What was the purpose of their bodies looking almost identical to each other?
Was it just the animator's decision or was it in the novel?

Why does Wei WuXian look like Mo XuanYu?


I think it was noted in the novel or extra materials that due to the influence
of Wuxian's soul and the fact that the body LITERALLY became his, it
immediately started taking the shape of his own body, little by little.

I think it was the animator's decision. All we know is when Wei Ying made
comments about Mo Xuan Yu's body, he noted that Mo Xuan Yu was shorter than
him in his previous life and that he was handsome as well.

There was no note on that in the novel. In the novel, he was extremely
surprised when Lan Zhan was able to recognize him, so actually according to
the story, they aren't supposed to look alike at all.
