There are also various actors playlists on YT that provide links to a lot of the dramas for that actor. Let me know if you would like a list of the actors I have enjoyed...
I've started reading an auto translated version of the novel. It's fairly long at 293 chapters. This drama adaption is almost all drawn from the first 1/3 of the novel. The misunderstanding that cause their separation for the last 2 years was cleared up by around chapter 80 and so far for at least the last 60 chapters I've read it has been the ML pursuing the FL pleading with her for forgiveness with the FL just repeatedly rejecting him and demanding a divorce (getting a little tiresome). Hopefully this doesn't drag out for the remaining 2/3s of the novel...
The novel for the most part is told from the FL point of view and is very angsty.
I've now watched all 8 versions. My favorites were the Zhang Yun Tao version and the Zeng Hui version. Rest were…
I find it interesting to compare the novel to what actually ends up in each of the dramas.
Most of the dramas just included scenes from the first half of the novel (still a lot of crazy in the latter portion of the novel). However, for the most part, scenes and dialogue from the various versions can be traced back to the novel.
The Zeng Hui version seemed to vary the most from the novel as it included scenes that weren't in the novel (for example, ML's aunt trying to kidnap the FL to send her abroad never happened - in the novel, the aunt started out initially opposed to the FL but after a conversation with the ML she became Team FL all the way) or used dialogue from the novel but changed the locations or timeline (for example, how the SML found out about the FL/ML being together).
It will be interesting to see if this novel is ultimately made into a longer network drama.
Got this info from Youtube user1st edition Jin Jiayu & Huang Yunyunhttps://youtu.be/eqwdW-YvJM8?si=u6zcpJqjZbxYjXQV2nd…
I've now watched all 8 versions. My favorites were the Zhang Yun Tao version and the Zeng Hui version. Rest were just OK. I've also read the novel that this drama was based on (used Google translate - for the most part the translated novel was very readable - pronouns were messed up as were the colloquialisms).
The novel is from the same author (Niao Song Mi) who wrote the "Prince Too Wild" novel. I'm almost done reading that novel. The Prince Too Wild dramas only covers about the first half of the novel (novel has 247 chapters) - lots of crazy that didn't make it into the drama. I plan to read the Shen Qing You Yin novel next. But given the discussion on the open ending to the drama, I didn't want to waste my time either watching the drama or reading the novel. But the novel has a happy ending (which given its from the same author as Prince Too Wild, I would have been shocked with any other ending). Shen Qing You Yin is even longer than Prince Too Wild as it has almost 300 chapters.

Like Prince Too Wild, Prince of Beijing has about 10 different versions. Zeng Hui/Han Yu Tong version was the best.
Most of the dramas just included scenes from the first half of the novel (still a lot of crazy in the latter portion of the novel). However, for the most part, scenes and dialogue from the various versions can be traced back to the novel.
The Zeng Hui version seemed to vary the most from the novel as it included scenes that weren't in the novel (for example, ML's aunt trying to kidnap the FL to send her abroad never happened - in the novel, the aunt started out initially opposed to the FL but after a conversation with the ML she became Team FL all the way) or used dialogue from the novel but changed the locations or timeline (for example, how the SML found out about the FL/ML being together).

Yes, Zeng Hui was in one version of Prince Too Wild. In addition to this version, I also really liked the version with Zhang Yun Tao.
I have become addicted to vertical drama!
Ooops - Han Yu Tong was in Prince of Beijing with Zeng Hui. FL in Prince Too Wild with Zeng Hui was Deng Ling Shu.

Same author who wrote the Prince Too Wild novel...
In Chinese - Use Google Translate to read in English (note pronouns and colloquialism may not translate correctly)

The Zhang Yun Tao version seems to follow the first half of the novel pretty closely.
