@Alila Nguyen,

Do you understand chinese here? Because if you don’t you should wait for the subs to understand this better. I understand chinese that much to pick up what was said.... In the flashback episode, Tian Gu Xing (his name back then) was being punished because he failed to protect the stone that he was meant to protect (because at that time Dragon King took it), so the "heavenly emperor" punished them both, he was willing to accept the punishment for failing to protect the stone, and when the heavenly lord asked Xiao Qing if she accept her fault in this, and she replied back saying that "We are just two people who mutually love each other, whats wrong with that?" And then the "heavenly emperor" said to them as punishment "from now on you two cant be together", and THAT'S a curse because the word the writers used the word 咒 (meaning curse) and in ep 36, it was said as 血咒 (blood curse), so, that's why they can't be together. And that's why it was recorded that they can't be together, and that's why when they kissed, something will happened to them..... Tian Gu Xing in his past would have known about this curse because what the "heavenly emperor" said was a curse that was placed on them.

Xue Qing Xun in the present wouldn't have known the details of it since his memories was forgotten, but when he found out, he wanted to break that curse on his end because he wants to be together with Qing Qing. In the end, from what I understood is that the "heavenly emperor" saw how both of them can die for each other, Xiao Qing died for Tian Gu Xing back then (when she took the final lightning stroke) for him and in the present, Xue Qing Xun would rather rebound his attack resulting to him dying to protect her lead to the curse being broken in the end. You can say this is like a test by the heavenly emperor but this was also a cursed placed on them by the heavenly emperor, and I am sure that Tian Gu Xing isn't stupid to not be able to deduce it, that's why it was even recorded in the book of fate lololol. He knows its a curse but he didn't know how to break that curse. He knows that the curse is he and Qing Qing can't be together because of what the heavenly emperor said to them both "from now on you can't be together", in the end the blood curse was broken because they are both willing to die for each other, proving their love. So Xue Qing Xun when he lost his memories didn't know at first it was a curse, but when he kissed Qing Qing and was hit by lightning and Qing Qing became unconscious, and the "heavenly emperor" warning, he started to suspect and when he saw that missing page that is his fate, he realized it was a curse and wanted to break that curse. XQX not knowing about this curse at first because he lost his memories of the past but his past self 'Tian Gu Xing' knows.

Yes, you don't go tell someone that you curse them lol, but the tone and the way the "heavenly emperor" said it adding on to his arrogance, anyone who have a brain would know that was a cursed placed on them, otherwise it wouldn't have been recorded in the book of fate.

In the end of that flashback it doesn't state what happened afterwards, it was said that he used up his powers to send Xiao Qing soul into that white vortex so she can be reborn, and then it was said that he lost his memories, and his name changed to "Xue Qing Xun", and became the Lord of Luofeng Pavillion (for 3000 years). You can say he drank the Lethe Tea that made him forget about the past but whether it was his choice or not is up to you to interpret it, since the end of the flashback only gives you that much. I like to believe that if he had a choice he wouldn't want to forget about her since Xiao Qing told him to not forget about her when she "died" the first time when she was injured by that demon. However if he chose to forget and take that as a way of punishing himself and lose his memories to feel love so he can do his job properly, I can understand his perspective too.

@Alila Nguyen,

FYI, it was confirmed in the final episode that their curse was broken, so thats NOT an assumption lol. So no more curse, they are free to love, get married etc. The curse IS broken! Not sure why you have to say it was an assumption though when it was made clear in the final episode -_- and yes a curse can be broken, I have seen this in other stories before lol

@Alila Nguyen,

If he forgot about his memories than he wouldn't know about it at first. By the time he found out he wants to find ways to break the curse, but it doesn't matter in the end, their curse is lifted and they can finally love each other freely and have their happy ending.

@MyShootingStar,

That’s good that you enjoyed this drama, for me, this drama isn’t the worst, because I did enjoy it to a certain extent (thanks to the secondary characters and second pairing), I also enjoyed the scenes between Xue Qing Xuan and Longyan as well, I like how they became friends where they share something similar, in wanting to protect the one they love

But I won’t say this drama is the best either, I guess for me, I am okay with it. I can pick out the scenes I really like, and the scenes I wish was done better. Like, there are certainly rooms for improvement, but that’s how I see it, if you ignore these little faults, the drama on its own is enjoyable if you have something you love about it.  
P.S: I am not sure if you have seen Three Lives Three Worlds aka Eternal Love, but if you haven’t you can check that one out since that is Xianxia genre and is definitely a happy ending.

