Yes, but this is the original version/plot(or the more novel plot like version) they just removed and censored some scenes9because of china's censorship), the live action/the untamed changed a lot from the original plot(the novel).
If you want to know the most accurate version, you can just read the novel.
I read this (before it was finished) watched the show (fully) then just finished re reading and finishing this and there is such a difference between this and the show and it’s mainly because gay relationships aren’t shown freely in most Asian countries but there are so many kissing/sex scenes compared to the show which really reduced it. Not only that but there are parts that are skimmed over in this and seen as big plot points in the show (like how the two mc’s escaped the cave or what happened after they escaped the cave). I think both are definitely something to get into if you haven’t. The mc’s relationship is unmatched & can’t be replicated!!!!
