Overwhelmed, Li Lan overdoses on medicine given to her by the medium, and accidentally separates her spirit from her body. In addition, Lim Tian Ching makes his way back into her dreams, telling her that Tian Bai murdered him by poisoning his tea. While this works for a short time, Li Lan still finds herself having marriage issues, learning that the Lim family has control over her and her father through her father's unpaid debts and that although Tian Bai was actually originally promised to marry her, he is now betrothed to a daughter of a more prosperous family.

The haunting grows worse and when Li Lan finally gets the courage to tell Amah what has been happening, they consult a medium to try and ward off the spirit of Lim Tian Ching. Things become even more complicated when Lim Tian Ching begins to haunt Li Lan in her dreams, trying to convince her to become his bride even as Li Lan finds herself attracted to his cousin, Tian Bai. Horrified, Li Lan and her father refuse but soon find themselves entangled with the Lim family. Li Lan is a young woman living in Malaya in the late 1880s with her father and her nurse Amah when her family receives the offer for her to become a ghost bride to their deceased son, Lim Tian Ching.
