Majority of them were just rumors vs coming from insider accounts

I’m personally okay with the changes. In the book the public’s perception and who Fl really opens the way for changes of it being two different person. The book was boring and the ML for majority of the book wronged her at every turn and made the ML so unlikable.

Boring. Did not like the ML at all. After marriage the first 100 chapters is of ML misunderstanding the FL at every turn wronged her unfairly because of his prejudice. She finally divorces him and it’s when he find out he really likes her 🙄 (other subplots thrown in as well) and a bunch more chapters of him trying to win her back… and he does win her back. The rest of the chapters maybe 60 where she follows him on military campaign, she becomes pregnant and having daughter. He goes missing and presumed dead. He comes back three years to see her meeting suitors. The changes in the adaptation seems to give it more life and intrigue so hopefully more engaging.

Looking at the synopsis for the adaptation they changed everything from the novel. At least from the synopsis they kept his disdain for her and her marrying him for good luck to wake up

This looks to be the synopsis for the adaptation.

The synopsis for the novel:
“Wei Rao, the beauty without a good reputation from the Cheng'an Marquisate, proposed three conditions before marrying Lu Zhuo for good luck:
A dowry of one hundred thousand taels;
If Lu Zhuo dies, Wei Rao will take nothing;
If Lu Zhuo lives, they cannot divorce or repudiate each other within five years.
Upon waking up, Lu Zhuo learns of this and laughs it off.
Wei Rao's behavior is frivolous, with a seductive and dangerous appearance, making her unsuitable as a virtuous wife.
Bound by the agreement, he won't repudiate her, but Wei Rao can forget about receiving any favor from him.
Later, Lu Zhuo is injured on the battlefield and trapped in a foreign country. When he returns to the capital, he discovers that everyone believes he is dead. His longed-for wife, whom he misses day and night, has surprisingly returned to her parents' home with their daughter, and it is said that she is planning to find a new father for their daughter.”

Seeing the emotional final scene and wanting txw in more dramatic role BUT seeing the bts of it and it taking her awhile to get out of the emotion with the staff consoling her. It’d beep too draining for her if she ever did a heavy dramatic role

What I love about txw is when she’s playing a cute and adorable character she’s acting cute and adorable without being cutesy… if that makes sense. I’ve seen ppl say the cute and adorable roles don’t fit her and I’m thinking they want that cutesy over the top baby voice. Memory loss Wu Zhen is adorable and txw is a natural

It isn’t available on Disney+? I know Disney+ was supposed to be its global distributor.

What country are you in?

She does well in matching the voice to a character. As Wu Zhen a haughty noble woman she had a deeper languish voice. As this temporary childlike Wu Zhen she has a brighter, energetic, and higher voice.

It does look like she turned into a child… not physically like in the novel but mentally for the series.

The preview of her losing her memory…. I wouldn’t consider it amnesia. It looks like the series interpretation of Wu Zhen regressing to a child. In the book it was bc of Zhuyu giving her a concoction vs how she regressed in the series. We got the figurine swapping bc it was Zhuyu bday gift from Duke Wu vs in the novel it was a wedding gift from the evil cousin.

The whole scene when Wu Zhen goes to propose divorce🥺 txw 👏🏼👏🏼 the progression of her talking to seeing her eyes get red, sparking with tears, and the tears on her cheeks and you can see the restraint. Also reminds me Reuter video of the forced kiss lol her wiping her face of her tears and him wiping his mouth area of her tears 😂

The bts clip of him holding her chin, her holding her laugh and him saying “let’s do it”. From the Moonlit Reunion bts she gets shy and is a laughing/giggling mess when it comes to intimate/close together scenes

It’s definitely toned down at least one scene he forces kiss on her without consent and she punches him but in series he just kisses her forehea. Someone said the ML character is a lot softer than the cold cut novel version.

Wu Zhen 🥺 when she watch on her husband interacting with the kids and realizing she wants all that and regretting. Snake lord right by her side being her advocate

Yup. The novel was boring. I took a break from reading it and picked it up again to finish before the series came out. I’m more a fan of dramas rather than actors so I don’t care about one actor getting more screen time than another. The characters are well flushed out and new additions were utilized well.

Absolutely love how flushed out Mei Si, Lady Liu, and the whole relationship. The characters and relationship are so much better in the series than the novel.

It’s the one thing where their slow burn romance help them get to that point 👏🏼
