Marry My Dead Body (2022)

The homophobic and ghost-phobic policeman Wu Ming-han (Greg Hsu) works in the vice department. While collecting evidence from a car crash resulting from his current case, he mistakenly picks up a red envelope, a traditional method of entrapping someone into a ghost marriage. This summons the ghost of Mao Mao (Austin Lin), who was discussing marriage with his boyfriend but died in an accident. Mao Mao's grandma (Wang Man-Chiao), sad that her grandson died unmarried, comes up with the idea of ghost marriage, and convinces Wu Ming-han to marry her unseen grandson. After a series of unlucky events, Ming-han agrees to the marriage. Much to Ming-han's shock and surprise, he discovers Mao Mao's ghost is real. The taoist who officiated the ritual tells him that he shares a past-life connection with Mao Mao and therefore needs to solve his murder to be free of him.

Unhappy about being married to a man, Ming-han begins to attempt to escape the marriage to no avail. With his ghostly partner in tow, he works with his fellow policewoman Lin Tzu-ching (Gingle Wang) to investigate a major case in their department. Ming-Han is able to make a major breakthrough in the case, but is pulled off the case when he is unable to explain his ability to know things only Mao Mao would be able to see, through his ghostly ability.

After a confrontation with Mao Mao’s ex-boyfriend, Mao Mao and Ming-Han come to peace. The two gather and speak by a nearby river and Mao Mao flies up to the sky (presumably to reincarnate). Soon after, Mao Mao returns to warn Ming-Han that his boss is the informant for the local crime gang and is going to attempt to flee to Macau. The police force, Mao Mao and Ming-Han catch the gang and engage in a shootout. Ming-Han catches his boss and confronts him. While questioning his boss, Wu Ming-Han realize Mao-Mao mis-heard his boss: it is Lin Tzu-ching who is the real informant and is planning to frame them for the crime lord's murder.

Tzu-ching escapes and leaves her former colleagues to fight the rest of the gang. Ming-Han is mortally wounded and Mao Mao possesses the drivers to clear the highway for the ambulance. Though they make it in time to save him, Mao Mao's spirit is close to disappearing from possessing dozens of people, which wounds his ghostly form. Mao Mao's father comes to visit and they have a conversation about him. The emotional revelation revitalizes Mao Mao and he moves on to the afterlife. Ming-han continues living his life, but keeps Mao Mao in his memory.
