The manga mostly follow the novel. But for anime and drama, deliberately not made like the original novel. because it is for the wider community. while China is not a country that is open to this genre (〜￣△￣)〜

To everyone in the comments what I did to understand this story completely was to watched the anime (donghua) first two episodes then read the novel till that part, then watched the anime season 1 till the end and finished the novel completely, after that Iwatched the second season of anime (which has a lot of changes and not true to story %100)
I recommend you to leave the drama and manga to end I think its better and please definetely read the novel you understand everything perfectly
