Its kind of ironic. *SPOILERS* She has issues with her mother for abandoning her but ironically got a man who broke her trust, abandoned his clan, responsibilities & child of his first wife. Jing was never a sane choice. Its clear from fact, she refused to marry him for 43yrs. Infact, they never shared "Lover's bug", a highly specified plot device in whole story.
No matter how much burdened Xiangliu & Cangxuan, are cause of their duty being General & Emperor, their love for Xiaoyao was still strong. Basically if she ever shared 'Lovers bug' with Jing then she have been died the moment on his marriage with FFYY and whole story would've ended before it even started.
As tags says *Spoilers* Its a Reverse-Harem, means all male leads loves her. She ends up with 2nd ML Jing after 3rd ML XiangLiu sacrificed his 2 lives to save her (XiangLiu also saved Jing from sea monster) and later died on battlefield. She gets bittersweet end as her soulmate XiangLiu dies. So it doesn't matter who she endup in end. There's reason for story being titled 'LOST YOU FOREVER' It signifies CangXuan losing Xiaoyao, while Xiaoyao losing XiangLiu forever. Epilogue is dedicated to XiangLiu.
Tong Hua (author/producer) highly specified importance of 'Lover's Bug' throughout story. Shaman King told "This bug can be only shared by true lovers. If lovers betrays each other, then bug will turn into 'Heartbreak bug', and will kill them". Infact, *Spoiler* Xiaoyao only died cause of enemy attack & poison but never cause of bug, proves Xiaoyao & Xiang Liu never stopped loving each other. If Xiaoyao ever shared 'Lovers bug' with Tushanjing then she would've died the moment, he married FFYY, and whole story would've ended before it even started. Their love wasn't genuine. Also, she didn’t marry Tushanjing for 43 yrs. on excuse of medicine studies.
Btw. Just for clarification. Originally novel have 3 main Mlds. Novel is divided in 3 volumes, referring to 3 Mlds.
Volume 1. Cang Xuan (Zhuan Xu) Volume 2. Tushanjing Volume 3. Xiang Liu
So, Xiang Liu is actually originally one of the 3 main Mlds of novel. He's 'Special Character' (different from support & guest role) in drama. He effortlessly caught our hearts even in shortest moment. Considering how majorities of viewers/readers likes Xiang Liu (same as novel) says alot. Novel is heavy on yearning for lost love. Author herself prefers title, 'Eternally Yearning for You'. No matter how much burdened Xiang Liu & Cang Xuan were cause of their duty as General & Emperor, their love for Xiaoyao was still strong, while Tushanjing or Ysq, he's still same man, *Spoiler* who betrayed Xiaoyao on name of filial piety and abandoned his clan, its responsibilities on his son in excuse to follow her. Title 'Zhang Xiang Si' holds strong meaning to capable characters of Xiao Yao, Xiang Liu & Cang Xuan, while 'Epilogue' is dedicated to Xiang Liu.

Important Reminder: Its a 'CENSORED-ADAPTATION' means its vastly different from an actual bl dramas. Noticeably, as tags refers, its an action, comedy & politics drama. 'CENSORED-ADAPTATION' actually are made with strict restrictions. So, cast & crew worked on a refined script, which adheres to rules & regulations. Infact, its family friendly & can be watched simply just like any other normal regular ancient dramas. Hopefully, we get to see it soon.
永不相负 What is desired is wholehearted devotion and never betraying each other.
In such deep layered, character driven story, author masterfully pointed out [*Spoiler*] Xiaoyao actually have Xiangliu's blood running through her veins. She got it while Xiangliu took care of her for 37 yrs. That's how, she gains some power, breathe under water & enjoy watching sea creatures (which she always enjoyed with Xiangliu). Xiaoyao & Xiangliu are already together by body, soul & mind.
"Love makes you Strong" that's what Xiangliu did. He made sure Xiaoyao is powerful to save herself in any situations, without depending on anyone. Xiangliu died being loyal to his love & duty, even in death remains victorious forever. ❤️
Can someone spoil it and tell me FL ends up with whom?
[SPOILER] She ends with 2nd ML Tushanjing after 3rd ML XiangLiu saved him from sea monster & saved Xiaoyao by sacrificing his another life when she died again by poisoning. She gets a bittersweet end as her soulmate XiangLiu dies.
Its a 'Reverse-Harem' drama with 4 MLs. centered around theme of "Yearning for Lost Love". Hence, its title "Zhang Xiang Si" aka "Lost You Forever". CangXuan lost Xiaoyao while Xiaoyao lost XiangLiu forever. Epilogue is dedicated to XiangLiu.

'Filter' & 'Under the Skin 2' listed among 3 works as 'Excellent Network Audiovisual Works🏅" of 2025. Congratulations to cast & crew of both dramas.
Same. I realized, its a depthful story. Author foreshadowed from start as Xiaoyao, XiangLiu & Cangxuan are hardworking,…
First of all its 'Xiao Yao', not 'Jiaoyao'. Only Wanyi character 'ZhuanXu' changed in 'CangXuan'. No one bashing anyone, except some TushanJing fans trying to make issues again as can't digest, that viewers naturally appreciates others more than him. Are you Tara,? What you are trying to clarify?. No one is perfect and neither is Jing.
