Actually, these are all adapted from the novel, which i fully read and is NOT only shounen ai! The novel has tons of yaoi besides the cute stuff, but due to censorship in china, only the novel could express the whole package :< the manga won't go much further than kissing that's for sure, and maybe would lightly hint at the other stuff but i highly doubt any of THE scenes are going to be explicitly drawn. HOWEVER, if you want the nice steam (and don't mind reading like,,,, 126 chapters?? Or just the extra chaps that have most of the LEmoNs) read the novel! (⌒▽⌒). But if u don't like reading, the manga IS pretttyyy accurate and the best adaptation in my opinion!

Okay so, i’ve read the manga, watched both the anime and the live action drama and i’d say if youre in the story for the shounen-ai (yes shounen ai, this fluff ball romance aint turning yaoi....unless the manga artist listen to my requests and gives us sum good ol’ steamy scenes o.o) then the manga is way to go, it shows the growing bond of lan and wei the most prominently after which comes the live action which follows mostly true to the story but it falls behind on the intimate moments of lan and wei and then lastly comes the anime which is basically action, very minimal emphasis on lan and wei’s relationship. The storyline of the manga is very strong and interesting enough on its own even without the BL theme, i know 100+ chps is a long read but if you enjoy historical action plots with supernatural themes, this manga is worth the read. (Also the art of the manga changes a bit but its still not so bad)
