I wouldn’t call it a happy ending. Yes, Fan Yue and Bai Shuo survived — but at what cost? Throughout the entire story, they fought for the people they loved, protected their disciples, lost friends, and carried the weight of countless sacrifices. By the time they finally reached the end, almost everyone they held dear was gone.

Characters like Mu Jiu, Tian Huo, Cang Shan, and Fu Ling weren’t just side characters — they were family, comrades, the emotional anchors of the story. Watching each of them fall, one after the other, made it harder and harder to hope for any kind of joy in the ending. And when it finally came… it wasn’t joy that greeted us. It was silence. Peace, yes — but peace after devastation. A kind of stillness that doesn’t comfort you, it just reminds you of who’s missing.

Visually and emotionally, the ending was beautiful. The reunion scene in the Moon Hidden Sea was tender and moving. Fan Yue’s return felt earned. Bai Shuo’s strength was undeniable. But emotionally? It still felt painfully lonely. Like surviving a storm only to realize you're the last one left standing. It wasn't a celebration. It was a soft, sad goodbye.

So no, for me, this wasn’t a happy ending. It was a beautiful tragedy — one that lingers long after the screen fades to black.

I genuinely loved this drama. The characters were deep, the world was rich, and the emotional weight stayed with me long after the final episode. It's the kind of story that breaks you a little — but it also makes you feel everything.

I highly recommend it, especially if you love stories that explore love, loss, loyalty, and sacrifice. But would I rewatch it multiple times? Honestly… probably not. It hurt too much. It's the kind of drama I’ll carry with me, but revisit only when I’m ready. And maybe, that’s what makes it so unforgettable.
