Oh yes! I was thinking the same thing.Originally posted by: Leprechaun
The same author's 4th story also has the same style of rebirth. The rest are like Shen Miao's.
Overall rebirth part is omitted in Chinese dramas since someone committed suicide hoping they'll be reborn in ancient times! That created a lot of unrest and the drama adaptation stopped doing it now.

Maybe that's the reason rebirth stories are restricted in dramas these days.
They will probably modify Shen Miao's story as well. 
By the way, there isn't much information about these writers on Wikipedia, unlike actors
Ps:- Have you read any Korean or Japanese novels?
By the way, based on my experience so far, I find costume drama novels much more intense and engaging than modern drama novels.