Its actually facts, [*Spoilers*] (1.) Tushanjing made XiaoYao promise to wait 15 yrs. not love other man (but XY already in love with XL, proven by Lover's bug) Jing bound XY in idiotic promise of 15 yrs. is not sweet.
(2.) Tushanjing fails to solve his family problems & break his engagement with FFYY. His incompetency is not praise worthy.
(3.) XiaoYao delays to marry Tushanjing for 43yrs. as he betrayed her trust, by marrying FFYY on name of 'filiel piety'. Its nothing honorable.
(4.) Tushanjing and XiaoYao don't share 'Lover bug'. Proves that there love is questionable.
(5.) XiaoYao & Xiangliu saved Tushanjing often. Even CangXuan guards & FFYY saved his lives from dangers. That's why he's even alive in end.
(6.) Tushanjing left his clan, its responsibilities on his son mourning for his mother, while tainted XiaoYao image in society as second woman. There's nothing noble about it.
So, doesn't matter how much you try to mislead anyone by twisting words to show Jing as saint. It won't change, what story is all about as hinted by author by its heartwrenching title 'Zhang Xiang Si' aka 'Lost You Forever'. Its a fantasy story. If we take ending as real ending for these characters, then it would indeed be very bleak, but TongHua made a lot of Weibo posts hinted that the story continues. Here's one of them:
桐华tonghua: 用这个问题作为开场吧, 其实, 每个故事的结束都并不是那些人物的真正的结局, 在这个问题上, 我是个很不切实际的 人, 我总觉得故事只是他们生命的一个段落, 即使我的故事结束了, 他们的生活依旧在另外一个空间继续, 所以, 每个故事都不可能有真正的结局的。 Tong Hua: "In fact, the conclusion of every story is not the real ending for those characters. I always feel that the story is just a chapter in their lives. Even though my story has ended, their lives continue in another space, so, it’s not possible for every story to have a true ending." She obviously hinted, that each characters doesn't have same ending like story in reality, means hardworking, strong, capable characters like XiaoYao, XiangLiu and CangXuan got better ending in real life.
Same. I realized, its a depthful story. Author foreshadowed from start as Xiaoyao, XiangLiu & Cangxuan are hardworking,…
What's loyalty in (Spoiler) TushanJing marrying FFYY on excuse of 'filial piety'? How did he wait? TushanJing was even alive in end, cause of Xiaoyao & Xiangliu. Infact, Cangxuan guards are more useful, who pull his body out of fire during Xiaoyao maze attack. He betrayed & broke Xiaoyao's trust. I agree with Yangzi. Even Fenglong is better partner than him. TushanJing's shallow promises & vain kindness meant nothing. TushanJing fails cause of his own insecurities & incompetency. She refused to marry TushanJing for 43yrs on excuse of medicine studies. Their love is questionable as they never shared 'Lovers bug'. Upon that author never certified story as 'happy ending'. No matter how many fake accounts you Jing fans make to white wash him as saint will never change any facts. Majority of national & international, viewers/readers genuinely likes Xiangliu same as novel, says a lot.
Simply, TangQi is a mature, sensible, straightforward, hardworking man, who falls in love with same soul in her each transformations. Jianci nailed it. Its baffling, how disguised haters, tries to humiliate a critically acclaimed professional multi-talented, award winner artist, who broke many records, (in both ancient/modern genres) cause of his brilliant performances. I hope haters spent their free time focusing on their favorites and stop harassing Jianci, stop disturbing genuine viewers/fans enjoy watching it & stop mislead viewers, who have yet to see it.
See, as I start this drama, I have seen a ton of opinions on who XY should have ended up with. Ngl, at the start…
Same. I realized, its a depthful story. Author foreshadowed from start as Xiaoyao, XiangLiu & Cangxuan are hardworking, strong, capable characters throughout story while Jing same as beggar, behaves pitifully, in end, lost his wealth & worth cause of his insecurities & incompetency. Its understandable, why XiangLiu beautifully remains both author & fans favorites same as novel.
I m here for Tushan Jing. After watching this drama more than 3 times I can't get over from Tushan Jing. (It was…
No offence, but why there's need of CangXuan & XiangLiu if TushanJing was enough? Same as novel, Jing basically clings around her mostly, moping throughout whole story in self pity. Jing lost his chance the moment, he broke his promises, XY's trust, betrayed her by marrying Ffyy on excuse of filial piety. Upon that, even abandoned her kid, clan, its responsibilities, on excuse to follow XY. Author said, "XY end choice reflects her psychological issues". So, Jing isn't a sane choice.
Views differs via different viewers. You can have your opinion but its fishy as you made account recently on 16 May 2025. Considering how majority of viewers/readers genuinely likes XL, says alot. Seeing CX is cousin, while XL died, Yangzi herself denies Jing as suitable life partner in reality. We shouldn't forget that its a fantasy story. Try to imagine yourself with someone like Jing, who's rich, incompetent, insecure, clings to you, doubts your character, bound you in false promises, fails to solve family affairs, fails as responsible lover, husband and father.
No matter how much burdened Xiangliu & Cangxuan, are cause of their duty being General & Emperor, their love for Xiaoyao was still strong. Basically if she ever shared 'Lovers bug' with Jing then she have been died the moment on his marriage with FFYY and whole story would've ended before it even started.
