You might want to see my reply down to Illumi Senri for it might answer your question. The rebirth/reincarnation concept in 2ha is a bit intricate so let's just hope they can pull something close to the original material.

Precisely, in a "literal" sense of what we know as rebirth and reborn is... either CWN and MRN were not reborn. But in 2ha they seem to have their own standard of rebirth as per the forbidden rebirth technique. I remember there was a line from Chu Wanning in Chapter 280, in which he states that 'People who had already been reborn once couldn't be saved again by the Rebirth Technique.' He already gains his entire memories of Chu Fei at that time and knows that there is a parallel universe but he still believed Mo Ran was reborn.
Since it is not the ordinary rebirth/reincarnation let's indeed hope they can run around the concept and stay true to the novel. At this point... we really have no idea how they gonna pull anything in place.

I couldn't speak for the drama itself. I can dare say everyone in this comment section has no idea how the production team weave the script and plot. But let me just remind you that China has a ban for rebirth/reincarnation not only LGBT content... so there is a 100 percent chance they gonna make the plot without rebirth. Which a big plot problem as the story revolves around death and rebirth. Both main characters died multiple times and rebirth technique plays a big part on the first deaths. We shall see how they gonna play this up.
As per when Mo Ran started to become evil... I would say at the first chapter itself? He was already portrayed as a tyranical ruler at the very beginning. That's why this novel was greatly know for his character development that will wreck you first then also fix you at the end.
I have high hopes for the drama... for Erha deserves a perfect adaptation but I wouldn't advice you to be like me. Don't expect much. This novel is one heck of hard piece to adapt and censorship plays the major part.
If you have time read the novel. I've seen someone posted in twitter about an insider who have watch part of HYX and said a major plot arc will happen faster than expected and those who have't read the book might be confuse. Trust me the 300 chapters will fly faster than you blink.
I read somewhere that there is a lot of physical torture and rape in the novel and I found that extremely disturbing.…
Unfortunately, yes there are a lot of despicable things that happened in the novel. The tags and the warning on the translation were there for a reason. This one is not for the faint heart. But trust me. I've been there and I almost stop reading for that very same reason. But if you can toughen yourself and push through... believe me... every single discomfort is worth it.
Just always remember... nothing is what it seems. Absolutely nothing. When you start reading the book... every prejudice you feel will be a different one once you learn the entire thing.
Almost every agonizing and hateful things Mo Ran did were actually not his fault. During the times he did those tortures and rape, every single aspect of goodness in him was already eaten up by something I will not mention (you have to know it by yourself as it is a major spoiler). He was nothing but a killing machine puppet at that time and the only thing left was his stubborn love for Chu Wanning. And because he was gaslighted to the very extreme he thought that stubborn feeling in him was hate not knowing that was love all along.
And don't worry, the author never patronizes and show to her audience that those bad things were acceptable. They were there to teach the character lessons and also us audience too. Even though they were not Mo Ran's fault... he still repented like no other. The Tianyin Pavilion arc might wreck you... but that's where you will know that this will turn out to be the best redemption arc portrayed in a novel.
The wait for this series and trailer release is making me really agitated. Erha might be the most emotionally consuming novel I have ever read (coming from someone who has hundreds of books under her belt). Knowing the plot will nowhere be exactly as it is in the novel due to LGBT and rebirth ban... I'm still looking forward to how they can pull this off.
My heart though has a lot of worries. The Untamed and even WOH managed to get away with a lot of things and stay true to its source material for the reason that the romance is something that is more an accessory to the plot than it is extremely necessary. However, Erha was known for RanWan's extraordinary painful love story. Chu Wanning and Mo Ran undying, stubborn and sacrificing love for each other is what makes Erha... Erha. The adventure and conspiracy plot twists were indeed one of a kind too and Meatbun's world-building is definitely outstanding which I'm pretty sure will be the main highlight of the drama... but I'm not quite sure if it's enough to give justice to the iconic love story that will be taken away.
A lot of things that made me burst into a feat of tears over and over are mostly co-related to RanWan's longings, hidden feelings, and past regrets. (sigh). Not to mention the bane of every Erha reader's existence: Chapter 279... what a heartwrenching one to see on the big screen.
I know that it has to be what it has to be to pass the censorship. I just can't help but to share my fears/hopes for this drama. (sigh) The casting was so perfect... I don't have any complaints. If only RanWan's love will able to be part of the live-action... it would have been completely perfect. (just a wishful thinking).
The concept of rebirth in 2ha universe seems to be interlinked with the concept of souls. The intricate exchange and passing of souls seem to be the basis of all. I'll link the soul concept file here if ever you haven't yet seen it or just wanted to revisit:
