Fairy Tale Entropy Reduction Agency

Antique book restorer Shen Yan accidentally activates a dimensional anchor and becomes a "ferryman" between the real world and the world of fairy tales. He discovers that the fantastical realm formed by classic fairy tales is on the verge of collapse. By forging deep bonds with fairy-tale characters, he can draw out their magic, strength, and talents, such as a mermaid's power of the deep, a knight's art of defeating foes, and a witch's secrets of transformation.

As abilities like "Forest Sense" and "Temporary Creation" merge into his blood, Shen Yan realizes that the fairy-tale world's decline stems from the real world's forgetfulness. Faced with the corrupted Shadow Earl, Little Red Riding Hood taking up arms against fate, and the Little Mermaid refusing to sacrifice herself for love, he must choose between taking their abilities and protecting his original intentions.

Shen Yan joins forces with Lin Wanqiu, an editor who can sense the emotions of fairy tales. Together, they awaken people's faith in fairy tales in the real world and gather awakened characters in the fairy-tale realm. Traveling between the two worlds, Shen Yan finally understands that the most powerful ability is not borrowed magic, but the courage to bring warmth back to the "forgotten."
