the novel has a sad ending, but it seems they changed the entire plot of the novel, almost as if it were a new story. So we'll only know if it will have a happy or a sad ending when it comes out 🥺
I just saw it's the same screenwriter as Ashes of Love, although this drama has a happy ending (because the novel has a happy ending) I'm afraid it'll follow a sad ending just because Chinese think sad endings are tragically beautiful.
the depth of the story never compares to period dramas.
