You are so lucky that you don't need to be left with that cliff hanger πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I was going insane having to wait…
I was going bonkers LOL πŸ˜‚ Because I hated that cliff hanger, omg.... The only thing that reassured me was the trailer to 47-49. So Bai Jue and Tian Qi have to be alright, but I was full on cursing Wu Huan and that bitch Jing Zhao when episode 46 end like that!!! (T^T). So it was a smart choice of you to wait until it's completed before watching.

Yess I absolutely love all these scenes you just described too! They were my favorite haha It's nice to see that…
This is why I wish we have a more extended scene between Bai Jue and Shang Gu after Bai Jue came back, since that ending didn't fulfill me, I wanted more (T^T). I was hoping they could at least have another kiss, as Shang Gu and Bai Jue (this time LOL) (T^T)

It's funny how it is Tian Qi being the first to sense it's Hong Ri, but then, it's understandable, since Tian Qi lived with Yuan Qi and the dog is there to accompany him/themπŸ˜‚. I also want a Season 2 with the same cast please! Hopefully, it's only for keeping it as a pet sake, and Hong Ri isn't really a dog hahaha πŸ˜‚ I want/prefer Hong Ri original form better.

finally someone who think the same way I do , I getting tired of reading hate comment on Bai ju , people are hating…
I am also tired of the Bai Jue hate... It's funny how the episodes are now out and completed in English Subs, but some of them can still hate him... Disheartening really.

And if they're honestly going to play with the 'who waited longer for their soulmate to return' card... Bai Jue waited 40,000 years for Shang Gu to be reborn again... Before all this, he was not certain that she could be reborn, but he put his belief in Shang Gu could be reborn. Imagine she couldn't be reborn, then he would have waited 40,000 years for nothing! Even if she were reborn, he already gave up the idea of being together with her in this life, because he's going to die anyway (take her place in this tribulation), that's why he kept things platonic between the time he spent with her as Bo Xuan....

And Shang Gu? Well, she waited 503 years without knowing if Bai Jue can return to her, but compared that to 40,000+ years for Bai Jue having to wait for Shang Gu to be reborn again, Shang Gu only waited 503 years, and after 503 years, she gets to have her happiness with Bai Jue right away, while Bai Jue waited 40,000+ years for Shang Gu to be reborn, and then having Bai Jue endured all this of being misunderstood, which he wouldn't need to have her misunderstood him, if Hou Chi did not leave Qing Chi Palace, since originally, he wanted to sacrifice himself silently...But it's not her fault for leaving Qingchi Palace, since if she didn't then there wouldn't even be a story to tell.

Bai Jue never wanted to hurt Hou Chi or Shang Gu. He only wanted her to live a carefree life, away from her responsibility and live happily. But in the end, the story needs to have angst to build on it, because that's Xianxia for you. It always happens. Bai Jue really have suffered a lot of setbacks because none of it went according to his plan when Hou Chi and Qing Mu meet, and them falling in love. People hate Bai Jue and only sees how much Hou Chi and Shang Gu suffers, but hello???? She's NOT the only one suffering, Bai Jue is too, just like Tian Qi said to Shang Gu: "He's been enduring this very painfully". And some of the things Shang Gu said to Bai Jue is very hurtful too, but people only just keep seeing that Bai Jue have hurted Shang Gu, and never tries to see the pain that he's enduring on his end...

Xu Kai really did do a good job in playing these emotions, which makes me love him as an actor more

She even showed that she would die with him rather than live without him. Some may argue that's y he didn't tell…
Thank you! At least someone who can see this from both sides! Honestly, some people who can't probably need to go and rewatch the beginning, and the part how Shang Gu sacrificed herself, and left Bai Jue alone to grief on his own.

In the end, respectively, they just do what they need to, to protect the Three Realms and protect the one they love, but for Shang Gu, she's following her destiny as Chief God to sacrifice herself(not for Bai Jue), and protecting the Three Realms, but for Bai Jue, he is protecting 'Shang Gu' from her destiny, by taking her place, and protecting the Three Realms.

