She’s not barefoot in the drama. The visuals of her small feet walking on the frozen ground are so heartbreaking... it’s hard to explain.

Yeah, I wish they stuck to the manhua plot, it all makes much more sense in there. His character transformation is the most amazing among all tbh, from an apparently cruel person to somebody ready to do anything for his people and for her. Truly a pity

No, in the manhua, they fall in love quite slowly and they “confess” in a rather non-orthodox way. Only in chapter 59, did Ashina openly discuss his wish to marry her. I’m also a bit surprised by the pace of the drama.

CG got really ill due to constant exhaustion and cold while working to best the Ashina clan. When she walked barefoot through the snow for the surrender of Shou Province, the cold seeped deep into her body and she was ill for a long time. It’s a huge part of the manhua plot. I guess the drama creators want to avoid it. Her illness was the one thing Ashina openly admitted to regretting. I felt it was a very important point in his character growth. Since then he started treating her as if she were made of jade, very sweet.

In the manhua, they confronted each other on the battlefield before they knew each other. Afterwards, them being enemies was something they tried to avoid at all costs. He could’ve never tried to hurt her, and when he almost got hurt due to her schemes, she cried so much, apologising to him over and over.

I feel like the plot the drama follows doesn’t depict their desperation to not hurt each other as well as the manhua.

In my opinion, the visuals of Chang Ge walking barefoot through the snow towards Ashina was much more striking, wish they had included that in the drama.

I cried for Governor Gong Sun when reading the manhua, cried for him now watching the drama. Such an upstanding leader, ready to sacrifice his own life for the good of his people. Unfortunately, there aren’t many people like him, especially nowadays. My heart...

Honestly no idea, he’s got quite a bit of input in future events, so I’m confused myself

In the manhua, Ashina gets seriously injured, arrow to the chest and all, but he survives and then even tries to rescue Chang Ge, he’ll be fine. He’s a smart guy, got himself out of many tricky situations

Nope, he’s very much alive in the manhua

Ashina Sun even has a topless scene bathing himself in a river in the manhua, along with quite a few other scenes. They had to incorporate at least some of it in the plot, haha.

The drama creators did add loads of extra scenes that don’t exist in the manhua. The manhua is quite fast paced, but it does slow down a bit when they’re in the grasslands.

Personally, I’ve read it in many places, but this is the website I used to re-read the manhua just yesterday https://chap.manganelo.com/manga-ho89160/chapter-0

The manhua is really good, I hope you’re enjoying it! Ashina’s appearance is really sexy there haha

You’re welcome :)

Agreed, Reba portrayed the FL in ELOD to a T. I read the book and watched the drama at the same time and I was really impressed with how true to the written character she was.

Yep, and WeiZheng didn’t have any sons that we know of in the manhua, so he’s also a new character. Hao Dou wasn’t introduced as Du Ruhui’s foster son either, he was just a very loyal follower.

I hope they rectify it, and hope he’ll banter with Li ChunFeng as well hehe

Le Yan doesn’t exist in the original manhua, so it’s hard to say tbh.

I feel like they did Du Ruhui dirty by portraying him as a worse guy than he actually was. Wei Zheng, Chang Ge’s beloved teacher, is much smarter too hehe

I usually write manhua, but my auto-correct must’ve made the change and I didn’t notice haha
