   Calligraphy enthusiasts beware: This ancient-to-modern male lead is so reminiscent of Wang Xizhi! Three reasons to recommend: ✨ 1. Who understands! The ancient-style male god being shocked by modern life is hilarious! When the male lead first arrives in the modern world, cars, elevators, televisions… everything seems to be refreshing his worldview. The scene where he buys pajamas was absolutely hilarious. The female lead takes him to buy pajamas, and the two of them are already incredibly awkward, but the shopkeeper is exceptionally enthusiastic. He's socially awkward while trying to maintain his politeness and composure. This feeling of the aloof ancient-style male god almost breaking down due to modern life is so vivid. 💗 2. Not artificially sweet! It's the kind of sweetness that's genuinely appreciated. The female lead was previously manipulated by her ex, so she's insecure, sensitive, and subconsciously doubts her own worth. You can feel the author's deep concern for this group. But the male lead's gaze towards her is never critical or judgmental. 🖋 3. The male protagonist's establishment in the modern world is very well-developed, without any cheat codes or systems. From his initial confusion and fear to his ability to establish himself in the modern world through his calligraphy skills, every step is reasonable and convincing. The details of the conflict between ancient and modern values are particularly well-written. His resistance and struggle when trying to understand "equality for all" made me feel that this character is truly growing. As for who he is... I won't spoil it, sisters, go watch it for yourselves! If you like time-travel stories, gentle and restrained male protagonists, heartwarming and sweet romance, or if you personally like calligraphy and the Wei-Jin era atmosphere, you should really enjoy this setting.
