Ning Choi San is on his way to take the government official exam, along with his second older brother Ning Choi Kwan who is with him to take the army general exam. While listening to a fellow scholar tell other scholars about his encounter with a female ghost, Choi San offends him by questioning his integrity and causes both Choi San and Choi Kwan to be thrown out of the inn they are staying at. With nowhere to stay for the night, they decide to stay at an abandoned shrine. At the shrine they encounter Nip Siu Sin who tells them that she is a ghost. Looking at her haggard old appearance both Choi San and Choi Kwan do not believe her. Wanting to prove herself right, Siu Sin almost disintegrates from the sunlight but is saved when Choi San helps her inside the shrine. Seeing how Choi Kwan was rude to her, Siu San sabotages his examination while trying to help Choi San, who was nice to her, pass his examination. However, Siu San's plan to help Choi San backfires when she is discovered and hunted by a Taoist priest named Yin Chek Ha. Choi San who was just passing by unknowingly saves Siu Sin from Chek Ha, making Siu Sin promise to be by his side until her gratitude can be repaid.
