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 didn’t part from my father that day, nor the day after, not even for training which I did under his watchful eye. 


All the while, however, my mind kept running through the words that Bao Hu had spoken, zeroed on a single sentence: “She turned from me and I from her, and when I saw the man take the princess, I felt something on the back of my head, and I knew no more.” 


I was certain that the maid had played a role in the plan to kidnap me. I knew not to what extent and had no chance to figure it out on my own. Bao Hu would likely be wary of women from now on, and even if I could ask him, wouldn't remembering hurt him too? 


‘Is your purpose here not more important than a man’s feelings?’ 


‘I know. It’s difficult for me to hurt people intentionally.’ The face of the man that kidnapped me came to the forefront of my mind and I shook my head. 


‘You hurt that man intentionally, and I didn’t see you hesitate at all while doing so.’
