Added DiffLines:

* InNameOnly: The series has very little in common with the novel. The most obvious differences include:
** In the novel Wei Yang is the heroine's real name and she really is part of the Li family. Xin Er's backstory and taking on Wei Young's identity are original to the series.
** The novel starts with Wei Yang already married to Tuoba Zhen (Tuoba Jun in the series), deposed as empress in favour of Zhang Le/Chang Le, and ordered to commit suicide. After her death she time-travels back to her thirteen-year-old self. None of this happens in the series.
