As far as the content goes I stripped out the fat/fluff (the ads, episodes previews from the show, thus only the OP/Content/ED remains per episode) via mkvmerge (thus retaining the audio/visual quality). What you see is the by far the definitive version of the show.
Synopsis:
She, a renowned assassin of the 21st century, actually crossed over to become Su Manor’s most useless good-for-nothing Fourth Miss.
He, Jin Empire’s imperial highness, was an emotionless overbearing demonic tyrant with unrivaled talent.
Everyone knew that she was idiotic and good-for-nothing and bullied her as they pleased. But only he, the overbearing tyrant with the discerning eye, wouldn’t let go of her even if his life depended on it.
For the time being, let’s just see how the stubborn versus stubborn clash and play out in this good show of the chaser and the chased.
Novel vs Animu Differences (without spoilers):

In short the novel is pretty much a typical former Assasin (who doesn't even fit any of the criteria of one, an epic phailed one at best) FL Xianxia storyline rifed with all the sheer plot armor, power fantasy, clichés, and grimdark aspects of xianxia, etc.
Plot wise it was pure cancer, it is only good for world/lore building. It plays out more of a standard Xianxia/Dark ending path.
This is series only attracted my attention due to getting an animu adaptation.
The animu adaptation I admit fixes many of the flaws the original light/web novel had, deviates away from many of the novels original plots (thank Haruhi/Xianxia Gods), and gives a more objective viewpoint (as the novel was based on the FL POV),
plays out more like an combination of an parody (ala Abridged Series/Psychic Princess approach) of the novel + Otome game with more of a Persona/True ending path.
Though having finished the Seasons 1 + 2 of the series I am rather excited for Season 3 of the animu/donghua to air given how the plot is different than the LN (the anime is far more likable, and of course it's animu) coming near the end of 2021.
