Yes, yeeees! HY is HY, but XJ isn't XJ. And, really, Ryan Cheng is a great actor, they didn't need to change so much about XJ...

CP also gives her a poison that causes her flesh to rot and has no antidote, so, in the end, she's trapped in a dungeon, rotting, and asks CH to kill her.

He's much more likable here. Let's see if this continues, or if CH is going to do something shady.

She can't leave the army now, or she would be considered a deserter.

After the Jiyang city battle.

Few lines that end the side story: 159, 160 and *161*.

“Don’t you feel pain? You don’t have a sense of pain? You don’t cry out when you’re hurt?”

He Yan sensed that he seemed a bit angry.

She instinctively replied, “I… I don’t feel pain.”

A faint trace of mockery flashed in the young man’s eyes as he calmly said to her, “Is it that you don’t feel pain, or you dare not feel it? Is it that you think it’s unnecessary, or you don’t need to?”

After saying this, he released her arm and turned away without looking back at He Yan.

“What a temper he has,” He Yan muttered softly to herself, standing in place for a while, “No one has ever taught me, and no one has ever comforted me either.”

Divided between these chapters: 157-154, *151*, 148, 144, 143.

If you enjoyed it, I recommend reading the novel chapters about their story. It's quite sad but very well-written. I can tell you which ones they are.

Exactly, because I wasn't talking about a happy ending as a couple. The way she dies and what she suffers before that is very cruel... I know most of it probably won't be repeated because they tend to soften things in series, but I really hope she doesn't die and overcomes Chu Zao. And I really cried a lot with Yan He and Liu Buwang, the saddest part for me was when he reunites with the princess afterwards and the way they treat each other and the misunderstanding that remains, so heartbreaking...

With all the changes they made to the plot, here I am hoping that Liu Buwang, Yan He, and Hua You Xian (Chu Zao's maid) have better endings. Hua You Xian above all!!!

Good for you. I'm very disappointed, and it's not even about the changes themselves... But they cut so many things to focus only on the romance, big scenes that are just dialogue between HY and her army companions, or even between her and other supporting characters that deepen the understanding of the ML. Overall, although I think the acting is very good, their personalities are much more shallow. While the novel is marvelous and shows great character development, especially with the revenge plot, the series is almost solely focused on romance, and many scenes have been altered to feature only her and the ML.

He helped her a lot, but died in the process. They never see each other again. It's very sad.

Ow, true, sorry!

An angel! Thanks!

Oh, I think he looks evil, wich is sad, Bai Shu is always so funny and/or sweet. :/

They merge him with the nephew.

Me too. And it's so sad. :/

This justification for the episodes being 35 minutes long doesn't make sense. The character doesn't have enough scenes in the story to account for a 20-minute reduction across 36 episodes.

Can we talk about the OST? God, it just intensified my tears...
