Lin Shen, the owner of a shroud shop with a lonely fate, lost his parents when he was young and was frail. Before his death, his grandfather left two instructions: to inherit the family shroud shop, and to marry a woman born in the lunar year and lunar month before the age of twenty, otherwise he will die suddenly. Su Wan, who was born with the ability to see ghost objects and has been entangled by ghost objects for many years, is the only "antidote" that can prolong his life.
In an accident, Su Wan accidentally broke into Lin Shen's shroud shop to hide from a sex lover. The two met for the first time. Although Lin Shen saw through Su Wan's destiny, he did not reveal the secret because he had no feelings. After that, the campus was haunted, and Lin Shen was invited to exorcise the evil spirits. The two met again. Su Wan found that as long as Lin Shen was around, she would feel at ease inexplicably. Lin Shen also protected Su Wan carefully time and time again, and gradually fell in love with this special girl.
From the hanged ghost and the red-clothed ghost on campus, to the evil corpse in the old house in the countryside, to the magician who manipulates everything behind the scenes, to the fellow junior student Shen Qing who is obsessed with Lin Shen, the two work together to overcome many dangers. In order to win the approval of Su Wan's parents, Lin Shen confessed his feelings and faced the crisis; Su Wan also changed from initial hesitation to resolute choice to tide over the difficulties with Lin Shen. The friendship of "Marriage first, love later" became deeper and deeper through life and death tests.
When the magician was eliminated and the red-clothed ghost was freed, the two cleared the obstacles and entered into marriage. A year later, Su Wan became pregnant, and Lin Shen transformed into a gentle nanny, taking good care of his wife and daughter. Although there are still many dangers ahead, after experiencing life and death, they finally overcome everything and rise to the occasion. In the end, the lovers who were once bound by fate guarded a small shroud shop in the "Paper Candle Town" full of treacherous things, and lived a happy life full of fireworks.
