After the war in the Ning Dynasty, the pharmacist Lin Wanzhao was forced to marry the general Gu Zhaozhi (ghost husband) who died in the war because his father owed gambling debts. On the wedding night, she discovered that her ghost husband was not as vicious as rumored, but instead protected her gently. After that, the two worked together to solve the chaos caused by ghosts in the folk - the heroine used pharmacology to appease the ghosts, and the hero used ghost power to protect the people. In the process, they went from strangers to dependence, and gradually developed love. In the end, they calmed down the resentment of the ghost leader, and the male protagonist gave up the opportunity of reincarnation and stayed with the female protagonist in the world.
