Overview: Luk Siu Fung, an owner of a pizzeria, unexpectedly succumbs to a heart attack. However, her spirit was unable to cross over to the other side, thus, she resurrects into the body of a young woman.

Yet, the plot thickens when a woman, unrelated to the family and is physically identical to Siu Fung, appears, and Siu Fung's husband thinks that that woman is his wife.
