Shanghai mafia exploits outlawed jiangshi; Lei, a cursed corpse, joins taoist Mei Lan to free all jiangshi and defeat dark taoist Hei Xu.
20th century Shanghai, China. In a society that has outlawed jiangshi, mafia groups have opened businesses exploiting corpses. Lei had his family snatched away from him, and even his own body was made into a jiangshi's. It was then that he met Mei Lan, a beautiful taoist who cracks down on jiangshi related crimes. With his eccentric partner, he intends to make every effort to liberate all jiangshi from their curse and bury the dark taoist, Hei Xu. (Source: Kodansha, translated)
