Aside drama Xie Zheng being a bit more romantic and a bit lesser political intrigues on screen, it's quite similar.

Not as different as Prisoner of Beauty and its novel does.

Those specific scenes were in the extra stories.

Xie Zheng got jealous of something Li Huaian has gifted to Changyu in the past, hence 'interrogated' her at night thoroughly. Changyu can't take it anymore and fled to the palace where her bestie Yu Qian Qian is, to hide from Xie Zheng.

(There are long married at this point of the story)

After a few days, Xie Zheng wore scholar outfit into the palace (which he dislikes because of Song Yan) to coax Changyu.

And donning the scholar outfit just to coax her out of the palace. It was hilarious. 🤣

When FL took the horse, you can see the leash was put around the sword.

She's well familiar with the prescriptions used in the palace. So, she has studied medicine for sure.

There are ppl who would label 'overhyped' to literally any show, so better judge yourself if it's to your taste. This drama is very well paced, so won't take long to get the feel of it.

The waterfall scene... they freaking nailed it!

The build up, the dialogues, the delivery... it couldn't have been better that this. Bonus was, they followed the source material to a T to keep the essence as well. Ah... this adaptation is totally a wet dream for novel readers tbh.

Around ch 80

We really need to have a slap counter when the drama ends. Seems like it should be quite high compared to other dramas lol.

Bet Sui Yuanqing taking the top spot for it. He surely racked up quite a bit. 😂

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here"

I was justing talking about this user the other day and now he/she is here. lol

It's the weapon she's most comfortable in. If mine is a pebble, I might still choose it over others. lol

Killing the bear was part of the novel, and was cut in the drama.

When Fan Changyu said she'll get meat for Xie Zhang (same as drama), she actually went hunting with the soldiers and solo-ed the bear.

And, for the salt, she actually went down the mountain and raided the enemy camp.

Thus, she became a hero among the soldiers due to her feats and securing provisions.

Btw, the Bear got mentioned! haha

Nice of the writer to put it in as a gossip after having to cut it from the story. 😂😂

That is a well known troll account. Bet he/she is not even Esther fan.

It's just the mess of Xie Zheng's own making. It's as simple as that. He knew very well that how Fan Changyu is sincere toward her love ones and to which length she'll go for them.

Today was Shi Hu's turn.

Tomorrow is your turn Xie Zheng 🤣🤣🤣

She's willing to take care of him, and most importantly, he wants to be taken care of by her.

He even refused the marriage to Grand Princess before. He's no fool. Unless he wants it himself, nobody can force it on him.

Even in the drama, she's still 18/19 by ep25. It's only a few months from the beginning of the story.

ikr, sometimes ppl forgot that majority of characters in historical novels (especially FLs) are 15-16 yr old.
