Fantasy Romance

Fantasy Romance is a 1991 Hong Kong romantic fantasy comedy film directed by Taylor Wong and starring Joey Wong, Tony Leung and Deanie Ip.

Plot
One time during a traffic accident, Stupid Shing (Tony Leung), a talented but frustrated manhua artist, encounters female ghost Ching-ching (Joey Wong), who was ready to be married to the Blood Demon. During the accident, Shing's car strayed into the underworld and knocks Ching's spirit to the living world.

When Ching arrives to the living world, she has no knowledge about the environment. Fortunately, she meets the Ghost whore (Deanie Ip), where they tell their life experiences to one another. The Ghost whore was a young widow who was accused of adultery and as a result, she and her son were drowned to death.

Ching has a soft spot for Shing and secretly uses her supernatural powers to helps him to move up in his career to become a popular cartoonist, which, however, causes her to become increasingly frail. On the other hand, the Ghost whore's son finally gets the chance to reincarnate as a human. For this to happen, however, the Ghost whore must capture and bring Ching back to the underworld to be married to the Blood Demon. For the sake of her son, the Ghost whore unhesitatingly betrays Ching.

In order to save his lover, Shing is determined to break into the underworld to battle with the Blood Demon. Finally, the Ghost whore sacrifices her soul to save Shing and Ching and battles to the death with the Blood Demon.
