One of the reasons why I like to read the source materials, be it before or after watching the drama. These kinds of details often got lost during the adaptation process. Drama just has more restraints compared to other medium.
I believe He Yan saying, "I love the moon, but the moon doesn't know" is a love confession (obviously…
My take is, He Yan was actually referring to the moment they shared at the temple while she was blind. It was the lowest moment of her life, and Xiao Jue's encouragement meant a lot to her. She didn't ask his name, and couldn't see his face either. So, she associated and remembered that person as 'Moon' because they talked about moon that night.
Since you are going to read the novel, I won't spoil further. It went more details into why that moment is so significant in He Yan's life.
In Ep 13 where He Yan bullshitting Cheng Lisu about why she joined the army (some bully attracted to her beauty so she had to flee home), that's actually the real backstory of He Yan in the novel lol, basically the part that got cut in the drama in the first arc.
The earlier episodes were pretty rushed in terms of story progression. Novel has 272 chapters including extra…
Her master is actually one of the most memorable side characters in the novel with an entire side plot dedicated to him. Though, his side plot may or may not make it to the screen given 36 episodes total length of the drama.
Only watched 1 episode. For those that might have read the novel. is most of what was in there made up? It seems…
The earlier episodes were pretty rushed in terms of story progression. Novel has 272 chapters including extra stories, and by episode 5, we covered until around chapter 85-90.
There were some changes compared to the novel, but mostly to fit the censorship requirements. The general plotline remains the same. Also, all the characters we have seen so far in the drama are from the source material, just rearranged here and there. Especially her master, he appears later into the story in the novel with proper introduction and backstory.
Watched first 5 episodes and in my opinion, You just have to suspend disbelief to enjoy this drama because He…
Talking about rushed, we covered 1/3 of the original story in just 5 episodes. lol
For now, I take it as a positive sign for later arcs as we now have more rooms for them. 36 episodes length is such an injustice for this type of story imo.
I heard that to pass the censorship they can't make her masculine, cuz it will be like bl
Drama's He Yan is exactly like the one from the novel, both in terms of physical build and character traits. They are staying true to the source material with this one.
Ill watch this later but can someone spoil me? I knew that she somehow got reincarnated after her downfall. Did…
The drama made some changes to fit the censorship, but the flow of the plot remains the same.
In the novel, FL transmigrated into another body in the same timeline. Not going back in time. Drama eliminated the transmigration part, but the flow of the timeline remains the same from the novel.
Her family really tried to kill her for various reasons.
on point! that novel was also already sold right and i saw some funny comments on douyin that said "don't…
ikr
For Malicious Empress, we can pretty much guess the tone of the story entirely changing since Shen Miao's entire modus operandi is taking advantage of her past life knowledge from beginning to end, and that stuff ain't making to the screen due to censorship.

But, for the drama, we'll have to see. Can't say they won't make changes to this part for the sake of being dramatic.
Yes, she's their biological daughter. Human greed has no bound and they stoop at nothing for their greed.

I almost wish it doesn't get adapted into drama, because we can already see the backlash coming from a thousand li 😂
