In the Qing Dynasty, after failing to get the top score in the examination more than ten times, Zhu Xiucai became angry with his father and divorced his wife. He also committed suicide by hanging from a beam in a temple because of injustice. As a result, he was unable to reincarnate and his soul was attached to the hemp rope he used when he committed suicide.
Time came to the 1980s. Hong Kong high school girls Lin Xiaohua, Lin Jingjing and Yan Ruyu encountered a storm on their summer trip. To avoid the rain, they broke into the temple where Zhu Xiucai committed suicide. After the rain, Lin Jingjing panicked and took the hemp rope with Zhu Xiucai's soul attached to it. When they were brought into the room, there were a lot of screams, but as the communication deepened, they gradually became friends with Zhu Xiucai who talked about everything, and through each other's encouragement, they became clearer about the way to go next - of course, there were a lot of jokes in the process.