.....Did you forget that Shang Gu did the same to Bai Jue back then? Bai Jue knew what is going to happen, he wants to prevent her from sacrificing herself, that is why he told her to leave with him... This is why he told Zhi Yang to not let Shang Gu know, because if she found out her destiny, she would sacrifice herself.... Did you forget all that? But what did Shang Gu did instead? She cruelly left him despite Bai Jue told her not to go through with it.

What people wants Bai Jue to do, is to let Shang Gu know about his plans, to tell her all this, so she knows what he's planning, but what's the point? What good will that do? He been through it in the past, if Shang Gu were to find out about his plans sooner, she would not have let Bai Jue take this sacrifice for her instead... And the whole thing will be a repeat of what happened in the past. Bai Jue don't want that to happen again.

And.... "The one who is left behind is usually the one who suffers the most"

Yes, this is usually the case, but if you're thinking that Bai Jue doesn't consider Shang Gu's feelings here when he made that decision to sacrifice himself for Shang Gu so she can stay alive, and looking at the whole "the one left behind is usually the one who suffers the most" then, I will try to put this into perspective for you.

(1) Back then, when Shang Gu decides to go through the tribulation of chaos by sacrificing herself, did she also considered how Bai Jue would feel at the end of all this? She did it anyway, despite Bai Jue told her not to, how do you think Bai Jue is feeling in that moment? I am not saying that she intended to hurt Bai Jue, but her decision ultimately did hurt Bai Jue back then. "The one who is left behind is usually the one who will have to suffer", back then Shang Gu did not think of the after result of the impact on Bai Jue when she was determined to sacrifice herself in the end for the safety of the three realms. So in the end, from her perspective she did it anyways knowing that Bai Jue will bear the pain of being the one to survive, and losing her. Try to backtrack to that part and how Bai Jue actually felt in that moment, before anyone goes and say "Bai Jue is cruel for doing this to Shang Gu......"

(2) At least for Bai Jue, he made sure and did all that he could, e.g. keeping things platonic when he was Bo Xuan with Hou Chi, telling her to not venture outside etc, he even, tells her that he will come back to her one day, to give her hope so she won't go out looking for him. Hou Chi and Qing Mu falling in love, was not supposed to happen, because of what happened Bai Jue had to be cold to her now (which is not what he wanted to), the reason he pushed her away(as we see now) is because he wanted her to stay out of the danger and he didn't want her to find out about what he's planning on his end, because he knows that if she found out she will stop him, ok, what I want to say is, in Bai Jue's case, he really did all he could, endure all the pain, to the point of being misunderstood by the one person (Shang Gu/Hou Chi) he loved whole heartedly and is doing this for, to the point that he didn't mind if she hates him, because to him, as long as she is alive at the end then that's what he wanted. No, he doesn't want her to suffer by being alive, that's why he went as far as to endure all the pain from having Shang Gu misunderstand him, to remove Shang Gu's memories so she doesn't have the memories of the time when they are together, so in Shang Gu's eyes, she only have the memories of the time when she doesn't know how Bai Jue felt for her, so to her it was just a one sided crush. She didn't know how Bai Jue felt for her because that part of her memories was removed from her. Bai Jue endures all this, and he did it for a reason, and justifiable too I might say. Before he goes and sacrifice himself, he told her to not think of him anymore, and to not dream of him anymore, he told her to take good care of herself, and that was his final good bye to her. He made sure that she is surrounded by the people who is like a family to her, those who care and love her, this was all before he sacrifice himself, so in the end, Bai Jue did what he could so that even if he's gone, Shang Gu can live on happily without ever knowing the truth. Because he cared, cared whether she's living happily or not after he's gone, thats also the reason why he endured so much to have her hate him and forget about him. To even have her said those hurtful words to him that she will never love him or hate him, they will be strangers and will never meet again....

