   Popular "Xi Huazhi" As the heroine of the soul-traveling novel, Huazhi does not look as strange as other time-traveling novels. At first, I just thought it was an ordinary ancient text, but after a closer look, the author is very careful and gives modern wisdom in a way that is in line with the ancient times. He does not exaggerate to change the current environment to adapt to his own ideas, but uses a kind of rational excellence to make himself strong enough to support the Hua family. The friendship and love gained are all reasonable, which makes me very happy as a reader. The writing is also very ancient, the details are in place, the characters are all vivid, and I like it very much.
