A newspaper reporter, Yuan Yongding (played by Tony Leung), encounters a woman named Ruohua (played by Anita Mui), who has come to place a missing person advertisement. He accidentally discovers that this alluring woman is actually a ghost. Fifty years ago, she was a renowned courtesan who met a wealthy scion, the Twelfth Young Master Chen Zhenbang (played by Leslie Cheung). Ruohua fell deeply in love with this romantic young man, and they reached a point of discussing marriage. However, due to their social differences, the Twelfth Young Master’s family strongly opposed their relationship. In desperation, they made a pledge with a rouge and intended to die together by consuming opium. Ruohua, not being able to find her lover in the underworld, returns to the living world to search for him. With the help of two reporters, Ruohua learns that the Twelfth Young Master was revived years ago and is now living in poverty. Faced with his weakness, Ruohua is heartbroken, returns the rouge and chooses to reincarnate in the afterlife.