So, really, try to see this from both sides here. In the end, Shang Gu will eventually find out the whole truth, but this is not Bai Jue's plan, because he didn't want her to find out if she is going to be sad and suffer from it.... otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to did all that he did to ensure she doesn't know... Why she found out the truth was not in his plan, it was 'Destiny' giving them a second chance for them to be happy, and since this is also considered a trial of their love, they will get their happy ending but honestly, in my opinion, between the two, and the whole "the one who is left behind is usually the one who hurts more", Shang Gu never go beyond and think that far, she only thought of accepting her responsibility and disregarding Bai Jue's feelings at the time, so it isn't only just on Bai Jue disregarding Shang Gu's feelings by not telling her the truth here, for Bai Jue's case, at least it serves a purpose where he endured all this just to make sure that Shang Gu forgets about him so she won't be burden or hurt when he's gone... really, try to understand that Bai Jue had it more hard in comparison, and he even waited longer for her than she on him(for their happy ending)...

Look, I love Shang Gu too, and but if someone is going to use that "the one who lives is the one who suffers", then this is honestly my answer to you. Don't always try to fault and blame everything on Bai Jue by just looking at Shang Gu's pov, she have made choices in which have hurted Bai Jue too back then, when she was determined to go along with her role as Chief God. And this needs to be reminded of if you go the "Bai Jue didn't consider her feelings" , "Bai Jue is cruel to leave her all alone in this world".... card on me...

And if you're honestly going to play who this 'who waited longer for their soulmate to return' card on me... Then Bai Jue waited 40,000 years for Shang Gu to be reborn again... Before all this, he was not certain that she could be reborn, but he put his belief in Shang Gu could be reborn. Even if she were reborn, he already gave up the idea of being together with her in this life, that's why he kept things platonic between the time he spent with her as Bo Xuan.... And Shang Gu? Well, she waited 503 years without knowing if Bai Jue can return to her, but compared that to 40,000+ years for Bai Jue having to wait for Hou Chi to be reborn again, Shang Gu only waited 503 years, and after 503 years, she gets to have her happiness with Bai Jue right away, while Bai Jue waited 40,000+ years for Shang Gu to be reborn, and then having Bai Jue endured all this of being misunderstood, which he wouldn't need to have her misunderstood him, if Hou Chi did not leave Qing Chi Palace, since originally, he wanted to sacrifice himself silently...

In the end, this is how the story is, but do NOT belittle how much Bai Jue suffered in this, he suffered more if you try to look at this from his perspective. And honestly, while Shang Gu was gone, Bai Jue showed me more grief in losing Shang Gu, than what Shang Gu failed to show me, 3 years later after the time skip. I am not saying she didn't miss Bai Jue, but to put it between the two comparison, I wish she show me her grief the same way in TMOPB when Bai Qian misses Ye Hua on her end....

What is the use of them both suffering? This is Xianxia for you. It happens, that's how the story is. If they don't suffer, then there will not be a touching love story to tell.

And.... No one wants to see the person you love dies. His sacrificial love for her comes from how he wants to…
Thank you for your input to this, and honestly, it is nice to see there are people who can understand Bai Jue and what he did/why he did what he did. I also resonate with what you said in your reply here, so for me, I can never hate Bai Jue, he will always have my love/respect. Qing Mu is a side to Bai Jue which we all want to see, so I understand the love on this character, I do love Qing Mu a lot too, but for me, Qing Mu is the side to Bai Jue, where he is more carefree to love, without his past memories and being tied back to his responsibilities.

Falling into your Smile is a great drama. It's less the angst and more light-hearted, and I am sure you will enjoy. I love Xu Kai's character in that one. So have fun watching!

