can u tell me about the ml's character in the first life in the novel? like did he kill her in the novel too or…
1) Yes, he knows that he’s a prince. He was sent outside of the palace after his birth because a divination said something about his birth chart being disharmonious with the emperor’s. He couldn’t go back to the palace until he was 18
2) The emperor is a very good character in my opinion. He’s very funny and gets along well with the ML once they meet, and also with FL. He and ML are hilarious together.

He’s not the one who kills her, it’s the fourth princess consort (Qi). As for the nanwu plot, that country does not exist in the novel. There is a tribe in the south she goes to, and that’s where they meet, but that tribe is not who Da Zhou is at war with.
The series is not following the novel. They have made significant changes to fit the story in 40 episode drama.
I agree, and I really don’t like the changes. Also, it feels like they dumbed her down while hypping him up. They go for the comedic tone and it feels forced, the novel was already plenty funny in my opinion.
In the novel, she is 12 while he is 21 when they first meet and, although she’s reborn, the author really accentuates the fact that she feels like a regular kid when with him…
For those who finished the show, does Jieyou marry 3 times ? In history, she first marries the rulling Wusun king before marrying Wenggui and then marries someone else when Wenggui himself dies. Does that happen in the drama ?
The story is really interesting but doesn't flow very smoothly, maybe it's the editing. All the characters are somehow entangled with one another but they just appear one after the other without pause, everything sort of gives me whiplash. They didn't give much thought to world building that's for sure.
