To win Jiang Shiyun's heart, Jin Shaoyang writes a supernatural tale called Seven Matches. But by the pond, he unexpectedly finds seven matches glowing with an eerie green light, and an unknown presence tells him, "You have six chances." After that, every time he strikes a match, someone close to him, including Wei Shao, the coach, Li Rongrong, and Wang Yujian, loses their soul and becomes a mindless walking corpse. The matches are connected to the lonely ghost of Liu Zhijian, who was burned to death four years ago. Using the matches as a lure, he exploits Jin Shaoyang's desires to gather the "seven souls," intent on making seven people suffer the same fate he did. In the end, with Jiang Shiyun bringing him back to his senses, Jin Shaoyang fights fire with fire and swallows the last match, defeating Liu Zhijian and restoring everyone to normal.
