Cannot guarantee 100%. However, the script was leaked before the broadcast and season 1 changes were proven to be legit. I'd say 95% certain.
From the development in season 1, I could tell they don't want yaoliu other than for marketing. Season 1 yaoliu should actually get a lot of sugar, but the way the director shot it was very grim and Xiangliu was very bitter. The only reason why this cp works so far is because YZ and TJC got a lot of chemistry, but the script and direction were botched. In fact, I think TJC realized this and tried to bargain with the director.

Based on the leaked script, they deleted some of the most crucial parts of the novel. This leak is very accurate, btw, as it contains the hated part in which XL disguised himself as a woman and collected XY tears after she left the seashell. Here are some of the most unacceptable deletation:
1. The ice crystal ball. 2. Saving Jing. Which means, he no longer fulfilled the 3 things XY didn't have (self-protection, someone to rely, a place to go).
These are the most crucial deletation. We haven't even talked about other highlights such as saving XY from sea tornado or "who do you want to spend your life with".
What disgusts me is how they tried to stay true to the novel as much as possible in the first 15 eps, scamming the novel fans to win word of mouth. The marketing outside the show also sells the yaoliu cp as if they legit kept this pairing like in the novel. However, inside the drama, all yaoliu scenes that show she loved him have been deleted.
this review is really weird, there was basically no stepmother at all in the whole drama. and the mate from species…
Many book fans called Tong Hua "stepmother" nowadays.
Yup, it's not in the drama because 95% the step-mother had f-cked this up by deleting it in exchange for the inferior pearl made of tears and sh*t. Imagine deleting the most compelling part of the story...
Previously, everyone called Tong Hua "mother". However, after leaks that have proven to be more and more legit, book Xiang Liu fans start to call her "step-mother" because she treated this character like sh*t.
Actually, I just put thing in a modern context, because there was a popular post on weibo describing Xiang Liu in modern setting as a "poor, deliquent teenager who was raised by a gambling addict uncle with tons of debt". The point is he was not someone our parents could accept as their son-in-law.

There's the "if LYF was a cheap modern drama" in weibo. It's basically like that...
Xiang Liu: poor, deliquent teenager who was raised by a gambling addict uncle with tons of debt. Was often starving and forced Xiao Yao to bring him lunch. He also suffered terminal illness.
Jing: Rich second generation who got bullied in school and saved by Xiao Yao.
My goodness... Xiang Liu is already too pitiful... He had no money, no status, was terminally ill, and now Tong Hua changed his love into an unrequited one???
This drama just eliminated the main love conflict in the novel. After all, if the girl fell in love with the rich guy, there's no conflict caused by the poor guy. He's just there to be a tool person who saved everyone from a car accident.
wow...thank you..so many have have gone mad with this show, I'm happy that you throw a bucket of cold water here.....more…
I didn't know many people are mad, tbh. I know the people in the book snake's weibo supertopic are angry. However, I don't see many angry international fans as I don't join the fan-circle. After all, there aren't many book fans.
Changing the primary cp like this is simply asking for backslash, especially when yaoliu initially had 70% of the market. Imo, Xiangliu should be the ML and cut a huge part of season 2. This way, there's no need to drag it to 70 eps. This would solve her billing dilemma.
Tong Hua is not Fei Wo Si Cun. She can't write political struggle to make Xuan stood out. Naturally, he's a bad choice for ML. Now, this character couldn't bring much bonus to the actor, Zhang Wanyi's competitors started saying he's the weakest ML in c-drama while in fact he just got a bad deal...
Excuse yourself and please just delete your review. You don't deserve to be here. Are you dropping this script…
lol. Who the f-ck do you think you are, telling people what to do? 70% of book fans are snake fans and the step-mother just decided to slap them in the face after using him to market to book fans. If she really wanted to allow this drama to be used as a vehicle for certain newcomers instead of staying true to the original, she should rename the title and character names to reduce the backslash. However, the team keep feeding yaoliu cp fans sugar outside the show to promote while removing all the sugar in the show. This is obviously a scam marketing.
Scarlet Heart is a masterpiece based on the step-mother's novel. Comparison to it shouldn't be surprising. Both novels have a rational FL. In fact, the 3 MLs of LYF can be said to be the 4th prince divided into 3 persons: the powerful emperor, the passionate lover, and the husband who could provide security.
Wish the leads would build their feelings and experience on their own through more interesting and personal plot.…
Unfortunately, I don't think TTJ was capable of such things. He's like a cold blooded animal. It's not just his software that was broken, it was his hardware. He always needed to be someone else to function normally.

The previous one I watched, the FL set the ML to be raped by the 2nd FL.
