I hardly remember the plot from the 80s classic movie A Chinese Ghost Story (倩女幽魂) or the original short story from the Strange Tales of Liao Zhai (聊齋誌異) by Pu Song Ling but the quite detailed story outline and character descriptions posted on Baidu’s Weini forum makes this drama very intriguing. I won’t translate everything because it’s rather lengthy but here’s a summary of the story outline.
