Hi and welcome (again)! Very much looking forward to your observations about differences between the versions, yay! :D

As someone quite fond of drama!Guo Changcheng, I'm really happy they softened up the descriptions of him. The kinder humour really works for me. (Sounds like it's a good thing I didn't read earlier versions! *g*)

That's really interesting about Li Qian, too. I like how they leave her feelings a little ambiguous -- I think this also helps: Her expression slowly contorted into something strange—a look of fear, or perhaps resentment. Which helps set up her storyline while still making her pitiable, I think? *pets her*

Haha, yes, novel!Da Qing is amaaazing!

Love that in every version, Zhao Yunlan sees Shen Wei and is instantly like "pretty. Wow. Wait. Suspicious? Pretty. Pretty AND Suspicious. I should get to know him better."

Yes, it's a fantastic progression. It's such catnip. *g*

I wasn't expecting the novel to be so much fun, either; it kept making me laugh out loud. I'm really looking forward to revisiting it. :D

(Sleeeep! <3)
