I think it's unlikely for them to make a derivative drama. If they did it would be like a remake with other actors (retelling everything in detail from LZS' point of view). They really like doing remakes, but not using the same actors to tell the same story (despite having a different point of view).
PS:
The most they sometimes do is put in an extra episode as an epilogue. But would they do that for a supporting character? I don't think so. I hope they portray these last 4 episodes with skill and care.

You were supposed to be a detective who unravels the thread I couldn't understand. It was all because of revenge, for the wrong done by the Luo family (Jiang He's brother's disappearance). But with that he brought another range of suffering to people who were not involved. (And that explains Mr Gu's strange look whenever LZS was mentioned). Mr. Gu did not want to hurt his wife by revealing the evil that her brother committed with the woman, mother of LZS. A network of revenge, which only leads to more revenge and suffering. (But as Yo toon explained above, at some point Jiang He didn't want to make life more complicated for LZS's mother and son (didn't want to make it worse) and didn't reveal what happened (because she had already married an admirer, but that it was in the book), in the drama, when she died, it doesn't indicate marriage, she just lived in her father's house, LZS's grandfather. (And that's why the boy was treated so badly, hidden, locked in a room, prevented from mentioning his own name, creating trauma and negative outcomes that came later as an adult.

Someone commented once here that he couldn't watch L&R because he couldn't stand not being Hao Chen (LXY's character) the protagonist and then he left the drama, because they like him more and wanted his storyline in the drama to continue. But I watched and enjoyed the drama, but interestingly, I remember Hao Chen's part more, although I liked Sifeng and Xuanji a lot. But I liked Haochen and Xuanji.

And as for Qing Luo, despite being a small production, I really liked it and was surprised. (Some Chinese fans reveal that Qing Luo is a B-drama, but that the amount of views it had is like an S+. (I think it's because adding to the drama being so catchy, there's the fact that it's currently the only custom drama in which LXY is main male role (It's hunger for something being quenched.).

I understand what you want to explain. And I want this duality of Jiang He's feelings for LZS to be conveyed even in these last few episodes. Still a fatherly feeling, but mixed with the need to take action to stop LZS. Let it be that final sentence of the book (where there is a feeling of regret and a little veiled, a request for forgiveness to the son.
I see it like this, although in that fatal situation, but the words spoken (make this meaning clear.). I do this reading.

I know, most here hate the character he plays in the drama. And I understand why. But I can't bring myself to hate him, and the characterization of the character in the book and along with the drama added to my feelings.

How do you put it, then: The book's Jiang He has complex and contradictory feelings and in a strange way seems to want to protect mother and son, (when LZS was still a child, but without his son knowing). At present, when LZS is an adult, does this protective attitude continue? In the novel? In the drama I don't know (because I can't know how the drama adapted Jiang He's feelings and attitude. I still don't understand clearly.)
I still haven't watched episode 36. (I'll watch it later today.).

Yes, I watched Qing Luo. I started the first episode striving for the actor I like. But I continued in the following episodes and I really enjoyed it. This drama is romantic, heroic, familiar and comic at the same time. Liu Xue Yi's Ye Xiu Du is a bit narcissistic, I love the moment when he brags about his own beauty in front of his biological brother. And his brother is funny too. I loved the family of three. So beautiful. so sweet this drama. I think I'll watch it again.🥰🥰🥰
And he looks great in those period clothes in this drama as well.🥰🥰🥰
PS:
And this drama, (he filmed an extra month without receiving payment so that the drama could be completed), Qing Luo, was his first main lead before "Love at night", his only main male roles ever broadcast as a drama. . There is a small film (I don't know where to watch it) derived from the drama "Autumn cicada", "Autumn cicada", the film. I watched clips.

You fixed the plot of the novel. This detail clarifies everything. (There needs to be consistency.).📝📝📝😶😶😶

When Jiang He was talking to LZS, I was thinking: Can LZS read Jiang He's cunning or is he really trusting him?

Yes, but then Jiang He took off his mask. But LZS's grandfather and Liu YuRu's father are really the same kind of bad parents. And Jiang He follows the same path. (If really Jiang He has knowledge of everything.),
for indeed he abandoned Luo Zi Shang's mother (I just don't know if he knew she was pregnant.). And I'm not sure if he's aware that he's facing his own son. He says she was molested by another man and gave birth to LZS, but does he not know the truth? Ahhh, I want to know this.

