I Become a Monster's Mom in a Horror Urban Legend

Her lover of eight years cheats on her with his old flame, then dismisses her with a single check.

"I'm sorry. I can't forget her."

He Si has cried, begged, and made a scene. The pain of being dumped without warning triggers her heart condition, and the hospital issues several critical condition notices. Even after her ex gets the call, all he says is, "I don't know her. We're not close. Tell her to take care of herself."

Jiang Younian wants to sever all ties and never have He Si interfere with her new life again.

She says, "He Si, you need to understand that a proper ex should be as good as dead. If you can't manage that, then remember this: from today on, I'm dead."

Jiang Younian dies, burying with her all twenty-eight years of He Si's soft heart and kindness, along with her heart itself.

Her congenitally weak heart can no longer bear the strain, and finally gives out.

On the brink of death, He Si hears a voice: "Welcome to Supernatural Horror. Congratulations, you've activated the SSS-rank talent, The Light of the Saint."

He Si is a professor of folklore and a walking encyclopedia. She has maxed out her monster affinity, and the demons and bosses in every instance chase after her, calling her Mom.

She spent eight years playing Jiang Younian's nanny. She's had enough. Now she doesn't care about anyone.

Ever since she entered Supernatural Horror, a second legendary figure who kills gods and demons alike has emerged.

The previous legend appeared eight years ago.

When they meet again, He Si lifts her phoenix eyes and looks down at the woman kneeling at her feet.

She uses her toe to casually lift the grotesque, tusked mask on the woman's face, revealing a ghostly face covered in ashen-blue markings, stiff and lifeless. Her features are still faintly recognizable as those of the once elegant beauty.

He Si arches a brow and gives a faint, mocking smile. "Back from the dead, are you? Hmm?"

The year after their breakup, He Si finds her scumbag ex, trapped in an instance as a zombie NPC after failing to clear the horror world.

He Si: "This is my new pet. Pretty, great in bed, and obedient. Come on, say hello."

Zombie Jiang Younian: "A-ba, a-ba!"

Everyone: That zombie looks like the long-missing number-one player.

Everyone: S-Rank, the top fighter on the leaderboard, has actually been taken as a pet by this new player?

Everyone: Sister Si is incredible! Sister Si, take me with you!

System: I suddenly can't contact the main god. This is a little worrying...

Monsters and ghosts: Mommy has a new pet and doesn't love us anymore. Sob, sob...

Boss: We have to work harder to scare players and eat them, then maybe Mommy will notice us. Sob sob (╥╯^╰╥)!

Cold queen bottom × amnesiac ex, a humanoid weapon with overwhelming combat power, as the top

Whenever the rules descend, folklore covered by those rules is swallowed up. China has five thousand years of history and countless cultural treasures. In places unknown to the world, a group of chosen ones risk their lives to preserve cultural heritage. If legends are forgotten, dialects disappear, or customs are abandoned, don't forget that a group of righteous and courageous people once sacrificed themselves for them. You and I must also fight for this cause. From He Si's notes in The Supernatural Tale Survival Manual

Theme: Protect and pass down folk culture.
