No matter what the source of the tale-- novels of the Wei-Jin era, classic ghost stories of the Qing dynasty, or the countless phantasmic films of Yao Feng-pan--all the scripts seem to be the same: love between a beautiful ghostess and a young scholar. Never has a story told of male ghost falling in love with a young woman, nor of romance between spirits.
不論是魏晉南北朝的筆記小說，清朝的經典鬼故事聊齋，甚或鬼導演姚鳳磐的眾多鬼電影，所有的鬼故事千篇一律都是「女鬼愛書生」，從來就沒有一部男鬼愛上美少女的故事，也不曾有男鬼、女鬼相戀的畫面出現。
