The scriptwriter Wang Juan had clearly explained this problem. "Teng Zijing's background, appearance, and contradictions in his character, including his connection with Fan Xian, have all been re-designed. Fan Xian had been lonely in this world in his early years. Fan Ruoruo had left when she was a child. Although Wu Zhu and Fei Jie had treated him well, they were still elders, so he had never had any friends. Teng Zijing, who was about the same age as him, was Fan Xian's first friend in this world. Teng Zijing's past had also been laid out anew. It was to let Fan Xian understand this world more through Teng Zijing, or rather, to be more immersed in this world and not just be a spectator. In the original story, Teng Zijing had always been by Fan Xian's side and was an obedient subordinate. Now, it was changed to a person with a past and a struggle. He and Fan Xian gradually established a friendship and then, through his story, brought Fan Xian setbacks and blows. Teng Zijing did not appear much, but he gave Fan Xian a chance to explode." Teng Zijing's actor, Wang Yang, had also said," Teng Zijing's departure was a powerful reason for Fan Xian's change of mind and maturity. Without this segment, it might be difficult to use other people and events as motives to stimulate the protagonist in the drama structure. The meaning and value of a character's existence, other than its function, was whether there was enough space for the actor to perform. The space mentioned here was definitely not limited to the number of scenes, because the number of scenes did not determine whether a character was glorious or not. If a character was just a long, boring, and solidified existence that did not contribute to the corresponding character or plot, then its value was really negligible and meaningless. "Instead of doing that, why not let the character complete his or her dramatic function and leave in a 'reasonable' manner?" "Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties. They are not allowed to see their hair turn white in the world." Compared to Teng Zijing, who didn't die but silently left the scene and became a passerby in the original novel, dying at the most brilliant time and becoming the white moonlight of everyone, especially Fan Xian, might be a better ending for Teng Zijing. This kind of design not only allowed the character to be sublimated and complete the character's creation, but it also made Fan Xian's motive for staying in the capital more reasonable. It could be said to fully display the greatest value of a character. This kind of adaptation is the good adaptation that we should see!
