A meticulously planned car accident abruptly ended the life of Lin Shu, a 30-year-old entrepreneur. When he regained consciousness, he found himself a wandering spirit, unable to be sensed or touch anything. He could see his parents hiding their blood pressure medication and stoically handling the aftermath. He could hear his girlfriend, Su Wan, speaking to an old photograph, telling it how much she missed him. He also watched his childhood friend Chen Yang face threats as he investigated the truth behind the so-called accident. The agony of being separated from the living by death, and his determination to protect his loved ones, became the only reasons he remained in this world.
By chance, he helped a little girl who had died in a car accident deliver her final wish, and unexpectedly gained a faint golden power born of gratitude. It was a “power of faith” that let him stir a sheet of paper and make the faintest sound. From then on, Lin Shu embarked on an unusual path of cultivation: helping an elderly person living alone find a will, clearing up a misunderstanding for a young man who had tried to take his own life, and reuniting a mother and child who had been separated. Each obsession he resolved gave him more power, taking him from the “Faint Light Stage” to “Semi-Physical,” and then to “Fully Physical,” where his loved ones could embrace him.
As his power grew, the conspiracy behind the car accident also came to light: his distant cousin Zhou Ming had orchestrated everything out of business resentment, with his former business partner Zhao Kun acting as an accomplice. Lin Shu joined forces with Chen Yang and met Old Qin, who could communicate with the dead, and a nurse named Xiao Ya. Together, they established the “Pavilion of Returning Wishes.” They used the power of faith to cleanse evil spirits and help more departed souls fulfill their wishes, while gathering evidence that would ultimately bring Zhou Ming to justice.
From a powerless wandering spirit to an eternal guardian of faith, Lin Shu proved with his life that death is never the end. The bonds we share with our loved ones and our commitment to kindness are the eternal paths that carry us across life and death. Here are the concerns parents hide in old clothes, Su Wan’s wait across the years, and Chen Yang’s unwavering faith
