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

Beautiful women surrounded Bao Hu. They were all scantily clad in vaporous, nearly see-through dresses. Their hair was green and made of weeds, and their eyes were pure gold with black irises.

“B-” I was about to open my mouth to call my servant when Selene’s voice came over me. ‘Wait!’ 


‘Let me speak. You’ll scare them.’ I frowned. Of course, I would scare them. They were tormenting my guard, who appeared to be fighting to not open his eyes while muttering to himself. But then again, he didn’t seem to be in any danger, so maybe I should do as Selene asked since she appeared to have a plan. Instead of answering, I eased the control I had over my body and Selene flowed. 


“Ladies,” I found myself saying, and many of the women turned to me with frowns.
