While the core story and characters are expected to remain faithful to the source material, one confirmed change involves the male lead's name.

  • Name Change: The male lead's name has been changed from "张澍 (Zhāng Shù)" in the novel to "张书 (Zhāng Shū)" in the drama. This change removes the character's original meaning, as "澍" means "timely rain," a core metaphor for his role in the female lead's life.
  • Plot Pacing: As a novel-to-screen adaptation, certain plot points and details are inevitably streamlined or adjusted to fit the pacing and structure of a 24-episode series.
