In the summer of 1998, seven-year-old Ah Chen was destined to suffer five evils, three shortcomings, two calamities, and was haunted by hundreds of ghosts. Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, he met a female ghost in a blue shirt and was forced to use a strange wooden ruler to measure her body. He almost died. Fortunately, grandma came to the rescue with a mahogany sword and burning yellow paper, but the female ghost had already remembered his birth date. After that, more "dirty things" followed, and there was another "self" hidden inside him.
