Ah-May (portrayed by Mondi Yau Yuet Ching) leaves the realm of the dead for the human world in search of a worthy husband. Her older brother, the Taoist deity Chung Kuey (portrayed by Wu Ma), joins her with his underling. Ah-May sets her eyes on Simon, a gigolo (portrayed by Mark Cheng) who is chased by the underworldly siblings and seeks help from a Taoist priest (portrayed by Lam Ching-ying) to exorcise them.[3] Apart from Chung Kuey/Zhong Kui, the following Chinese deities also play a role in the movie: King Yan and Tudigong.
