I enjoy the drama overall, but they sometimes want to get the plot to a certain point and fail to make it flow…
The princes didn’t do much protection military-wise, they had peaceful times for 20 years in terms of actual assaults. The issues she faced were of the political kind, so she knows very little about defence. I do agree that the tunnel idea was rubbish.
What Master Liu did in the novel was implement a very powerful formation to keep the enemy from assaulting another entrance into the city. Ultimately paying for it with his life.
The classmate dynamics are insanely good in the novel, the drama didn’t portray even a tiny bit of the interesting relationships and history between XJ & co
To all the novel readers how would you rate 1) the novel, 2) the adaptation, on a scale from 1 to 10?
Novel 9.5/10 - only because Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage deserves the true 10/10 or more like 100/10
Drama as an adaptation - 7.5, and that’s mostly because of the actors and their chemistry. Too much of the characters’ depth, dynamics, and brilliance of the plot is missing
Cheng Lei seriously impressed me. I was already acquainted with Zhou Ye from many other projects I really liked, but CL is certainly a massive revelation.

Let’s collectively pray for good casting/actung, directing, writing, editing, special effects, and costumes! That’s my favourite c-novel of all, I faithfully re-read every year 🙏🙏
NO!!! They completely botched the Jinling - Cloud Pavilion arc. What Chonghuai? The story behind 11 youths saving the beauty and her beau, then XJ saving HY (disguised as HRF) - gone! The awesome dynamics between XJ and his schoolmates of present vs past, it’s all lost! 😭😭