@MyShootingStar,

I see, well, if that's a trend that you've been seeing than you can avoid it in the future or something.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if thats because of China censorship since it needs to stay within the guideline or something. The ones I've seen that is demon/immortal/spiritual beast and their human lover also end tragically, and I think that's to carry out the theme "humans and demons/immortals are forbidden"... lame I know, I watched one Hong Kong tv series called Dragon Love and that was a tragic ending for my fav pair, but in comparing between the two ending they have respectively (Dragon Love, the one I watched) and Miss the Dragon, the ending for the main pair in Miss the Dragon is better and more hopeful at least.

But whether you want to give this drama: Miss the Dragon a try or not is up to you.

@MyShootingStar,

Its something to do with Longyan defying the heavens or something... all heavenly emperors are like that (not surprising though..)

As for Xianxia genres, they're not all like that, because Three Lives three worlds Ten Miles Peach Blossom is a happy ending as well as its spin off Eternal love of Dream has a happy ending. So it depends on which one you watch really. And if you happen to end up liking the second pairing in this, then good for you, you dont have to worry since they got their happy ending.

I can't really answer you on that since like I said, the main pair ending is subject to an individual interpretation.

If a happy ending to you is them getting married, then, unfortunately they didn't, but did they end up together? Yes they did, even though for me personally I don't see that as a happy ending because, I wanted a more happier and conclusive ending for them. Their ending to me is satisfactory at best. That ending can also be an open ending for them, but at least they are depicted to be able to finally be together.

You don't have to always focus on the main pairing because the second pairing story is loveable too (imo their story, was better than the main pair, most fans like that pair too, and their ending, I can tell you end on a happy note for them).

In the end it's up to you whether you want to watch this or not. For me, I went into this for the main pair story, but in the end, I ended up loving the second pair over the main pair, but that's my preference.

@Noway,

Omg IKR!!! I really hated how XQX was controlled by Mingge like that omg.... I wish that didn't happen...but I can't fault XQX for falling into his control that easily since he was already poisoned from the tea that Mingge gave to QQ to help him recover quicker. So he was poisoned gradually :( I was like its only the remaining episodes, but the writers couldn't let me see some more XQX and QQ in the remaining episodes?? T_T they already didn't get that many scenes and now that have to happen to XQX T_T. I do liked that he tried to break free for a sec there but then omg the angst.

Aside from the second couple, I also love the friendship between XQX and Longyan, so I didn't enjoy they were fighting against each other, and I hate that XQX was forced to fight against him because of Mingge's control, since I know he wouldn't have done that if he's in control.

But at least in the end he was able to help him by saving both him and FL into his mirror so they had their chance to be together. That was better than seeing the Main pairing vaporized like that.

Thank god the Second couple got their Happy ending and their cursed is lifted where they can be together now, otherwise if they killed them off, then this drama will be in the trash by fans who sticked with this drama for them. Oh I didn't know that this CP wasn't in the game but considering that possibility that they're not and was created in the drama than it shows that they do love them more looking at the ending. I think maybe they have to save this drama by having something positive for the fans, I guess? :D

@Noway, Yeah what you said there pretty much elaborated how I felt about XQX character and why this pairing is more appealing than the main pairing. With how the writers made it feel like for the main pairing, Longyan (to me) felt like he loved Liu Ying and she have always been "Liuying" to him through all those life times, thats why in her forth life time, when he accidentally called her "Liuying" she replied, and told him shes not "Liuying", and he said, "that's right, you're not Liuying now... and adding on to the fact that she have different personality each life time, it makes it hard to find it appealing, like they lack that consistency for me, whereas the second pairing is more consistent in this area, its like a love that continues on from their past, which the main pairing seems to lack imo.

But either way, I am happy that the second couple is portrayed differently than the main pairing, otherwise I probably wouldn't have loved them as much as I do now :D

@Noway, That's as far as I know as well, and I was wondering why there was always a 'disruption' when they were about to kiss before all this, and I was thinking that something 'might happen' when they kissed and I was right.

