Heartbeat Under the Eaves

Heartbeat Under the Eaves Plot:

Lin Chuan, a laid-off office worker, lives in a shabby room under the eaves of "Fuxing Li", an old urban neighborhood, making ends meet by delivering takeout. One rainy night, he picks up a bronze lock embedded in a wall crack—its pattern matches his family heirloom jade pendant. Suddenly, he starts hearing "special heartbeats": the neighbor's cat has demonic power, the braised food seller is a reclusive ability user, even the loan shark chasing him has "Yin Spirit Blood"! It turns out the eaves of Fuxing Li hide a "Boundary Gate" connecting the human world and the Spirit Realm, and Lin Chuan is the descendant of the Gate Guardians. When dark spirits break through the Gate to devour the city's vitality, Lin Chuan holds the bronze lock, hearing his own heartbeat—that's the roaring blood of a Guardian. He will guard this eaves, guard the ordinary people around him, and guard his no-longer-ordinary life!
