He did survive. IDK why most of the people didn't figure it out, Its all in the details. When they first rescued him, his expression was not a smiling one. Instead, his lips were in a normal resting position but in the car he was obviously smiling and the last one message where he said "I was not good enough these 10 years. sorry" that didn't come along with the string of messages that were sent as soon as he got connection in the car. It was sent separately indicating that he was alive in the car. After that message, you see the slight smile on Yiyao's face while waiting at the station and then it shows Qingyang smiling while still lying down. Later in the credits, it shows the both of them- Qingyang with his eyes open, smiling and ice on his coat and eyebrows and Yiyao smiling with unshed tears in her eyes. Also, the page flipped to the other side where its written "If I live, I'll marry her". Since he survived and is alive, they definitely married!

Its a happy ending only. Don't be fooled by the earlier comments. ENDING EXPLAINED:

this is a little late but he did survive. IDK why most of the people didn't figure it out, Its all in the details. When they first rescued him, his expression was not a smiling one.

Later in the credits, it shows the both of them- Qingyang with his eyes open, smiling and ice on his coat and his eyebrows and Yiyao smiling with unshed tears in her eyes. Also, like you said the page flipped to the other side where its wriiten "If I live, I'll marry her". Since he survived and is alive, they definitely married!

they got a happy ending!

exactly when everyone was saying this was a sad story I was so worried if one of them will die but thankfully he survived and they all were able to get to him and they both still loved each other to go to that extreme length for each other!

Yes, I've seen him in some older modern dramas and I wasn't a real fan of his acting sometimes. But here, he did really well and was decently expressive and had great chemistry with the FL and the fighting scenes were amazing too. So, overall this is one of the best performances that I've watched of his!

Yeah😂 he already seems annoying!

Ohh from the novel...I was thinking about how they haven't shown him in the previous episodes so I didn't understand what you were talking about!

what do u mean by u forgot?

both dramas and female lead roles are different but if you're comparing in terms of the plot and the female lead's character, ashes to crown(Chu Zhao/Chen Du Ling) is better but in terms of chemistry with Zhou Yiran, generation to generation(Cai Zhao/Bao Sheng An) is better!

Yhh it picks up pace again after ep15 so yes definitely

I feel like he looked better in generation to generation if we're not considering modern dramas but that's probably just me!

exactly!

for the chemisty to work well, both of them are responsible. I agree Mu Qingyan was a more fascinating character than Xie Yanlai especially in terms of chemistry and the way he carries himself but his position/ titles in both are different so I think its mostly due to the confidence and authority difference of the roles that makes them so different! Yet, you see his love and guilt and other expressions in his eyes. This is my first Chen Duling drama and she was really fascinating to watch till about ep 11 i think but after that I found her character a little annoying but im still in ep15 and saw that her character grew so much better by ep17 in another comment so yayy!!!

ohh yes if I have to call anything overhyped(meaning i personally didn't like it that much, then it has to be hidden love and pursuit of jade) but yes, our tastes are truly subjective. just cuz I like something so much doesn't mean the other person has to like it that well or at all. What I generally find an issue with is people who are newly watching cdramas and defending the 3 or so dramas that they have watched with their life and arguing about how they think its the best cdrama ever to people who have watched atleast 50-100 cdramas!

ikik i felt bored too as it got really slow paced from around ep15 to ep30 i guess. some people said that the scriptwriter changed or something like that and that's why we feel the sudden change but trust me it gets really better around ep 30 ish and you'll be in for a treat as you'll see a diff version of tianyao(a really cute one) for a few episodes and the ending and everything else is also pretty good!

ikr how can people forget about how he played the little dragon?

What that makes no sense?! Her brother cried when she left with Mu Qingyan on the Golden Peng because he thought that she's leaving the sect completely and marrying into the Li Sect(demon sect) since he's the chief of the demon sect and it makes the most sense to others. But for Mu Qingyan, he never wanted power like Zhengyang and also the other Nie clan chiefs. He just wanted to avenge the deaths of the few people who had cared for him (Mu Zhengming, his father and Uncle Chang from the Chang Fort). Since he had avenged their deaths, the only other thing he wanted to do was stay by Cai Zhao's side. Since Cai Zhao has always dreamed to be a manager of businesses at Luoying valley, he decided that he will marry into her family instead of the reverse and consequently settling down at Luoying valley itself. Thats why once he was fully cured of the poison and realised that he won't die because of the Disintegration method he used, they flew back to Luoying valley and the wedding was held there within a few days!

Nope watch the last episodes again.

I'm no self righteous know-it-all and I'm genuinely sorry if you're actually dyslexic. Yes, I didn't read the whole thread but even if you are dyslexic, it doesn't excuse your ignorance and saying there's a 'gaping' plot hole. If you didn't understand something, there's a better way for asking for clarification. If you genuinely asked a doubt without the unnecessary complaining, maybe you would have been answered nicely too. But whatever I don't wish to say anymore on the topic...
