I don't mind the DM's changes. I can accept her as a kind and naive younger sister who encountered misfortune with her marriage. The drama seems to be going in that direction too.
I don't know how to feel about Wang Yinxue though... how much further is she gonna involve? If it stops with the bandit incident, may be not bad, still acceptable. Otherwise, she doesn't have the capacity to involve further in the later major plots.
For now, I'm guessing they will put heavy focus on the last part of the story. All the Duke Ying household power struggle might be toned down a bit.
Ep 20, 21 - That's a ton of changes compared to the novel, and the plot is moving blazing fast too. Feels like there's a none zero chance that we might even be getting drama original plots as well?
If interested, I put a comparison of the major differences for todays' episodes in the comment.

Dou Zhao and Dou Min: In the novel, the relationship between DZ and DM is very strained, and they do not associate at all in the novel. Hence, by extension, SM never cares about WTY as well. In the drama, DZ gets involved in DM's affairs, which implies DM's story might be changed.
DM's miscarriage: This happens quite further into the story in the novel, and it happens at the same time as DZ's pregnancy. In the drama, this incident was moved way forward.
Wang Yinxue: Her role seems elevated in the second half of the drama's story compared to the novel. In the novel, she has minimal involvement in the later half of the story.
I have a question can someone help me 🤯 Song Mo captured his father, gave up on any filial bond and cut ties…
SM lives in a separate household after that, which is however still next to the Duke's main household. These will likely be explained in details in the upcoming episodes.
I have my fingers crossed that Song Han is good and he pairs up with An Su. That was an adorable first meeting…
If Song Han follows his novel counterpart, I'm already feeling sad for Miao Ansu as she was introduced since early part of the drama, and I love her as she's so adorable and good to Dou Zhao.
In the novel, Miao Ansu appears way later into the story as Song Han's bride from the country side. So, her relationship with Dou Zhao was that of sisters-in-law only.
I think they might change his nature in this drama... however he is carrying a black cat with him... which indicates…
Madam Jiang (SM's mother) used to have a black cat. SH knew about Madam Jiang's poisoning, so he got traumatic about poison. Hence, he always feeds his black cat with the food he's about to eat as poison tester.
Basically, SH's black cat leads to SM's mother poisoning, a major plot device.
And, the drama put a heavy emphasis on the black cat in one of the shots.
I like the drama's version of the postponed wedding night as well. A bit lighter tone compared to the novel.The…
I feel you ahaha.
I skipped the early parts and started reading/skimming from chapter 180, the part where Dou Zhao started planning to break the engagement with WTY. But, post-marriage era Dou Zhao is just so badass, so I skim less and less the further I'm into the later chapters. 😄

Agreed! They also did significant changes to Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, and I'm all for it.
I guess they'll follow the major plots of the novel, and introduce some changes to make the script flows nicer on-screen. The amount of characters and scope of the novel is just way too big.
As someone already explained, it's from Romance of the Three Kingdom. The original is "Liu Bei (future Emperor) visited Zhuge Liang (the smartest strategist of its time) three times to invite him to help him."
It's a very famous quote and was quoted very often in various media.
But, In the novel, her involvement is minimal in the later half of the story. She doesn't get better as well.

You only need to read around 250 chapters that way.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong though, recalling from the top of my head.
In the novel, Miao Ansu appears way later into the story as Song Han's bride from the country side. So, her relationship with Dou Zhao was that of sisters-in-law only.
Can't wait to actually watch it in the drama. Would only get better with the context, music, and full sequence.

And the leads had to watch 800 kissing scene videos for the kisses in this drama, so finger crossed we are in for a treat!

Here, Song Mo quoted that for Dou Zhao.
