Like someone who has murdered zero of her relatives.
The show does a terrible job adapting the novel sometimes. Her father is supposed to be the worst person ever, raped Sang Zan's mother and killed his... sister? I forget. Anyway, everyone, including Wang Zheng, was glad that he killed him. Also, Sang Zan led the slave rebellion and freed all the slaves. So... um.
Same in the first ep - there was a reason Zhao Yunlan let Xiao Guo up on that window ledge, but in the drama it's just wtf are you suddenly doing out there Guo?
I feel like the Pillar backstory is the same amount of cobbled together novel pieces that make no sense anymore if you don't know what they made them out of.
But I understand the approach to not consider anything from the novel and view the drama on its own. Of course then you end up with wtf nonsense sometimes.
I can't blame you for disliking Sang Zan, either. :) I don't like him either (or the way Wang Zheng is portrayed as pretty much a useless secretary). I was just saying that the show obviously wants us to ship them. I didn't care and skipped most of their romantic stuff.
Zhao Yunlan doesn't come across as particularly possessive
Yeah, the things that we see are mostly stalkery in nature, like him breaking in to Shen Wei's apartment and him installing a camera in his office. But the show is much cuter and makes them both into much nicer persons than the novel does, which definitely is a reason to love the show and prefer it over the novel.
