I've watched the first four episodes and I'm already hooked. Ever since I saw Chen Du Ling in VoS, I've loved…
OMG r u my twin?! like v have the same opinion... i have seen CDL in many dramas before but she became my fav in VoS and FoF... more than FoF, she became my fav in VoS... and the OST is in PEAK!!!
I finally finished this drama after stopping at 25 and rewatching it to end. The moment I got to ep28 end I knew🥺,…
So the answer for your questions(acc to me) 1. The plan was for JL to travel 50 years into the past through the space-time rift and prevent the chain of events that allowed LWY to become connected to Jiu Ying's power. The result was not a simple rewind where everyone returned to an earlier point. Instead, a new timeline/reality was created: Jiu Ying's influence was removed. Several characters who died in the original timeline survived. Wu Shiguang became the Dragon Deity naturally. Many events happened differently because Lu Wuyi's original existence was erased from that timeline. So the ending is closer to a timeline rewrite than a standard time reset. 2. The finale strongly implies that Li Jie is searching for Ji Ling. Even after reality changes, Li Jie still hears or senses Ji Ling's presence. The final scenes suggest that his attachment and loyalty survived the timeline rewrite, even though many memories and events changed. 3. Probably no. The strongest interpretation is that Ji Ling and Lu Wuyi escaped into a different world or alternate reality after becoming trapped in the space-time rift. 4. About 50 years.
