Wow, I saw a comment here and it makes total sense. There's censorship in China regarding reincarnation; I don't know if it's been removed yet, but given the ending and how the special episode was edited, it makes perfect sense. Besides, I loved both endings; they're happy for me.
Guys, don't miss this drama! If you're wondering if it has a happy ending, the answer is yes, generally it does, and there's also a special episode, and a beautiful wedding too.
I am a bit confused with the comments, is it a Happy ending or Sad???! 😕Wuxia= SE?! WHY???!!
To be honest, I don't consider it a sad ending; it's more open-ended and leads to a happy one because he ends up with her, but in a different form, a spiritual one. Then we have a special episode that's a happy ending, so both endings are happy, sad but happy. It's xuanhuan, the genre of the drama.

I think he's a villain but not a villain at the same time. The good thing about this drama is that nobody is entirely good or bad because sometimes I understand him in a certain way, and at the same time I don't. I liked the character.
I'm happy that Miles delivered a great supporting role and is now finally getting his big-budget S/S+ drama as the lead; he's managing to shape his career the way he planned.
Wait, he dies?? I thought the novel ended with her giving up everything to be with him. If he dies, then they’ve…
In the novel, there are basically two endings, and in the drama they included a special episode, which is a happy ending, just as you're describing it. In episode 40, he dies after the wedding and at the end becomes a spirit and follows her – an open ending for you to decide if it's happy or sad. And the special, as I said, is happy.
Oh my god, I was sad about his death =d I got attached to him too.
