The gong is a celestial master. By day, he poses as the unreliable fortune-teller downstairs who gives three readings a day.
The shou is a ghost bride, a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit forced into a ghost marriage because of feudal superstition.
But the gong doesn't realize who she is. He thinks she's a frail, divorced neighbor raising a little girl, struggling to get by.
If he can help, he will. Whenever he sees her, even when he's so poor he can barely afford food, he still gives her something to eat.
The shou doesn't realize who he is either. She thinks he's a rebellious teenage girl with a little broken bowl, having a hard time and still bringing her gifts.
If she can help, she will. The little girl has fallen in with the wrong crowd, and it's not easy for her either. After a moment's thought, the shou agrees to the gong's advances.
