A man died during the pandemic in 2020, but as he closed his eyes for the last time, something stirred in his mind. When he opened them, he discovered that he had been reborn in what appeared to be ancient China, yet he retained all his memories from the future. 

Let us follow Shen Mu, as he makes his way in a world he knows nothing about and learns the truth about the world, and his mission as a cultivator.

Can his memories of the future help in a place where magic is real? And what is that other presence in his mind?

Rebirth and Reincarnation

That night, when I came to the hut I had been staying at, I found Ling already waiting for me. She was silent and standoffish, making me think about the shadow I had seen from the bonfire earlier on. 


Apparently, I had been ‘caught’ with another woman… even if she came on to me and wasn’t even human. 


I sighed and stared at Ling, who refused to look me in the eye “You saw us.” I declared. I wasn’t asking. 


Ling tensed but didn’t dare look me in the eye. 


I nodded. “To say that I wasn’t attracted to her would be a lie. But nothing will come off it.” 


“I’m sure my Master will find a way to make it work.” 


Ok… maybe declaring that I had been attracted to her wasn’t a good idea. Let’s try another tactic. 


“She’s not human.” This made Ling stop and look at me like I was crazy.