I agree on your points. A lot of people just see the negativity on Bai Jue after he's awakened, but he did that…
If they tried to even put themselves in Bai Jue's shoes and look at what he's experienced and paid attention to the story, and see it from his perspective and not simply judge this from 'black and white', then they would know that what Bai Jue did was to ensure Hou Chi/Shang Gu isn't in too deep, and then later being hurt when that time comes i.e. when he sacrificed himself. There's no point for Bai Jue to tell Hou Chi he's Qing Mu, despite that he was, because it will not only complicate things, Hou Chi will not give up on him, and if she found out what he's planning to do, she will stop him, and that's not what Bai Jue want. This is why, everytime when Hou Chi and then later Shang Gu tries to dig into the truth, he have to be cold to her, because he's afraid of her finding out the truth and what he's planning. In other times, honestly, he never did go to the extremes to hurt her. But there are also times Shang Gu have said hurtful things to Bai Jue, like she even went as far as poisoning the wine and then said those hurtful things to Bai Jue... So honestly, it isn't her hurting alone, Bai Jue is too, if not he's enduring this silently on his end... I actually felt for him when Shang Gu poisoned the wine, because Bai Jue never expected she would, but she did....

Bai Jue knew that the short term bliss will lead to a long term suffering, because he's been through it, just up to the last moment before Shang Gu sacrificed herself, they had fun together, and they didn't want to say goodbye, but in the end, it doesn't change the fact that Shang Gu, cruelly left him and sacrificed herself, despite Bai Jue begged her not to. I don't blame Shang Gu back then, because I saw where she's coming from, but it doesn't change the fact that her decisions and how she ignored Bai Jue's feelings when he told her not to, have hurted him in the long run.

Bai Jue didn't want Hou Chi/Shang Gu to go through the same path he's been through, this is why he did all that. In the end, with how things turned out, he can only make adjustments to ensure Hou Chi/Shang Gu stay out of his plans, and away from the danger. This is all he could do, to ensure she won't have to know about what he's planning. So from Bai Jue's pov, I don't hate him, because I understand why he did all that.

P.S: Don't know if you knew, but Bo Xuan is Bai Jue behind a mask. Bai Jue was just using a different identity at the time, to take care of Hou Chi and raised her up.

Both Bai Jue and Qing Mu are loveable to me, and I will always love them, but if I have to choose between the two, it will be Bai Jue, because Bai Jue is the complete version whereas Qing Mu is a part of Bai Jue. But I do see them as the same person on my end, since they are the same. They both are indeed possessive/protective when it comes to the one they love, it shows it in their jealousy (but they are cute when they are jealous LOL) πŸ˜‚. But for Bai Jue, after he came back, I wouldn't really call him possessive since he went to great lengths to have her forget about him (so she won't be hurt in the long run), Bai Jue's sacrificial love sure really did touched me in the end (T^T). This is why to heal my heart for Bai Jue and Shang Gu scenes, I always go back and rewatch the beginning again from the God Realm back then, since they were sweet times I cherish before the tragedy happened T^T

I think getting Hong Ri back in that 'divine beast' form is too much to accompany Hou Chi as a 'pet' is probably why??? πŸ˜‚

But honestly, I hope Hong Ri is still that divine beast and not a dog, because I do love his original form better.

Yup! So much of these details to show how Bai Jue cared, and love Shang Gu back then. So much to show how Bai Jue respected Shang Gu's opinions, and take her opinion into consideration. The times, when he fixed her kite, the time when Shang Gu wanted to play kite, even Hong Ri said Bai Jue won't agree with it, but in the end, Bai Jue agreed to play kite with Shang Gu, since this is what she wanted. The part when Shang Gu wanted to watch stars, and Bai Jue took her to see the stars, and how normally, he wouldn't even let Zhi Yang hugged him in episode 1, despite they knew each other and grew up together, but Shang Gu gets to lean on his shoulder, gets to hug him and Bai Jue returning her hug.

