Agree with you! Yes the novel is more detailed and its pace is good but considering they had to cut down episodes and fit 245 chapters to 36 episodes, it's going good.

In the novel, recruits didnt see Xiao Jue as much as they see him in the drama. That is why He Yan had fun with Xiao Jue in the novel because he didnt know she knows his identity. But considering they had to make changes and the novel is long, this is also okay i guess.

yes! I understand they had to cut down episodes but still I would love to see LSH..

You're welcome 🤍Agree that is cruel but He Rufei is paranoid and as long as He Yan lives, he sees her as a threat. That is why at first they blind her. It is kinda like clipping her wings. But He Yan continues to live and even though she is blind, the is still strong. That is why they kill her...

Old classmates had such a bond actually..

I explained it below, but couldnt mention you..

I have watched the episodes and most disappointing thing was the duel between Wang Ba and He Yan. They made it too short and there was no wow effect..

He Yan and He Rufei born on the same day only minutes or hour apart. He Rufei born weak and doctors told the family he wouldnt live pass 2 years old. He family at that time need to continue their military achivements to stay in the capital and protect their status in the court. That's why they made a decision to change the children's identity. He Rufei sent to a temple in disguise of He Yan and He Yan became He Rufei. Actually their family even tried to get He Yan marry to another girl. They didnt expect He Rufei to be grown. They expected him to die and He Yan to live as a male all of her life.

Agree with you. Novel is my favorite and I'm trying to watch it as a new script so that I can enjoy and it's been good. If I start to compare with the novel, changes makes me upset..

I also feel the same about Lin Shuanghe.. He was my cutie pie and I loved his humor in the novel. Lisu was clueless and had childish energy in the novel. It feels weird watching Cheng Lisu in the drama

He was grieving and also suspected He Rufei in the war. Probably that's why he didnt feel they are not the same or something is wrong with He Rufei.

I agree with you it would be better if they explained some things clearly. For your first question, idk if you read the novel but I can explain if you want.

They made some changes and its kinda fast paced but considering its only 36 episodes and 35 min per episode, it is okay and I'm loving it kinda

In the novel, He Yan woke up in a young, delicate girl's body whom is the daughter of city garrison when she was killed in her first life. Song Taotao's romantic partner was new life He Yan's brother but for the drama, and as much as we know they didnt include reborn into another family trope.

I've been waiting for nearly 2 years but these past few days, I feel like time has slowed down...

It happened in the novel when He Yan saved Song Tao Tao

I havent read the novel but if yan li's father and the real cp are identical twins, the empress and consort might not know. And maybe Yan li's father might be from family of farmers because giving birth to twins in royal families is an inauspicious signs? Idk it's just my theory...

Same! They probably wanted to send messages to the viewers but as you said her discussion with Yan Chi would be enough. I had the same ick when Yan Chi told her that he doesnt want a wife who is stuck at home and doing make up only etc. Women hadnt given a chance to pursue their dreams and live their own life. Making comparisons and trying to prove FL is perfect while downgrading another type of women is kinda given me ick but this drama stopped my slump.. So..

I'm currently at ep 20 and I have a problem with heroification of FL. I love the characters, I love the drama, pacing and each case but in opera case, I kinda had enough with the "would I do the same?" "no, you wouldn't do anything evil. you just want justice" dialogue. FL has her merits and talents that she can show and stand on her own foot. She has backing of Grand Princess and Yan Chi. She knows women have hard times standing alone and they are not taken seriously. Officials didnt give her a face and didnt believe what she can do before Yan Chi takes a step. Also we saw how officials do their job before ML and FL show up. I know it's not right to make your own justice but judging someone and telling them they should've gone to the officials and choose different path when they are in jail is kinda off for me. English is not my first language so idk if i explained myself well but that's all...

heyy!! I just finished it too. I also fast forwarded a lot... Ending was satisfying enough so I'm glad that I finished it.
