Xu Yuan, a graduate student in folklore, arrives in Luohe Town to investigate the custom of ghost marriage. To his surprise, his birth details are an exact match for those of Du Wenjin, the groom in an unfinished ghost-marriage ceremony from a hundred years ago. As his investigation progresses, he and Su Yu, the director of the local cultural center, gradually uncover a horrifying truth: the ghost marriage was actually an evil life-extending ritual plotted by the Du and Zhou families' ancestors, and the vengeful spirit of Lin Wanrong, who died a tragic death back then, has never found peace. As Du Wenjin's soul gradually awakens within Xu Yuan, Su Yu is chosen as the next sacrifice because she shares Lin Wanrong's birth details. The two must break the century-old curse within 48 hours, or history will repeat itself in a tragedy of burying the living with the dead.
