Plot
500 years ago, ten Kam-Yi-Wai are taking an order to kill a bunch of vampires of unknown origins. While one escaped from the mission, others were killed by vampires. After the vampires left, the nine Kam-Yi-Wai's dead bodies were struck by the lightning and turned into undead-humans.
500 years later, the nine undead-humans hide in the people, seeking and killing vampires as their responsibility. They believe they could be mortal again if they kill all the vampires.
Lam Mung-Nam is a vampire that is trying to be a human for a decade. She hides in the Lam's family, resides with her human sister, Lam Mung-Yiu, whose parents were killed by vampires, causing her not to speak anymore, and her grandmother, Wong Chi-Hung.
Once upon a time, Wong Chi-hung rescue 3 youths who are searching for vampires. One of them, Ghost Yau Ling-mui, steals a ring from the vampiress Xenia's tomb. While they are back in Hong Kong, some supernatural things happen. Ghost starts having a mind reading ability, and stomachache. Xenia wants them to return the magic ring and claims that it's the thing that passed down by her family, she has the responsibility to keep it safe.
Ghost's best friends, Ho Nin and Ho Yuet, are students from a martial art school, Ceoi-Yi School, whose creator Kam Kin learned the martial art skill from one of the nine undead-human, Ying Wut-Zoek (who at the time was calling himself Ying Zoi-sang). Except the siblings Ho Nin and Ho Yuet, Kam Kim also has a student that works with Mung-Lam as forensic medical doctor.
After Kam Kin dies, he passes his student to Ying Wut-zoek, asking him to take care of them, and train them to be the vampire hunters.
