In the novel, He Yan had a rebirth. So her mom thinks her daughter died so she blamed herself and the family members for that. She later testified against Hu Rufei to the majesty. He Yan was a little upset but she never resented her. In the novel, the woman died later.

We are going to get " the moon is now yours" scene!! Yayy!

Even in the novel, it was not told how Xiao Jue knew. He just said wasn't today your birthday. When He Yan asked how did he know? He told her her ability to deceive was inconsistent and full of holes. Just like what the drama showed.
If I remember correctly, the fake uncle asked her if her birthday was soon. And she said it was after spring equinox. That was the only mention. Other than that how Xiao Jue knew is pure mystery.

Chu Zhao had a lot of screentime in today's episodes, also He Rufei, but with the drama only having 10 episodes remaining (now 8), they had to show the palace politics. All of these issues discussions between Chanc Xu, his daughter, Chu Zhao, his maid, He Rufei all form the base towards the climax.

I hope the duration of the episodes increase now at least.

It was nice to see FL and ML dining with ML's brother and sister-in law. Kind of a nice family gathering , FL never had a familial bond, kind of nice to see them together.

Yes, according to the novel.

According to the novel, that doesn't happen. About the drama, I don't know, but since they showed a kind of closeness between Chanc Xu's daughter and Chu Zhao, I don't think they would make them step-siblings. Even in the novel, they were about to get married.

In the 5-6th episode, the ex wife told him he would have been a good dad. It was just that she did not want a kid in her 20s, but now in her 30s, her view about having kids have changed.

It was shown that his wife had an abortion without consulting him. That lead to problems. So maybe that lead to the divorce. No absolute reason is shown till now except for this.

Childhood sweethearts, companionship, friendship is mostly depicted. Romance like falling in love, intense gazes, jealous scenes, confessing love are not a part. But the ML and FL do get married.

According to the novel, that's on ML's birthday, they celebrate it in the night market. Its before the wedding in the novel, but the drama did bring some changes, so let's see.

In my country, Tiktok is banned, so the video is not visible for me. But I guess the episode 35-36 should be the battle scenes.

There should also be a battle where the FL is wearing white. In the novel, it was after the wedding.

Exactly!

Its uploaded on WeTV. We don't need subscription for that. Its free. Everyday when the new episodes release, the preview for the next two episodes also release. You can see it in the WeTV website directly.

I read the novel and loved it. But to continuously think of this drama as an adaptation and compare it, is something I feel we shouldn't do. The novel has 250 + chapters, the drama has 36 episodes with each being around 34-43 minutes. Its not possible to include everything.
They have retained many amazing parts, yes they did some changes, but I think that's okay! My only question is though I am loving the previews of ep 28 and 29, when are they going to confess their love. I mean its high time, come on, we deserve at least 7-8 episodes of sweet romance plus marriage.

If they follow the novel, there are post marriage scenes. I mean the last battle, is after the marriage.

True!

FL said yes. She should have said No. ML was not ready to hear anything, after she said yes. But then, how would they stretch the misunderstanding, if everything gets sorted out.
But at least we have the previews of ep 26 and 27. So the misunderstanding clears of soon, we just need to wait till Sunday.
Honestly, can't blame the ML, anyone would have reacted the way he did. I think when he clears his mind and calms down later, he will understand.

In ep 4, he found out that she was a woman. They are not officially a couple as of now, but they have fallen in love with each other, after pretending to be a couple in the last few episodes.
