In my opinion, the drama handled episode 31 better than the novel. The novel felt a bit disjointed at this point, though the drama was good overall. However, I’m still disappointed with the scene where Duan Xu’s sister discovers He Simu, as the novel’s version of that moment was absolutely hilarious.
Yan Ke's obsession is ultimate power and authority. You can deduce the rest from here.
In the novel Yan Ke is the villain of the spirit world and his obsession is the throne and He Simu. Anything more than that, I'll have to divulge the entire plot here. And the drama team can even tweak the storyline too, so no need to ruin the fun.
This was such a great run, and I’ll definitely miss it in the coming week. If anyone is wondering whether to binge it, I’d say go for it—but watch with patience and avoid skipping scenes. It’s truly a wonderfully healing drama.
After Arthur's period drama, this is the best one I've seen this year. I'm not usually drawn to period dramas since I can't really relate to them, but this one was a fantastic watch. Highly recommend it to everyone.
I’m just waiting to see how they handle Duan Xu’s visit to the capital—whether they stick to the novel or…
Yes. After the marriage his sister knows. Not all though. Fang Xiang Ye knows before marriage. You can read the novel. It's only 105 chapters in total and 5 extra chapters.

There’s another woman, but she already has a lover, and Duan Xu is essentially helping her escape while also avoiding his family’s pressure to marry, since he can’t openly wed a spirit. He Simu was invited too. It's quite a funny scene.

Before going to the capital He Simu basically rejects Duan Xu and in the capital Duan Xu even gets married but that was a fake marriage to return to the battlefield and stop his family from pressuring him into marriage. I want to see if they tweak it a bit or leave it as it is. Till now there are only minor tweaks, so I'm wondering.
