I feel the drama is very interesting and there will be conflict, love, palace plots etc. And if it has an unhappy ending (which I don't want), but the drama will still be interesting and beautiful. PS: But I want the happy ending of the novel!!! Oh, please, directors.
Yes, the novel is short, but there are many elements that can be developed into a great drama. And we can understand why Murong Jing is ranked 1 in the drama.