Bai Jue is just someone who is awkward to opening up his feelings, because all these years, he have set up a barrier to not let anyone in, Hong Ri was the closest one to can be close to Bai Jue before Shang Gu came a long. Bai Jue only takes time to open up to her, but when he did, you really can see all these sweet side to Bai Jue, that he don't normally express with other people. Sweet side that is similar/can be similar to Qing Mu. Him being jealous of Tian Qi can be seen as one example. Him saying sweet words to praise Shang Gu (through the help of Hong Ri lol), which in the end, he ended up embarassing himself is similar to Qing Mu giving Hou Chi those flower medicine and in the end, Hou Chi laughed at him because those are flower medicine/herb instead.

And those thunder strikes that Bai Jue took for Shang Gu back then, but never told her about, how can anyone still see Bai Jue is cold and heartless is beyond my understanding...

I don't like it when people saying Qing Mu and Hou Chi is sweeter/better than Bai Jue and Shang Gu, sure they can have a preference, I mean, I love Qing Mu and Hou Chi too, but to me, the only reason Qing Mu and Hou Chi can get that kind of carefree love is because they both don't have memories of their past, and they don't have these responsibilities to tie them back, but for Bai Jue and Shang Gu, they do, even if they do, it doesn't mean they can't be like Qing Mu and Hou Chi, because both Qing Mu and Hou Chi can love each other that way is because they are extensions to Bai Jue and Shang Gu. A love they wanted to have with each other, but couldn't. This is why Gu Jun said to Qing Mu, that Qing Mu and Hou Chi being together makes up for Bai Jue and Shang Gu's regret... If the tragedy didn't happen back then, I don't doubt that Bai Jue and Shang Gu can love each other the same way Qing Mu and Hou Chi can, but as Bai Jue and Shang Gu instead, and them being the 'complete' version to Qing Mu and Hou Chi.

I understand if it takes a while for new comers to be into the drama, because it also took me a while to warm up, but while I was waiting for the episodes to air, I go back and rewatch from the beginning, and picked up some of the details I missed from my first watch. This is why, I felt it is good to rewatch from the beginning again, once you got into the story, since you can love/see things to a whole new level. For me honestly, I have rewatched this 5 times now. And I will always go back and rewatch the beginning again, because I truly cherish the time they have back then in the god realm before the tragedy occur. I love the character relationships, I love what I saw between Bai Jue and Shang Gu, not to mention the trio: Bai Jue, Tian Qi and Zhi Yang, so I will always go back and rewatch it.

People sure is missing out by fast forwarding those scenes IMO -__- (and it's annoying they did fast forward, but they are asking questions to those questions, when they would have gotten their answer if they watched it properly) -_-

Some of the hate comment maybe stem from feminism belief. 1. "That Bai Jue decided everything for Shanggu". Like…
I agree with what you said here! Which makes this all the more sad, because it just proves they can't look at both sides pov, and doesn't understand the context/story as a whole.

Remember in the God Realm back then, when Shang Gu was playing kite with Bai Jue, Bai Jue asked Shang Gu this question: "Shang Gu, if you can choose, you are willing to be an ordinary god, or a chief god who shoulders the lives of the Three Realms?", at that time, he told her that he wanted to hear her sincere answer to this question, and it's not a test or something. Shang Gu's reply to that was: "I was born as the Chief God of Chaos. These lives of the Three Realms, are my responsibilities for being born into this world. In that case, no matter how many responsibilities I have on my shoulders, I'm willing to take them". And then Bai Jue told her that he will do his best to help her take over the God Realm asap.

You know, I always thought if she chose to be an ordinary god, then would it have turned out differently? But the reply Shang Gu gave Bai Jue shows her character development, how she have matured and have taken her responsibility as Chief God seriously on her end. That was her wish.

Bai Jue said he will do his best to help her fulfil that wish, but in the end, it is sad because the destiny of being a Chief God turned out that way. In the end, Bai Jue blamed no one but himself because he was the one who pushed her to destiny sooner, and he blamed himself for all this, but the reason he wanted her to be Chief God asap, was because that was her wish. Bai Jue would never have done it, if he knew that is the destiny of her being Chief God, but in the end, he took the blame/regret for this all.. Bai Jue really did respect Shang Gu as a person on his end, he asked her for her opinion, and take her idea/response into consideration. This was also evident with the whole "Feng Clan" and her choosing her own divine beast by her side. He respected her choice.

