Tianjin

I.

As the founding master's chief disciple, Zhou Yi has lived for a thousand years under a curse. He hides in plain sight in the bustling city, running a little shop where he gathers news from all walks of life, hoping to find a way to die.

Then he meets Hang Jinting, whose main occupation is being the only living heir to Jinmen, while his side job is teaching.

In the end, though he has spent all this time wanting to die, has he really found someone he can't let go of?

II.

On the surface, Hang Jinting is an ordinary high school Chinese teacher. In secret, he has been investigating his master's death all along. Then he meets Zhou Yi, and discovers the strange little shop tucked away in a corner of the bustling city.

He is suspicious at first, but spending time with Zhou Yi gradually changes his mind.

In the end, he starts to wonder: his partner is his grandmaster's disciple, so what does that make their seniority?

III.

This is a mysterious incense shop that appears in a corner of a city's busiest district once every ten years. The shop has no sign, only its owner and his assistant. Neither of them knows how to run a business, and they rarely open their doors.

Later, it takes the name Jinmen. Beneath Jinmen, one story after another is passed down.

Two celestial masters. The shou is gentle yet sharp-tongued; the gong is refined yet completely unhinged.
