I sometimes wonder why they bother to show as an adaptation a script that keeps so little from the novel. In this instance, if they changed the characters' names and some secondary details any resemblance would virtually disappear.
As an avid watcher of cdramas, this isn't either the first time I've come across this phenomenon, I've watched other dramas where only the characters' names had been kept and nothing else.
I don't understand why they do this, wouldn't it be much easier to write an original script, which is what they are actually doing at the end of the day? It would, for one, save having to pay royalties to a novel that has pretty much nothing to do with the script.

I am praising the storyline for its originality, whether it is an adaptation or otherwise. Furthermore, it's not just the storyline I find original, but the direction, camera work and OST too.
Besides and, although this is not the main point I was making, this adaptation has kept so little from the novel it may as well be considered an original script.
is this good??? nothing else to really watch until BoP comes out
Not just good, it's the best drama so far this year IMO and one of the very best I've ever watched. It's original, superbly acted and directed, the cinematography is beautiful and the OST is on a league of its own. A masterpiece. Go for it without a doubt.
I loved everything about ep 35. The much needed lightness after the angst, the two of them enjoying all those little moments of peaceful love, Xiu Yao's jealousy, the two sisters and the uncle becoming a close family. Having said all this:
The hot spa scene was a massively wasted opportunity, wasn't it? Hello, producers?! 🤔😂
Qin Cang's assassin missed his heart by the edge of a hair, so he played the World Cup the next day with a perforated…
It's perfectly plausible that she was unable to defend herself under the effects of a strong sleeping drug, particularly when the attack came from her own assistant. It's also believable that the henchman missed Qin Cang's heart. None of those minor details affect the main plot, to me that's just nitpicking.
I think I'm going to go back and watch again the two magnificent fights when Xiu Yao smashes the wheelchair and then beats the hell out of the arrogant Cai Bei general. Can anybody remind me what ep it is? Thanks.
Ye Li: "Someone who serves four masters has no loyalty". General: "HOW DARE YOU??!! YOU ARE DEAD!!" Xiu Yao: "Hold my osmanthus wine". 😏
Again, there is no evil guy in their relationship. She's not the innocent victim, she should have told him the…
Sigh! He only started writing the divorce later because she did make it sound like she married him out of guilt and didn't rectify, instead she just sat and said nothing while he wrote the letter.
Unclear. Prob somebody came by the academy gates to give it to her. She could have said same thing she said before…
I think considering the delivery of the edict as an obvious plot hole is so far reached it comes across to me as just wanting to pick on the drama. Ye Li frequently went down to the gate to chat with the soldiers, they all knew her. A courier on horse delivered the edict at the gate and went back, the end. There was no pomp about it, the ED didn't even bother to provide a carriage for Ye Li , she had to ask the soldiers for money to make her own way because otherwise she'd have to walk all the way to the city.
As for the plague, so far the plot says they all died of 'an illness'. They could even have eaten something bad and she was the only one who didn't. We'll have to wait and see the full explanation.

The edict deliverer was there to deliver the edict, job done. The ED wasn't bother about it to the point she didn't even provide the means to bring Ye Li back to Da Chu, she had to borrow money from the soldiers and make her own way. Since entrance to the academy had been forbidden by the ED herself, most likely scenario is she received it at the gate. In most costume cdramas edicts are read at the entrance to the house, the messenger doesn't get invited for tea. I don't see this as a plot hole at all.

Aside from that, once they consummated their marriage there is no reason to believe that's the only time they did it.

I think they are dropping the final 5 eps on Sunday because otherwise we'll die of consumption. 😂😂😂😂
