well its not totally different. I think the drama adaptation grasp the main storyline with adjustments necessary for tv audience. reading the novel enable readers to better understand the characters. experiencing both drama and novel is like enjoying your favorite story in two different way.
I'm also. Both lead characters are just same as in The Long Ballad. But one thing that is different is that FL…
yeah no. although she acts like a proper wife, sheās just being dutiful. she doesnāt like ml from the start or at this point yet, at least not romantically.
As someone who has read the novel, I kind of wish that box scene came later. That box scene was a significant…
I like your pov as I half shared it. The box scene is also one of my favourite part in the novel- as you mentioned it showed just when they are getting closer, they canāt helped but stay wary of each other. However, in the novel, because theyāve shared bed earlier, so the box part seems fitting for their relationship timeline. meanwhile in the drama, I think the box scene served to imply how our FL is not someone easy to bully and leads to the giving of the armrest.. and him sulking.. and him getting the āflourishing descendantsā pillow.
well thatās just my pov.
the neck grab is pretty traumatising for me too. If it was me, I wouldāve packed my bags and stormed off back to Yanzhou. but thatās just me being a girl born in the 20th century š¤·š»āāļø
Wei Shao advisor is the most wise and can see everything! No wonder he is the advisor! š

Iām also satisfied with the adaptation. but I feel like the drama is moving at a much faster rate. Perhaps they…
according to the novel - not really. He is probably a mixed blood, hence the strength and since heterochromia is not well known at that time, he is considered weird. He learned to tame horses and some fighting skills while working for the Qiao family. Due to his talent, he will later become one of the generals. Hopefully the drama sticks to this story.
For now, it seems like a decent adaptation of the original novel. Similar with good modificationsš
Iām also satisfied with the adaptation. but I feel like the drama is moving at a much faster rate. Perhaps they will focus more on war and that his childhood crush arc. Iām glad Bi Zhiās story is adapted well, his story is one of my favorite in the novel and he is exactly how I pictured him!
