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

 We set out to the north border that morning, with Zhi, Heng Li, and the Empress to see us off since the Emperor was apparently indisposed. 


 She approached me and thanked me for helping Li, who had asked her to come and see me for a ‘treatment’. I rolled my eyes at the term, but quickly scanned her, not finding anything wrong. Clearly, the poisoner had very specific targets within the palace. I asked her to take good care of my sister and the Emperor in my absence, to which she simply smiled. 


 On the saddle again, we rode all the way to the Ji river where we took a boat that would lead us to Ji and eventually the Huang-He. Seeing the place where I once embarked with Fa Min and Ling was a bit of a wake-up call for me. So many things had changed in the previous months that not only my friends weren’t with me, but I was marching into war and in a completely different atmosphere.
