1. 1 天 The Fundamental Principles of Genius 天才基本法 Chang Er长洱Romance760k WordsCompleted Everyone thought Lin Zhaoxi was a genius. Only she knew that she was using years of experience in math competitions to go back and “cheat.” Until one day, the boy she admired looked at her in silence. Times overlap, and the past is revisited three times. The past can change you. 1. A story about returning to three periods in the past to find yourself. Take it easy: it’s a journey where you go wherever the road takes you. 2. The schools and competition system are fictionalized. 3. Anti-pirac 522.2kFavorites731kClicks/ch778.2kGifts

   Whether in terms of writing style, story conception, or character development, this is a highly enjoyable novel. In my opinion, it is Chang Er's masterpiece, excellent in every aspect. I particularly like the line, "Consistent effort, a life without slackening."

   The word "ambiguity" has been perfectly interpreted by Da Feng, conveying a subtle regret and an affection as delicate as the fragrance of peach blossoms. It is concise and powerful, leaving people with endless imagination...

   Updates are very slow. It would be even better if I could live to see Zhang Ping become Prime Minister and sit at the entrance of the Dali Temple, weeping bitterly.

   The unpredictable emotional trajectory is a hallmark of this story; I reread it from time to time. I'm a staunch supporter of Liu, and little Liu is truly lovable (I'm not a die-hard fan; the author just writes well). And then there's Zhang Ping, who appears occasionally—she's so adorable!

   It has a very authentic Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) feel, and Da Feng's writing style is both humorous and delicate. The plot twists and conflicts are also very natural, and it's short and concise.

Xing Conglian asked, “What are variables?” Lin Chen thought at the time: A variable is that I thought you were just an o 802.2kFavorites610.5kClicks/ch727.5kGifts
