Darkness... Nothing but darkness.

Rinley tried to recollect everything in his mind. In his previous life, he was born with so much bad luck. His master found him abandoned in a run-down temple-- his meridians severed and his body so weak. His physic was not suitable for cultivation.

The only fortunate thing is that his crazy master was well-versed in alchemy giving him a chance to have long life. With a mortal body he was able to live for more than five centuries. Thinking of a certain old man he has mixed feelings.

However, just as he thought he was able to change his fate, he was betrayed by his lover. Hundreds of years of affection was nothing in front of a miracle medicine that can change one's physic and boost cultivation talent. Just like that, his poor life was gone. If not for his master's given treasure which was able to preserve his soul at that time, that white lotus girl could have shattered his soul.

The scenery suddenly changed, Rinley's mind replay was interrupted. Lushes of greenery, a clear lake and a thatched cottage entered his view. A handsome man was sitting on the edge of the lake with a fishing rod in hand.

"O--old man?" Rinley exclaimed. The man heard the voice and looked at him, a shocked expression flashed on his face.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

The man suddenly broke into a sunny smile, one that could make naive girls squeal. He is nothing but an old man who always pretend to be young, Rinley said to himself. The man threw the fishing rod and ran to his side in lightning speed, enveloping him in a big bear hug. Rinley felt suffocated!

"My Rinrin is getting cuter," the man said in an excited voice.

Rinley gave a bite to the man's waist. Yes waist... Rinley realized his head is only up to the man's waist. This is a signal to the man as he broke the hug.

"What are you doing here?!" Rinley asked.

"Of course its because I planted a wisp of my consciousness into your soul, so I can talk to you once you remember your memories of your previous lifetime. I made it so that you can remember your memories once you are a step away from the immortal stage. Aren't I a great master?" the man said patting Rinley's head. He looked down to Rinley as if waiting waiting for his praise.

But wait, isn't it better to have my memories with me the day I was born?

"Rinley's female self is so cute!" the man added.

Rinley suddenly felt like his mind was frozen. What... what did the old man say?

"You haven't realized it?" as if reading his mind, the man transported the both of them to the area near the lake giving him a full view of himself.

Pale complexion, long silver hair that goes down to his waist, big, light-blue eyes, small nose and cherry lips on a small face. And most of all, he was currently wearing a pink dress.

Wasn't that because you interrupted my mind replay?

Wait... that's not the issues here. Can anyone tell him why his manly self became a cute little girl?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻]

Rinley vaguely heard something cracking.
