we are suspecting the LMD scandal impacted the pacing of the original built-up. Do give it a try at least till after the banquet. if trailers are to be a guide, they are dedicating 5 episodes just for the built up for jiang city arc - so it is not breakneck speed like the initial 10-11 episodes. Episode 12 is also popular for its combat.

they do show the scars on her body (new and old) after the fight with ding li.

he was a trusted lieutenant in the novel too. his family was held hostage by PM Xu to force him to betray general xiao. like drama, he was supposed to have died in the battle of mingshu

after battle of jiang city, mu hongjin's people manage to keep him alive enough for him to talk to XJ on the true nature of the battle of mingshu

well he did draw a sword on CZ during HY's final male disguise meetup

if they adapt the novel religiously. another kick ass whip sequence will happen in jiyang.

oh and she also uses the sword when killing ding yi but no one saw it then unlike the drama.

i am actually suspecting they are going to drop the "swordplay reveals her identity" aspect from the drama as they are introducing many plotholes in regards to it.

he felt her squeezing his sleeve and realized he may have gone too far and am not willing to stoke the fire. i believe even now he is still in a mindset of teasing her and have not come to terms with his own feelings

could be a drama change. if i recall correctly chan an xi's family was held hostage. after mingshu they got a kill order but chan an xi escaped but was either injured or sick.

some one mentioned that female pulses are quicker

it was explained in ep1 that the both blinding poison and the stab wound had weaken her alot and she needs time to recover her physical strength

then the extra story about Yan He....

forgot to add - novel had 3 fights - 2 commanders and the final general. it is more brutal as HY was already injured by the time she fought the general

not yet. in the novel it will happen after the 3rd mission at rundu city. drama is only at mission 2

in the novel - XJ was multi faceted as he was sent away when young to be trained by 5 masters (only 2 were ever talked about in the novel), only returning to home once a year until the father's death at the battle of mingshu.

think i read somewhere that the 5 masters are basically either from a different story of the author or some famous ensemble from a different writer

cause STT decided if she can't have HY, being in laws to HY and married to a person that look like HY is acceptable :)

they adapted that from the novel. In the novel in order to hide her swordplay she predominantly wields the whip as her primary weapon after the patrol + wolf attack sequence as she lost the dual short swords there. no hanging the sword on the rack scene unlike the drama. she only ever uses the sword once in rundu then on her reveal.

as that interaction was moved up. i am hoping their background gets covered during the jiyang arc when LB is reintroduced

He is an instructor - all of the men there were 6 month recruits. Only the few instructors had combat experience. Facing against an experienced enemy it was going to be a massacre. If i recall correctly they were either captured or poisoned, and they were being forced to fight in the arena before HY turns up

enjoy the story - it will happen this week so no point spoiling the story specifics

yeah chinese censors.

by ep15 you likely have to believe a person sees HY "pretending to be female" and still believes HY is a male
