* LostInTranslation: When Wei Wuxian introduces himself to the illusory Jin Ling, he refers to himself as the latter's ''shishu'' (senior) rather than ''jiujiu'' or ''dajiu'' (both of which mean "uncle") despite being adopted into the Jiang family. This reflects him emotionally distancing himself from the Jiang Sect.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jin Zixuan realizes his mistake of treating Jiang Yanli badly after Wei Wuxian decks him a second time, given the guilty look in his eyes.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyShouting: While confessing his true feelings to Jiang Yanli, he weakly stammers and mutters a few sentences in before screaming from the top of his lungs, "I was the one who wanted you to come!", and since they were in a mountain, his voice ''echoes''.

* HeroicRROD: Downplayed. While all the spells that Wei Wuxian conjured in the past three episodes didn't tire him in the slightest, he got considerably taxed from absorbing Jin Ling's Curse Mark onto himself; although emotional stress might have something to do with it.

* AdaptationDeviation: Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian’s encounter after Jin Ling is saved from the Man-Eating Castle occurs a bit differently. In the novel, Wei Wuxian looked for Jin Ling (who ran away before he could do anything about the latter’s Curse Mark), although he bumps into Jiang Cheng when Xianzi chased him. But in the donghua, shortly after rescuing Jin Ling, Wei Wuxian immediately dispels his Curse Mark and shortly after Jiang Cheng finds both of them thanks to Xianzi.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the scene where Jin Zixuan accuses Jiang Yanli of stealing credit regarding who's been giving him soup, the worst thing he did in the novel was give her a brutally honest speech about how status doesn't equate to one’s integrity. He takes it further in the donghua by getting physical with her, such as shoving her away before grabbing her wrist while further antagonizing her.
