Synopsis
In 1920s Thailand, San, a Chinese immigrant, falls in love with Khun Wat, the daughter of a Thai aristocrat. Their romance begins when she helps him recover after a severe injury, healing him with the "five-colored stone" at a temple dedicated to the goddess Nüwa. Tragically, as star-crossed lovers, Khun Wat dies. San attempts in vain to use the mystical stone's power to save her. The only way for them to be together again is for San to enter a century-long contract of immortality with Nüwa, agreeing to wait for Khun Wat to be reborn. The catch is that he will be tormented with pain every night; and if he fails to reunite with her, he will also face a tragic death for eternity. After searching for nearly 100 years, San meets Vee, who is believed to be Khun Wat's reincarnation. Unexpectedly however, Vee is male.
