Synopsis
San, a Chinese immigrant, fell in love with Khun Wat, the daughter of a Thai aristocrat. Their romance began when she helped him recover after he was severely injured, healing him with the "five-colored stone" at a temple dedicated to a goddess. Tragically, as star-crossed lovers, Khun Wat died. San attempted to use the mystical stone's power to save her, but it was in vain. The only way for them to be together again was for San to enter a century-long contract of immortality with the temple goddess, agreeing to wait for Khun Wat to be reborn. The catch was that he would be tormented every night; if he failed to reunite with her, he would also face a tragic death for eternity. After patiently waiting for 100 years, San met Vee, who is believed to be Khun Wat's reincarnation. However, Vee is also a man.
