Both of your writing skills are strong🤍 What is discouraging
you people from finishing the rest of the story is beyond
me. Your readers shouldn't be left in such agony by you🥺
Post the last chapter🙏
I miss Xiaoyao & Xiangliu terribly😭
You've finished watching both seasons recently, right? So it's understandable that it's all too fresh.
When I first found out that he would die, I created an MDL account, a bunch of forums here, and I ranted non-stop. I was never a YaoLiu, but I couldn't accept that the author killed the best character she could possibly have created.
Then, as the days went by - and other factors too -, I learnt to accept the ending for a few reasons. 1) If he hadn't died and had ended up with XY in a typical HE, he wouldn't have become as memorable and beloved as he's been since the novel was first written in 2013. People like tragic characters. The power of the what-if is bigger than the power of a simple happy ending. 2) Xiang Liu was never meant to XY. He was meant for the audience. The things he did weren't made known to her. Only the audience is privy to them. The epilogue was written so that the reader/audience could understand everything he did and why he did.
As HeadInTheClouds pointed out, there is a link to some really good fanfics that help cope with the ending and other feelings. Our AH wrote an excellent one, and it's in English.
This too shall pass :3
Despite having watched many dramas prior to this one, I also made this
MDL account for it.
You're probably not the only one who did this.
Without the decision he made for
himself throughout the narrative, Xiang Liu would be just another
typical character.
Yes. We love him for all the things that he did.
In a different universe, I thus hope that XY/XL wil
have their well-earned happy ending. That's why I want to read as many fanfiction
as I can to help me forget the sad conclusion and to calm my mind.
Fanfictions can be good for this. Use Chrome's built-in translation function to read the Chinese fanfictions that are linked on the first page of this thread. Zhihu have a lot of fanfictions for you to read. Hopefully, they will provide you with solace.

I want to share a beautiful and profound Chinese fanfiction. I have no opportunity to read all the chapters 😭 because unable to register on Chinese site, and have noone in China who would send me direct links, and I suffer BADLY 💔 because of that... but chapters I have read - in my humble opinion, it's worth your time and makes you to look at the characters with a fresh look and from a different angle. If someone here have access to Chinese sites, here it is:

I also can't download and log in to the app because it is not supported in my region. Being an international fan is so tough; we can't access most of the things. I wish I could read more XY and XL fanfiction in English; I miss them so badly😭
