In the twenty-first century, urban legends began appearing in great numbers. More and more people learned about them, encountered them, and died because of them.
Urban legends could not be defeated.
Fortunately, people with supernatural abilities emerged among humanity. They could seal or destroy urban legends.
Gu Jiong awakened an ability too: the summoning type, [Fairy-Tale Book]. As the name suggests, he could summon objects from fairy tales to help him.
When Gu Jiong saw a long-haired female ghost appearing slowly in his dorm, he activated the skill [A Cute Pair of All-Purpose Scissors]. A pair of scissors wreathed in flames appeared, and in an instant, the female ghost's hair caught fire.
When a bizarre clock appeared in a house, he activated [The Fairy's Magic Wand]. A wand appeared in his hand, and the next second, the clock turned into a singing bird.
When Gu Jiong encountered a high-level humanoid urban legend, everyone was trapped inside it. Only he held [The Crystal Coffin for Sealing], and the next second, the urban legend was sealed inside.
When he encountered an urban legend that dragged everyone into a dream, he took out [The Magical Hat]. Once the clock struck twelve, all the dreams vanished, and everyone woke up.
When he encountered a corpse that had inexplicably opened its eyes, he calmly closed them for it while activating the skill [The Poisoned Apple from a Fairy Tale].
Gu Jiong: "Eat up. Then you can be on your way."
Urban legend: "..."
These skills were all very useful. The only downside was that Gu Jiong was forced into mortifying situations.
Everyone else summoned gods and spirits. He got nothing but magic wands and gingerbread houses, all bright colors and childish whimsy.
He would never forget the strange looks people gave him whenever he summoned those things.
Some people: "Haha, um, Mr. Gu is quite childlike."
Gu Jiong: "..." This ability really was better off gone.
After he had crushed another urban legend, a lazy, dangerous voice sounded in his mind: "Darling, you're holding that wand wrong. Your left hand is a little too low."
Gu Jiong coolly wiped the blood from his face. "Shut up."
The voice let out a strange laugh, gloating. "Come on, darling, don't be shy."

Upcoming: "So You Had a Crush on Me Too (Showbiz)"
Shi Mu was an untouchable flower in the entertainment industry. He was handsome, a good actor, and even-tempered.
When he was twenty-four, his family arranged a blind date for him. He opened the door and saw the person he'd had a crush on for years: Xie Ji.
Xie Ji was twenty-six, unquestionably a veteran actor and a master of his craft. He had won every award there was.
At that moment, Xie Ji himself was smiling brightly at him, his peach-blossom eyes curved. "Hello."
Shi Mu: "What a coincidence. You're here for a blind date too?"
Xie Ji smiled with a hint of meaning. "Yes, what a coincidence."
While Shi Mu was still trying to think of something to say, the man across from him announced, "We'll get married in two weeks. I've already arranged the wedding venue, and we can pick out rings later. Our parents can meet tomorrow."
After saying all that in one breath, Xie Ji gazed at Shi Mu with his beautiful eyes. "What do you think?"
Shi Mu hadn't processed it yet. What? How did this turn into a wedding? Wasn't this moving a little too fast?
Xie Ji continued naturally, "Don't worry. I had someone pick an auspicious date for our wedding. It's an absolutely lucky day."
All Shi Mu could manage was, "Huh?" But they had no romantic history, and Xie Ji also...
At last, Xie Ji smiled at him elegantly. "Will you say yes?"
Shi Mu immediately forgot what he'd been thinking.
Say yes? Of course he'd say yes. He had no idea why Xie Ji wanted to marry him, but wasn't this a godsend? He'd have the home-field advantage and get to the moon first.
So Shi Mu obediently nodded. "Okay."
Xie Ji: "Since you said yes, let's go register our marriage later."
Shi Mu: Hm? Something felt a little strange. If this man weren't Xie Ji, he'd think the guy was desperate to marry him, afraid he'd run away.
After they married, the couple went on a dating reality show and were assigned to the same team.
According to the script, they were supposed to act like strangers at first, treating each other with icy politeness. Only after a series of setbacks would they thaw toward each other.
But on the very first day, Shi Mu was reading the script on the sofa while Xie Ji brought him a plate of fruit and fed him.
Shi Mu instinctively took a bite. Then he remembered the script and immediately turned cold. "Mm, it doesn't taste good."
Xie Ji smiled and offered him a piece of watermelon. "Then try the watermelon."
Shi Mu's expression grew even colder. He coolly bit into the watermelon and said, "It doesn't taste good."
In the end, Shi Mu read the script while Xie Ji fed him fruit.
Viewers in the livestream: [Huh? Weren't these two acting all cold and distant before?]
[I'll finish this bowl of dog food. The rest of you help yourselves.]
[Shi Mu: Mm, it doesn't taste good. Next second: Hey, I ate it all.]
[Is this... some new way of showing affection?]
The production crew arranged a game: Draw and Guess.
Shi Mu said to Xie Ji, "Let's try not to score zero. After all, we're not close."
Xie Ji handed him some water and smiled. "Sure."
In the first round, Shi Mu acted things out and Xie Ji guessed. They got all ten right.
In the second round, Xie Ji acted things out and Shi Mu guessed. They got all ten right.
[That's some chemistry. Just admit it, you've been together for years.]
[Those two are definitely a couple, right?]
[Redefining what it means to not be close.]
[They lured us in and killed us with sweetness. I hate couples.]
[Those two are definitely a couple. Ha. I've been married to my husband for five years and I don't even know when he won his first award in college.]
After the show ended, Shi Mu and Xie Ji announced their relationship. Shi Mu had thought the announcement would be met with disbelief and a flood of insults.
Instead, everyone said, [We know, we know. Weren't you already together?]
[Wait, you're announcing it twice? Didn't you already make it official on the show?]
[Run, here comes another helping of dog food.]
[When it comes to showing off your love, you two take the cake.]
At last, after learning that Xie Ji had also been secretly in love with him for years, Shi Mu asked with a complicated expression, "Then, when we first met..."
Xie Ji feigned reluctance. "I was just testing the waters. Who knew you'd say yes so quickly?"
Shi Mu threw himself into Xie Ji's arms. "Don't get cocky just because you got lucky."
Xie Ji held him back. "Mm, it's because I love my darling too much. I just couldn't wait to marry you."
