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

I ran until I could hear no more people, and only then did I allow myself to really cry for him. 


“It’s not fair! It’s not fair! I want to die too!” I raged. “I hate this! Why couldn’t I go with him? Why couldn’t I just die with him?” 


The pain was staggering and my knees buckled, making me land hard on the floor where I continued cursing fate, life, and everything and everyone else I wanted to blame for the pain that was wracking my insides. 


“What will I do without you darling? What will I ever do?” I sniffled, making a fist, and hitting the stone floor under me. 


Suddenly, amidst the chaos inside me and the mind-numbing grief, a small spot of warmth touched my back before spreading around my shoulders. A hand tugged me from my prone position, then pulled me against a hard yet warm chest.
