This summons the ghost of Mao Mao (Austin Lin), who was discussing marriage with his boyfriend but died in an accident. Mao Mao's grandma (Wang Man-Chiao), sad that her grandson died unmarried, comes up with the idea of ghost marriage, and convinces Wu Ming-han to marry her unseen grandson. Much to Wu Ming-han’s shock and surprise, he discovers Mao Mao’s ghost is real. Unhappy about being married, Wu Ming-han begins to attempt to escape the marriage to no avail. With his ghostly partner in tow, he works with his fellow policewoman Lin Tzu-ching (Gingle Wang) to investigate a major case in their department.
