    This book has the most correct views among all the time travel and historical texts I have seen in Tomato. The plot is logical, the protagonist is not cheating, and the supporting characters are not brainless. The author is not a supervisor, and updates three times a day. Reading this book, you can see the history of the Ming Dynasty, the growth of the protagonist, and the cruelty of war.