Bai Jue in the end, did not endure all this just to make Shang Gu suffer. He knows that getting into a relationship will only be a short time bliss, but by the time he is going to sacrifice himself, it will only hurt her more, because, he's been through it, and there's that saying: "The more you love, the more it will hurt later". So in Bai Jue's eyes, he wanted to end it to avoid her being hurt later if she's in too deep. I see people blaming everything on Bai Jue, but they don't really try to consider the story as a whole, and seeing it from his sides of perspectives. They blamed Bai Jue for hurting Shang Gu and leaving her all alone, but then, back then, when Shang Gu decides to sacrifice herself, she have also hurted him in that process, because he was left alone griefing for her, despite Bai Jue begged her to not go through with it. He can't do anything but just watch her body turned to ashes/disintegrating like that.

Honestly to me, if people really go back and watch the beginning again, they will know just how much Bai Jue care for Shang Gu and loved her, although he is not open about his feelings, but he's someone that takes a bit of time, he was ready to confess to her, if the tragedy didn't happen, even before confessing, he was still sweet to her. I also believe without a doubt that after all this tribulation comes to an end, they will be able to be more open and free to love each other, without having to worry about the tribulation of chaos, and they can go back to continuing their love, which they never got the chance to, due to the tragic events that followed, when Shang Gu sacrificed herself.

I know right, it really makes me wonder when those people made those comments saying Bai Jue was cold and heartless, and I am like "????" Did they forget??? Bai Jue wasn't like that at all. If they go back and watch the beginning again, they will know. There are really cute/sweet moments coming from Bai Jue from back then. He is yes, restrained, and not as open about his feelings, but you can see he really cares for her. I can still feel his sweet love when it comes to her, this is why to me, I honestly don't have trouble seeing Bai Jue showing more 'Qing Mu' traits, because he's shown me he could back then. To me, I felt like how Qing Mu can be like that towards Hou Chi, are what Bai Jue could have shown me towards Shang Gu, if the tragedy didn't happen 60,000 years ago. Because, just the short time they spent together, he already showed me he could, and Qing Mu feelings for Hou Chi, are an extension to Bai Jue's love for Shang Gu anyway. It's just that both Qing Mu and Hou Chi are more carefree to love each other, but it doesn't mean Bai Jue and Shang Gu can't be sweet like Qing Mu and Hou Chi can. So I am really annoyed at some of those comments (personally) because they keep comparing saying Qing Mu and Hou Chi is sweet/better and forgetting back in the God Realm, how much Bai Jue have shown his sweet side when it comes to Shang Gu back then too.

In episode 39 when Gu Jun and Bai Jue had that talk, it also explained that Bai Jue spent 40,000 years to put together her spiritual sense, which was still in the form of an 'egg-shape', and she haven't been born yet, and Bai Jue spent half of his power to draw the god-reincarnation spell, so she can be reborn, it was also revealed that it was his last chance, if Shang Gu is not born this time(on that day), then it will disappear the next day, and when that happens, Bai Jue literally wasted all that for nothing. Can you imagine the feeling of uncertainty, and how Bai Jue must have felt back then, not knowing, yet he tried all he could plus him having to wait 40,000 years to get the result/answer he wanted. All he have was his belief in Shang Gu. Talk about how much he put into this, believing that Shang Gu will be reborn again, without knowing the certainty that she will. Lucky for him, Shang Gu was reborn again.

So, looking at this information given, I don't think Hou Chi is 60,000 years old, because at the beginning of the second life, there was a time skip to 60,000 years later, and then we saw Hou Chi grown up.

