu Yung Tsai buys an antique desk from a second-hand shop and inside is a suicide letter written by a young woman called Wei Hsiao Tieh. Pu Yung Tsai replies to the letter and gives up 3 years of his life, so the woman is able to come back to earth and get away from her forced marriage. Then Pu Yung Tsai splits up with his girlfriend May because he caught her having an affair. Pu Yung Tsai then begins a relationship with the Wei Hsiao Tieh. Afterwards May wants to get back together with Pu Yung Tsai because her rich boyfriend has dumped her. She stages a suicide for Pu Yung Tsai benefit but it backfires and she dies.[2]
She then returns as a ghost in a night club and Pu Yung Tsai, his cousin, his cousin's master and his friend attempted to get rid of her spirit. She chases them all around the club trying to kill them but then Wei Hsiao Tieh turns up after making a deal with her husband to go back to him, if he will get rid of May's ghost. The husband then turns up and eats May and then returns to his own realm.[2]
