How to underline CJK with soul?

I was using soul to underline text.
It works until I tried to underline some CJK text.

When I have

def mytest {测试test very long text blah blah blah ...}

ulmytest

in the document, it complains:
Package soul Error: Reconstruction failed.

I also tried CJKunderline. But it does not auto-wrap for this long text.

There is ctan.org/pkg/soulutf8, which might help (I didn't test). Do you use pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX? But as always: Underlining is hard in TeX and soul as well as ulem have restrictions in what their underlining macros can accept as input. It may well be that neither can accept CJK characters without exploding. You already know about Paul Isambert's LuaLaTeX underlining code that should work here (again I didn't test), but of course requires LuaLaTeX (tex.stackexchange.com/q/435962/35864).

I tried soulutf8, with XeLaTeX. And It does not help. But thank you for your suggestion.

usepackage{soul}

I checked the document of xeCJK. It uses fontspec inside. I doubt soul is not compatible with xeCJK.
