If you like this drama, have a watch of "The Prisoner of Beauty" also based on a novel which they adapted well IMHO although ending as always is rushed,
This drama has diverged significantly from the novel, until now there is almost no resemblance to it.
I prefer the novel, although I can understand adapting it would be hard as the story spans over a decade of fighting, wars. Ye Li does not have PTSD with her maid - who was a real person in the novel.
Novel is almost completely different than the drama. No monkeys. No secluded lishan.
LiShan mountain is in the novel, but that's where Ye Li based her QiLin Warriors ( I think, it's been over a year since I read it). A 1K strong death squad that she personally trained.
Current episodes feel like an entirely different story now.
Omg the teaser is 🔥😍 i'm glad to see the characters are so far consistent with the novel
Been a while since I read the novel, but I think she was in a political marriage to state of WuMan, got pregnant but she aborted the baby at the price of not being able to have any more children.
how old is the fl in the novel?she is supposed to be older right? because the actress really look her age. So…
17. Although the drama adaptation has already diverged from the novel - so not sure if it's even relevant. In the novel not only was FL reborn but Gu ChuSheng as well.
When Wei family went to battle she already knew the outcome, and what the widows would do and who stole from the family.
So major change has already been made, unless screenwriters plan to explain all that later. We have 40 ep tho' so who knows.
Fu Yi Xiao (FL) loves Xia Jing Shi (SML). While he has feelings for her as well, he rejects her because of his…
So when the story begins, this is a big secret which only a handful of people know. I believe FL is also aware. That's why the previous emperor removed Xia Jing Shi from inheriting the throne and also XJS didn't want the throne as he couldn't have offspring.
It is only after the current holy emperor became a bad ruler that Xia Jing Shi went to war to claim the throne and right at the end everyone found out about it.
So this is all from the novel. Not sure how this will be adapted seeing they start FL off with amnesia which is not in the book.

Actually in the novel the reason he rejects her and does not have conjugal relationship with his princess consort is that he is a eunuch. Huge secret that emporer and emp dowager knows. chapter 132/133
