After reading the book, I went to watch the TV series and found that there were many adaptations in the TV series and a lot of new characters were added. However, the interaction between Jiu'er and Yu Zhan'ao was still very sweet. One was a heroine and the other was a hero and a bandit.
Zhu Yawen is so suitable to play Yu Zhan'ao.
