Ok, I'm half way through reading the novel. And it's spicy, even violent. The Left Chancelor in the drama is modernized to be more acceptable in modern society. I like it more.

They certainly soften the character and make he look much better. Thank goodness they are sensible.

Novel readers: after watching episode 15 and seeing the trailers for 18 and bed scene on Weibo, do you think this will follow the story and she becomes pregnant? How accurate has the show been compared to the novel so far?

I see that they are following the essential points of the book. So, yes, but at the end.
