Love in Time (约定期间爱上你)

While the drama retains the core "contract marriage" setup and the main characters' names, it makes a significant change to the female lead's profession.

• Character Arc: The novel's female lead, Su Jian'an, was a brilliant forensic doctor (法医). The drama changed her profession to an unknown novelist, shifting the story's focus to the publishing/creative world.
• Plot Restructuring: The novel is a "sweet pet" (甜宠) novel with the core being the male lead's "warm marriage" (暖婚). The drama expands the "creative writing" and "entertainment industry" elements, adding more comedic and workplace conflicts.
• Character Dynamics: The novel's male lead, Lu Boyan, is a "good at scheming" and "cold on the outside, warm on the inside" (腹黑高冷) character. The drama emphasizes the "high school nemesis" (高中冤家) dynamic more heavily, adding a layer of "bickering lovers" (欢喜冤家) to their relationship.
