* AbortedArc

** The biggest change is that it was a different person who founded demonic cultivation to be used in an effective way, centuries before Wei Wuxian was even born. This allows Wen Ruohan to use it for his plans of conquest.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In the finale, [[spoiler: once Jin Guangyao is well and truly cornered with no way to escape, Lan Xichen warns him that he will strike him down if he tries anything. Almost immediately, the camera cuts to Nie Huaisang giving a cold and calculating look at both of them. When Lan Xichen turns to Nie Huaisang, the latter suddenly shouts that Jin Guangyao was about to do something... and Lan Xichen carries through with his threat]].

* Ominous Fog: Yi City is wreathed inside it.

When Lan Xichen turns to Nie Huaisang, the latter suddenly shouts that Jin Guangyao was about to do something... and Lan Xichen carries through with his threat.

** By the time Lan Wangji takes Wei Wuxian back to the Cloud Recesses in the present time, Wei Wuxian already knows that Lan Wangji figured out his real identity, hence he doesn't wear his mask in his presence.

* CallBack: Lan Wangji offers to carry Wei Wuxian who is in pain because of the curse mark on his leg. He reminds him that he once offered to carry Lan Wangji because of his leg injury when they were Wen's hostages. Unlike Wei Wuxian back then, and because they can show weakness, Lan Wangji doesn't take no for an answer and pulls Wei Wuxian onto his back.

* TheUnreveal: While Lan Wangji's brand scar is kept in the series, how he got it is never explained. Although one can assume that the reasons are the same as in the novel.

** The aforementioned change also leads to a different sequence of events at the climax. [[spoiler:Nie Mingjue's fierce corpse doesn't rise and attack Jin Guangyao. Baxia does, however, as does his angry spirit although the latter happens off-screen.]]

** The amount of years that passed during the TimeSkip is increased from thirteen to sixteen years.

** It isn't an arm that causes the deaths at Mo Manor and starts the plot, but the spirit [[spoiler:of Baxia, Nie Mingjue's spiritual sabre leading to its master's remains. Jin Guangyao still hid Nie Mingjue's head in Koi Tower, but the rest of his body remained whole and was hidden in Coffin Town.]]

Jin Guangyao still hid Nie Mingjue's head in Koi Tower, but the rest of his body remained whole and was hidden in Coffin Town.]]

* AdaptationDistillation: Mo Xuanyu's infamous reputation as a DepravedHomosexual is nonexistent in the series, and he's mainly known as as a lunatic. However, there are still hints that Mo Xuanyu is still a homosexual in this adaptation, as Jin Ling insulted him by calling him "lewd" or "shameless".

* {{Fainting}}: Of the '''Exhaustion Faint''' form. Wei Wuxian falls unconscious several times across the span of the series because he overtaxed his body, often while he is still recovering from injuries. Occasionally it's a PowerStrainBlackout after using Demonic Cultivation.

* BloodFromTheMouth: Regularly happens, both from lethal and non-lethal reasons, like a sword through the gut or vomiting tainted blood.

** One of Jiang Cheng's first spoken lines is telling Wei Wuxian to go to hell before striking him dead -- giving the audience an idea of how much he hates Wei Wuxian. In the finale, he tells Wei Wuxian (albeit not to his face) to take care himself

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The first episode starts with showing Wei Wuxian's final moments in the Burial Mounds, with Lan Wangji trying to save Wei Wuxian from falling and Jiang Cheng stabbing the latter so he would fall. [[spoiler: Episode 33 replays the same scene again, showing that not all was as it seemed.]]
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The rabbits, of course. They're basically walking cotton balls with ears.

* BittersweetEnding: Exempting the protagonists, some of the characters win some as much as they lose some. One such example is Jiang Cheng, [[spoiler: who doesn't lose Jin Ling or suffer the loss of his sect again; but even after finding closure with Wei Wuxian, their relationship remains distant without any reassurance from either that they can try to be friends or brothers again]]. Although in contrast to the novel, the series adds a slightly more hopeful touch by [[spoiler: having Jiang Cheng gently telling Wei Wuxian to take care of himself, like he did in the past]].

* MeaningfulEcho: During Lan Wangji's visit to the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian gives him an ArmorPiercingQuestion about the GreyAndGrayMorality of their world. Later on, Lan Wangji repeats this question to his uncle while receiving his punishment for defending Wei Wuxian.

* ExhaustionFaint: Wei Wuxian falls unconscious several times across the span of the series because he overtaxed his body.