I think even if he remembers her, depending on how he would handle the situation, he can still watch over her at a distance, and not be with her in order to protect her, but, I guess this will be similar to the main pair story in that sense, so in the end, how this all played out, I saw this 'erasing memories' part served a purpose to enable them to have a fresh start, and with how I saw it, even if he had forgotten about her, his feelings for her is still there. It just never got awaken, until he met her again. That's why he never really punish her harshly, and when she do something that goes against him, he can't really stay mad at her, and he was even jealous of the relationship she had with Longyan (lol, his jealousy is cute xD), another example is when he painted the peach flower on her forehead at first, and then she got upset about it, his heart felt pain to see her that way, showing that it was an existing feelings he had for her that slowly being awaken again, so yeah, even if he have chosen to forget about her, willingly in order to protect her (in the long run), the fact that he forgot about his past memories of her, his feelings for her was never erased, but was just hidden (locked away) inside him all these years, I do like that part, and how he questioned the Dragon King (Longyan) about love, and how he's doing all this for the woman he loves, Liu Ying, because I find that these two are similar, when it comes to their love for the woman, and will do anything to protect them, yet different at the same time. This is also why I love the developments for Xue Qing Xun's character, because he went from someone who doesn't understand what it is to love someone, or to protect something you love(due to his forgotten memories), to someone who understood these. So it was some nice developments there for his character IMO (but this is how I see it).

Honestly for me, I am glad they were released all at once, since I was worried about Xue Qian Xun and my favourite pair (Xue Qian Xun and Qing Qing), I hate what Mingge Xingjun) did to him, and if I didn't got spoilers thinking the second pair got a happy ending before I watched it (lol), I would have seriously felt so heart broken the moment he "died". Luckily they got their happy ending at least, since they deserve that happy ending (imo)

The second couple got their happy ending.

As for the main pairing ending, it's subject to an individual feelings to how you perceive that ending.

That's a nice idea. Can someone do a fanfic on this, I will so read it.

Not sure if we will get a side story for them or not, if we are lucky to get one then I hope it's an extension to this ending and gives a more happier conclusive ending for these two. If it is going to end tragically than I rather NOT see that sequel on my end :(

Personally, I rather want to believe that he didn't want to forget about her willingly, because when Xiao Qing(her past self) died the first time, because she was hurt by that demon, before she died she told him to not forget about her.

But either way, I did love what it showed me when he saw her again, like despite he forgot about her, yet seeing her again, made him remember vague flashes of his past (which showed me he really deeply loved her if it can triggered his forgotten memories there).

I am glad they were able to break their curse and be together in the end, since they deserved that happy ending after being seperated for over 1000 years imo

That ending for the main pairing is more like an open ending. And its subjective to how an individual sees it. For me I wish the main pairing was better than what we got, but that is how I feel about that ending for them (main pair).

And theres no LT if that's what you're worried about.

I can recommend you some with happy endings if you want hahahah

Hmm, not sure which chinese dramas you've seen, but I can assure you other chinese dramas have a happy ending and a more conclusive one so not all chinese dramas have bad endings

From what I could understand was that when Longyan "died" the first time and when he told her, that he can no longer wait for her anymore(it was his last words to her before he "dies"), as Mingge Xingjun was trying to absorb her soul for himself, and then she sacrificed herself and gave her soul to him (Longyan) to revive him.

And at the end when Longyan killed Mingge Xingjun(serves him right) he went back to her and then the "heavenly emperor" said he(Longyan) will be punished........ and then came the lightning strike. It was going to destroy/shattered both him (Longyan) and along with her soul which is now with him, but Xue Qing Xun saved both their soul (from being shattered) inside his "mirror thingy" that allows them to be together in a different plain(some place else), because if he didnt, then they both will be gone forever.

To me, thats a sad ending for them, but some fans take that as a happy ending because he can finally accompany her without having to separate from her for eternity. I think fans can take that like an open ending for them, that shes in her primordial state and later she will be revived again and then they can really be together (in their human form). It's at least better then the main pair vaporizing and not being together at all though.

P.S. with that all said, please dont hate on the second pairing here because they deserve a happy ending too.

Now that I think about it, Xue Qian Xun and Qing Qing have to be a part and separated for 1000+ years just to get that happy ending, and I'm glad it's a happy ending for them, where their curse is broken, because they definitely deserves to be happy.

But Xue Qian Xun back story made me think that he never died back then, it was said that he used up his powers to save the past Xiao Qing(now Qing Qing) from falling into the black vortex(i think if she did, her soul will be shattered and wont be able to be reborn), and then it was said afterwards, his past memories was erased(forgotten), and his 'name changed to' Xue Qian Xun (Lord of Luofeng Pavillion).

I hope that XQX and QQ will get their happy ending, because they've been through so much in their past, don't want them to suffer again. But it is nice to know that I am not the only one who is watching it for them
