Fairies Albums (百妖谱)

The series is an adaptation of an ongoing novel with an open-ended structure, and the ultimate fate of the characters remains unknown. The剧终 will likely see the trio continuing their journey. The series is a live-action adaptation of the popular novel. However, it has generated significant controversy for potentially making substantial changes to the source material.

• Character Arc & Focus Shift: The original novel is a "strong female lead" (大女主) anthology story focused on Tao Yao. The drama is rumored to have elevated the originally minor character Si Kuanglan to the male lead (邓为, Deng Wei) and significantly expanded his romantic storyline.
• Plot Addition: The drama has reportedly inserted substantial subplots for a large group of new male actors (referred to as the "Little Four Boy Band"). Fans worry this will water down the main plot and turn the series into a vehicle to promote newcomers.
• Plot Deletion: There are concerns that to make room for the new subplots, the drama may compress or even delete classic stories from the novel, such as "Shujin Bird" (漱金鸟) and "Qingji" (庆忌).
• Tonal Shift: The original work is a healing and warm fantasy story. Fans fear the drama will turn it into a watered-down, formulaic romantic idol drama (古偶流水线恋爱剧) that loses its original gentle and healing core.
