The drama retains the core premise of the "scandal elimination plan" and the main characters' dynamic, but makes significant changes to several romantic subplots and supporting character pairings.

Character Arc: In the novel, the female lead's best friend is a more antagonistic character who even tries to get close to the male lead because of his family's wealth. The drama portrays this relationship differently.
Plot Restructuring: The novel features a complex love quadrilateral where Lu Wanwan initially has a crush on An Jiaxian, who likes Liang Xia, who in turn likes Ren Chu. The drama simplifies this dynamic.
Couple Pairing Change: In the novel, Fan Yi and Song Rongrong are a couple. The drama instead pairs Fan Yi with Gu Qiao as the official couple.
Couple Pairing Change: The novel includes couples like Wang Xinyu and Meng Xibai, as well as Tang Luo and Guan Ai. The drama alters these relationships for the screen adaptation.
