Newspaper reporter Yuen Yong-ding (played by Leslie Cheung) encounters a woman named Ju Hua (played by Anita Mui) who comes to place a missing person ad, and he inadvertently discovers that this alluring woman is actually a ghost. Fifty years ago, she was a top-notch prostitute who met a wealthy young man, Twelve Young Master Chan Cheng-bong (played by Leslie Cheung). Ju Hua deeply fell in love with this passionate young master, and they were on the verge of discussing marriage. However, due to their differing social standings, they faced strong opposition from Twelve Young Master’s family. In desperation, they made a love pledge with a rouge hook and together took opium to end their lives. Ju Hua failed to see her lover in the afterlife and thus came to the mortal world to search for him. With the help of two reporters, Ju Hua learns that Twelve Young Master was actually saved and is now living in misery. Faced with his cowardice, Ju Hua is heartbroken, returns the rouge hook, and returns to the underworld to be reincarnated.
