The day after Luo Guilan died, her son, Tian Baozhu, sold her, coffin and all, for 88,000 yuan to arrange a ghost marriage with an old man from another family. During her lifetime, she constantly criticized her daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoqin. Yet after her death, the only person who tried to stop them from selling her was that very daughter-in-law. Luo Guilan's spirit enters Xiaoqin's body, and she slaps her son across the face, exposing how he used the money from selling his own mother to buy a gold bracelet for his mistress. But this body is only borrowed. Her daughter-in-law must learn to stand on her own, her granddaughter must be allowed to grow up, and her son must take responsibility for his own mistakes. Over forty-nine days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go from conflict to reconciliation. Luo Guilan helps her daughter-in-law find her strength, while her daughter-in-law preserves the last shred of dignity she has left.
