Shi Yuanshan runs a humble "Yin Yang Tailor Shop" on the outskirts of the city, specializing in making shrouds for the dead. He has the special ability to communicate with ghosts and can see spirits invisible to ordinary people. A female ghost named Lin Suxin came to Shi Yuanshan and asked him to make a special red cheongsam for her, claiming that this was her unfulfilled wish during her lifetime and she was willing to use an ancient jade button as reward.
