HorrorRomance

A female ghost appeared in a barren mound near Yangjiazhuang, wailing every night and terrifying the villagers. The feathered priest of the God of Wealth Temple tells the villagers to offer food and paper money to the female ghost, and the female ghost is indeed much quieter, but she only takes food and not paper money. When a young man, Wang Yuan Sheng, comes back from a trip, he does not see his child bride, Xiu Fang. His mother tells him that Xiu Fang has been having an affair with someone since he left and is pregnant, so she has already run away from home. Knowing that Xiu Fang is pregnant with her own child, Yuan Sheng does not believe his mother's story. Mother Wang is frightened by the ghost's screams and falls ill. Yuan Sheng becomes suspicious of the ghost's true identity because the ghost only takes food.
