The Confucian scholar Zhang Yudan (played by Huang Guoqiang) encounters Lu Feifei (played by Zhao Xueqin), the daughter of Lu Gong, the governor of Yizhai, who is hunting, and falls in love with her. Unexpectedly, Lu Feifei dies suddenly due to excessive killing. Duke Lu buried his daughter in the Xiao Temple where Zhang Yudan was studying. That night, Zhang Yudan burned incense in the mourning hall to express his condolences, and soon fell asleep on the ground. In the dead of night, shrill screams came from the coffin, awakening Zhang Yudan from his deep sleep. The female Taoist priest came in and told Zhang Yudan that if she could recite sutras for Feifei's ghost thousands of times, Feifei would be relieved of his punishment in the underworld. After Yudan heard this, she would recite sutras continuously every day. Day after day, Feifei finally appeared in front of his soul, and the two talked about the pain of missing each other. A few years later, on a dark and windy night, black and white came unexpectedly, dragging Feifei away who was intoxicated in happiness. Yu Dan was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he was helpless. The Land Lord (played by Liu Jinshan) told Yu Dan that it was the Lord of Hell who reincarnated Feifei, and Yu Dan was overjoyed to hear this... This film is adapted from the chapter "Gong and Daughter of Lu" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
