Shen Yuan transmigrates into a world that is very similar to his own except he is the single son to a family who just died and left him with a house that is said to be haunted.
In true Shen Yuan fashion he thinks this place is just normal until he realizes he reincarnated into the distant future of the novel PIDW in which for some reason many important people including Shen Qingqiu and Binghe ended up buried right underneath the house and because of their deaths their spirits roam the house. Basically, he was cheated into living into a haunted house since his family didn't have much money and he can't get a job.
Once again, in true Shen Yuan fashion he wife beams many of the ghosts there and even befriends his neighbor who just happens to be the hack author who created this entire novel and is now haunted evilly by the ghosts once they find out thanks to Shen Yuan that their predicament is his fault.
Many of the ghosts' grievances are cured by Shen Yuan and they move on but the people who like Shen Yuan (some of them not romantically but more of they want to keep having tea and gossip with him) now follow him around and prevent anyone trying to hit on him to have a good day. By the end of it, Shen Yuan is between the option to find Xin Mo and with the magic of sex give the ghosts there a body and then they have to have sex so they can keep that body or he can just find a plant which he remembers from some obscure chapter so he doesn't have to have papapa.
