I do not know much about how Chinese people accept LGBT population, but from what I've heard it is a total taboo in dramas and movies. So, of course, they couldn't really portrait in drama everything from the novel and had to change few things, both in the way of telling the story and about characters so that it could be accepted by a wider audience. I have watched drama, read the novel, watched anime, and now I'm reading this. Every adaptation did its justice in its own way. And for the drama, I think it did an amazing job at portraying their love in a subtle way and with few hints. The actors did amazing, especially Wang Yibo, who played LZ, who had so little lines, but did amazing job at showing how deep his love is towards WY only through his eyes and expression. But both Xian Zhan and Wang Yibo made their characters alive in a human way and showed their (characters) love towards each other silently but at the same time almost screaming. I watched this with my mother and sister, both of them didn't know that it should be BL story, but already after few episodes, they realised it thanks to their actions and the way they looked at each other. So I wouldn't say it was misleading and especially not deceiving. They did some changes because it was a drama, not many people who watched even knew there was a novel, and some never even saw such a story, so they did what they had to do to please a wider audience. And they did an amazing job. I am usually very critical of dramas, and I hate poor production. But the actors did such a beautiful job that even with a low budget and some things done very poorly, I can say that this is one of my most favourite dramas, series, stories, ever.
CQL changed a lot of things. I am not attacking it but I won't call it a romance drama but instead an endless pining one. MDZS and CQL are different, a lot of things was there that aren't in canon(i am not saying the romance since its expected but the plot in sunshot campaign) The CQL's crime was too low and Wei Ying was portrayed as a goodie two shoes, unlike the novel who showed him as a monster. (wy is good) JWY to WQ too, its completely the opposite. A lot os scenes we're changes just to fall in the CD standards. I won't call CQL the same as MDZS because of this.
