Bai Xiao never imagined that the shabby courier station her grandmother left behind, hidden in the mountains of western Hunan, would completely change her life. The night before her grandmother died, Bai Xiao saw the old woman deliver a yellowed letter to a blurred spirit. The moment the letter reached its destination, the spirit vanished in a glow of light, and her grandmother passed away soon after. Only after taking over the “Yin-Yang Courier Station” did Bai Xiao discover that its real business was delivering the unfinished wishes of spirits trapped in the human world. A letter to one's family, an old keepsake, a few words left unsaid: every delivery tells the story of a spirit unable to rest in peace. From a bloodstained package handed over by a Yellow River corpse collector, to the travel belongings of a “bride spirit” entrusted by a corpse-driving shaman from western Hunan, to a wedding invitation for a ghost marriage delivered by a paper doll brought to life with a touch of the brush at a paper effigy shop, Bai Xiao gradually begins to uncover the legend of a vast and secretive “Ghost Post Office.”