Indeed, this comparison is coherent.

Sentence from the book that I would put in Gu Jiu Si's mouth:
There is a compassionate line in the book spoken by Liu Yu Ru about Luo Zi Shang (that she wishes there was a better situation for people so that they would not become an LZS).
PS: I don't know if any of that will happen. But... I wonder.🤔🤔🌷

Yes, there are at least two more couples.
Shen Ming and Ye Yun. Zhou Ye and the girl general. (they appear enough for the audience to like them).

Will there be this moment? Gu Jiu Si vs Luo Zi Shang (Wish there was a conversation like two brothers who want to settle scores with each other.) 🔅🔅

Yes, Liu Xue Yi is talented in this kind of character, and that's why he is chosen for these charming roles, important and strong roles. But... this is too little for Liu Xue Yi, as he has already spent a long time in this kind of supporting role. It's time for us to watch their main roles which are yet to be broadcast and are already filmed. 1-Hua Mei (romance, espionage, Republic of China); 2-What if (romance, modern). 3- In Blossum (romance, detective, costume drama) concludes shooting this month. And the next ones to be filmed: in August: 4-A moment but forever (fantasy, romance) shooting starts in August. Scheduled to be filmed: 5-In the moonlight (fantasy, romance) and 6-Female Police Capitan (novel, detective, with actress Zhaolin Yi).
PS:
Director Yin Tao has already given him this type of important supporting role 4 times (1-Legend of White snake, 2-Love and Redemption, 3-Blood of youth, 4-Destined). And I think this director does this precisely so that others will see the talent that is Liu Xue Yi and give him the main roles (but only now have these people opened their eyes to give Liu Xue Yi due credit). There is still time for us to appreciate his talent as he deserves.🥀🥀🥀

"To confirm, Jiang He is Mrs Gu's brother?"

I forgot to answer your question. Jiang He is Gu Jiu Si's maternal uncle. His mother is Jiang He's sister. (There was a scene at the dinner table where Madam Gu asked Gu Jiu Si to intervene for her brother who was in prison.)

I don't know why some Chinese fans complain so much about the way Luo Zi Shang's character was constructed in the drama (compared to the book). I think it's consistent. (See from their comments below):🤔🤔

I really feel sorry for Luo Zishang (single character). What kind of feeling does Luo Zishang's current role give me, that is, this character skeleton has it, but there is no flesh and blood, and then Liu Xueyi's appearance and acting skills have added a lot of flowers to this skeleton... There are 4 episodes left, let's see if Yin Tao and Bai Jinjin can fill his flesh and blood...

The flesh and blood that have long been ruined by them are blurred[悲伤]
(Moon Two Meters Six): It can also be said that at present, Luo Zishang is very ... The logic of behavior is not particularly clear, and there is even some chaotic feeling, which is a little miserable.

I think his character is intriguing because he became what he is now due to his scarred past. I am going to quote Star Wars and say "I am what you made me".

I had a similar discussion about the difference between heroes and villains, something mentioned in the comic book realm.

Heroes and villains have similar origin story with some tragic past, orphaned and wronged. But the difference is ; heroes grow up preventing others from experiencing what they did while the villains want people to pay for what they have been through. So in this, the characters are actually in line with what a hero and a villain supposed to be.

As for his obsession and love for YuRu that is because he probably relating to the moments where someone expressed some kindness towards him, so he is attached to that memory. Maybe he thinks that if had someone like her, he would not have to be evil, instead live a normal life, which GJS and Yuru had.

Yes, your entire assessment is correct and fits with the famous line in the book that speaks of a piece of fate (what could have been), for him not to become like that. His other name, which is actually his real name (it's what he should have been, the hero he could have been). It's a subtle element between the hero and the bad guy.
“A piece of osmantus cake and an oil paper umbrella kept in memory. If fate hadn't played a trick on us, we'd be together sharing the world's prosperity."

She never got married in a drama ?? Quite the opposite of Liu Xue Yi (the only problem is that Liu Xue Yi's marriages in the dramas have not yet been broadcast.).😶😶😶🖍️🖍️
