You asked for spoilers so I'll give you spoilers.


In the novel, WKX is gravely injured during the battle at Fengya (Qingya, I think in the drama) Mountain, but ZZS takes him away. They go to Changming Mountain where the Great Shaman (Da Wu, Wu Xi) removes the Nails while WKX frets and Jing Beiyuan is relatively relaxed about the whole thing. ZZS is in a coma for three months and then wakes to WKX holding his hand. There are 4 extras, one of which tells the story partially from WKX perspective.

You should also know that in the novel they're not martial siblings, there they are truly strangers (and Prince Jin doesn't exist, his role is actually a decent ruler named Helian Yi and he's also not ZZS' cousin) and there's a bit less self-sacrifice going on and they're better at communicating (not at talking, but at communicating).

So all in all, I like the drama but I like the ZZS and WKX characters better in the novel. The side characters are so much better in the drama though.

I'm looking forward to getting further in the reread with the comm, I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff my first go around.
