On the eve of their freshman year, Faye Zheng, Anya Ren, and Ivy Xu vow to dive into romance in college—with Faye even wishing to dream of a handsome guy that very night. However, Quinn Huo, skilled in divination, warns them that the night is highly inauspicious and that they must not trust anyone they meet in their dreams. Faye brushes off the warning. That night, she dreams of a charming stranger, Jared Wu, who leaves her his contact. After waking, she eventually adds him on WeChat. They chat late into every night, and Faye grows increasingly pale and drained. Sensing something wrong, Quinn confronts her, revealing Jared is not among the living, but Faye dismisses it as jealousy. To prove her boyfriend is normal, Faye spends a night out with Jared. When she doesn’t return, her roommates search for her in panic. Later, Faye becomes pregnant with Jared’s “ghost fetus.”