I think she's 20,000 years old, because Bai Jue spent 40,000 years to put together her spiritual sense, so she can be reborn again, and he spent 10,000 years by Hou Chi side under the identity as "Bo Xuan", and for the next 10,000 years, Bo Xuan disappeared because he needs to cultivate the power of Chaos. That's when she and Qing Mu met (although it was never in Bai Jue's original intention for them to meet and fall in love, because it complicated things for him). While, it was never in his intention for Qing Mu and Hou Chi to happen, but I can see that he really cherish the time they spent together, even when he have to act indifferent about it in front of Hou Chi/Shang Gu. I actually find that sad to be honest, but I know why he did it.

Bai Jue was the one who named her "Hou Chi", he could have named her "Shang Gu" again, but he chose to name her "Hou Chi", because he wants her to live this life of hers, away from her destiny as Chief God, that's why he sealed her God Veins, because that was Shang Gu's wish before she sacrificed herself, in her next life, she don't wish to be a god. Bai Jue only respected her wish for that. You can literally see that he completely gave up the chance to be with her again(in this life). That's why he kept things platonic between Hou Chi and Bo Xuan, because he knows that he's going to die eventually. He gave her the bracelet, because he knows that she couldn't cultivate properly, but that bracelet can protect her in times of need. To him, he only wanted her to be safely protected inside Qing Chi Palace. To live a care free life. These were his plans to have her safely protected away from her destiny, and then him just 'silently sacrificing himself' for her instead.

All this hurt would have been avoided if she stayed in Qing Chi Palace and not venture out, but then ofcourse it will not go that way, since all Xianxia will have these kind of angst that pulls at our heart and will hurt us... But what I am trying to say is, it was never in Bai Jue's intentions to hurt Hou Chi/Shang Gu... Remember as Bo Xuan, he was so kind to Hou Chi back then.... So him, having to be cold, and did what he did is because these were last minute changes and honestly, it isn't only her hurting, but he was hurting too....He didn't want to do this to her. Do you think it pleases him to see her suffer/hurt like this? He can't directly comfort her, so he can only use 'indirect ways' to comfort her and minimise her pain. For me, I actually feel that Bai Jue hurt more to have to do this to her. Some of the things Hou Chi/Shang Gu said to him really does hurt him. You can see it in his expression, and just like Tian Qi said to Shang Gu: "He's been enduring this 'very painfully'". No one understands the pain Bai Jue felt, aside from Bai Jue himself, and if Tian Qi knows, then he really do understand Bai Jue. Well, I understand the pain he felt, that's why I felt sorry for him, and don't hate him, because I know why he did what he did.

Really, a good Xianxia, will always have these type of angst to hurt the viewers, that's why it follows on into a touching story, happy ending... BUT if some of you can't see that he was also hurting to do this to her, then well, we sure see this very differently in terms of characters/story. For me personally, I am happy they got that happy ending, because they deserve it, even though, I wish it was a more fulfilling happy ending, after all they've been through. Oh well... I will take them hugging/in each other's embrace over nothing at all.

Me too! The bromance between Bai Jue and Tian Qi was what healed my heart when Bai Jue was being misunderstood…
I love the part when Tian Qi told Shang Gu, when she recovered her memories, telling her that Bai Jue never broke off his love for her, he just didn't want her to feel sad (when he's gone), that's why he's been hiding the truth from her, but he's been enduring this 'very painfully' on his end T^T (Seriously, no one knows how painful Bai Jue have been enduring on his end, aside from Bai Jue himself, and if Tian Qi knows, then, it shows that he really did understand him).

Bai Jue and Tian Qi teaming up was nice to see, to take down Wu Huan, so as much as other people who don't appreciate the final fight against Wu Huan, I am glad to see both Bai Jue and Tian Qi was there to help Shang Gu fight against Wu Huan, because it was an epic/interesting battle, not to mentioned I am personally glad to see Tian Qi back to his decent power level to be able to go up against Wu Huan like that.
