    Genuine question: Why does the production company adapt this novel, but doesn’t follow the story at all?

      No cdrama viewers know.

      Sometimes investors of a production have a lot of say in how the IP is adapted. Sometimes changes are made to guarantee a profit for the production company but not necessarily for the streaming platform that contracts out (if the platform owns the IP license) or buys the drama. Sometimes changes are made in consideration of the main cast’s acting abilities, or lack thereof. Any or all of the above might play into a production.

      I enjoyed the novel, well… the first half, the second half was a disappointment.

      I watched the first two episode and it is entirely a different story lol they only kept the name of the characters. I hate that they made the female lead so childish though. Really wished they kept the transmigration plot.

        The second part was a trainwreck and I regretted reading the novel lol. It was like the author was throwing in every possible plot development just to drag the story out.

      Tons of reason but we will never know unless the screenwriter vent about it, lols.

      Adapting a novel guarantees a fanbase already so they would just need to find popular actors to guarantee viewership, then change stuff to fit into today’s hot/trendy topics, adding characters and plot lines/couples to promote their own rookies in acting (investors do this all the time).

      plus china bans/restricts a lot of topics (boy-boy romance, time travel etc) in dramas, so transmigration wouldnt be tolerated, which is a popular plot in a lot of novels these days.
