HMH's farewell message to his character Zhao Yuan Zhou. It was such a beautiful and heartfelt letter that I had…
"There's always a breeze or two in the mortal world that can send me on beautiful dreams for 18,000 miles."
This trip in the mortal world is a journey that I, Zhao Yuanzhou, had to make.
A one-word spell: Dream. Now, let me tell you a story...
In the Great Wilderness, everyone knows me, and everyone sees me as the Great Demon that has committed every evil deed, deserving of death. But I made the unexpected choice to enter the fray with sworn enemies, old friends, and new acquaintances, embarking on a new path investigating cases and hunting demons together. To voluntarily sign a contract that decided my death date... most people would think that is an ill-omened beginning. But to me it was a relief, to finally be free of the prison that was of my own making...
Fate bound our demon hunting team together, and as we solved cases together, we got to know each other's true hearts. Some amongst us conquered might with gentleness, some amongst us were full of righteousness, some soft-hearted despite our tough exterior, some are lively troublemakers, some holding on to a true heart. Such a motley crew coming together and the only thing they seemed to be able to agree on was: that I wasn't to be trusted. They know me as Zhao Yuanzhou, but they can't forget all the evil I did as a Great Demon. But it didn't matter since I didn't hold much hope for myself as well, so all these other emotions didn't mean anything to me.
If you asked why I came here, I would tell you it's because I am the Great Demon Zhu Yan, forced to bear the burden of being born as a "vessel". I lost control and made an unredeemable mistake, and only death can eliminate the pain in my heart. Living is torture; Death is the gift of relief. However, I also wanted to give myself a chance at redemption, a boat rowing against the current.
Along the way, the demon hunting team encountered many complicated cases, but we worked hand in hand to solve them and the blades that we had pointed towards each other were turned towards the outside. Sworn enemies became comrades in arms, and as we took one step closer to saving the world, we also uncovered wounds that had already scarred over. As we saw each other's past wounds more clearly, we saw the past laughter that was used to hide the pain. Those who had a responsibility to protect found themselves unable to, those bearing the burdens of upholding the family's honour were just trapped in a dream, and those should have grown up with no worries found their world turned upside down overnight...
If you have a nightmare, someone might comfort you by saying don't worry, everything that happens in a dream is inverted. But what if it's a beautiful dream? Everything I'd experienced felt so real to me. As I journeyed on, I began to get lost in the dream. I started to wonder, what was I going to do if I was the one who lost everyone else in the end? I have to confess, I began to feel reluctant to part with everyone...
The lonely boat travels across the bitter seas, but friendship caused waves to rise in a heart that had died. Along the way, we mended each other bit by bit. What I have experienced is too beautiful for the other "me" to ever understand. The wish to enjoy the passing seasons and happiness of an ordinary life held great hidden strength, so that even though I already knew the ending, I did not give up the struggle. Because of all of you, I was driven not just by my thoughts of despair, but by my desire to protect all of you.
Be it the Great Wilderness or the mortal realm, everything must return to its original path. If you grieve over the fact that Zhu Yan did not get a chance to choose, then I will tell you that it was only a dream. If you are looking forward to embarking on a new journey with Zhao Yuanzhou's companions, then you have to wake up to hear the rest of the story. By the way, don't forget what I said – in the future, when it rains, that means I've come to accompany you. Turn the boat around and think of it as a big dream. On the other shore, someone is searching for me. A one-word spell: Wake.
The days I spent with Zhu Yan/Zhao Yuanzhou, confining myself to my shell and experiencing a life seeking an inevitable end, but I also felt the redemption in the countdown. For an actor, this was a very special creative process. The director's help, encouragement, and trust played a huge role in letting me experience this unique and meaningful role of Zhao Yuanzhou. He gave me a lot of room to interpret the one and only Zhao Yuanzhou, and with this support, I was able to accompany Zhao Yuanzhou through this journey, and finally entrust him to you, the audience, with peace of mind.
Also unforgettable were our companions who were with us every step of the way, and the process of everyone coming together in the creative process is very enjoyable, very satisfying, very worthwhile, and I will remember those scenes vividly. I will miss the Great Wilderness, the Demon Hunting Bureau, and the Kunlun Mountains... places where we left our joys and sorrows. Thanks to Wen Xiao, Xiao Zhuo-daren, Pei Sijing, Xiao Jiu, Ying Lei – because of our little demon hunting squad, Zhao Yuanzhou left knowing he was loved. Thank you to my ride-or-die Li Lun, we didn't forget our oath to protect the Great Wilderness. Thank you to my dear friend Zhao Wan'er, and Grandpa Yingzhao, who gave Yuanzhou the rare warmth of familial affection! Last but not least, I would like to thank all the crew behind the scenes for their hard work over the past few months. I have woken up from the dream, but my heart will always remember.
Signed, Zhu Yan/Zhao Yuanzhou, with remorse but no regrets

"...By the way, don't forget what I said – in the future, when it rains, that means I've come to accompany you. Turn the boat around and think of it as a big dream. On the other shore, someone is searching for me. A one-word spell: Wake" I'm not cryin- 😭😭😭
So, I just thought of sharing about my in-depth insight about who the real 'HERO' is in this drama. These are…
Beautifully explained. The story started with ZYZ and ended with him. Throughout this journey, he was driven not just by his thoughts of despair but by his desire to protect them all in the end.
So I think his jealousy got him so intrigued about ZYZ's fav ppl that he had to capture WX to satisfy his curiosity.…
Omg when you said "trauma bonded" it made me tear up a bit bcuz yes they became like family thru that gruesome filming they rly relied on each other and I was happy to see they managed to have some fun in the bts bcuz those emotional scenes are so taxing and exhausting so yea that sort of make up for the filming indeed 😭 And nw if you can't find it..I used my imagination of them throwing these snowballs at GJM 🤣 lol kinda satisfying thinking about it 🤣🤣 I did see some wrap ups with LL, Neo, cheng xiao but not about BJ and TJR yet..I'll prob look for them on YT. Thanks for the brief summary of their wrap up, that makes me feel I didn't completely miss out 😭
Love y'all ( most ❧❧❧❧) I will still be here for some days I guess before I move on : (
I totally get you it's like so many things to do but so little time..lol 😭 dw tho take the time you need...working on that profile was a lot of work...you're gonna have to do trial and error with all these functions lmaoo it was a headache at first ngl😭 Once u get the hang of it it's a breeze haha I honestly created a Tumblr account just for these GIFs lmao 🤣 It helped me with my profile and I go on there everytime to save some nice drama GIFs that I like 🤣 But yea lemme add you lol Edit: I tried finding you..it said "Not a soul by that name" lmao 🤣😭 Mine is "mahsien" with a white tree pp lol
I like the ring of "Wenzhuo" lol sounds nicee ❤️ and she always has him wrapped around her fingers lmaoo😂…
Tell me about it! We got robbed so bad 😭 He had plenty of good quality material to use and max it out to 40 EP but nooo this creature just had to go and make ppl suffer and even not releasing OST versions from the drama and instrumental OSTs I'm so done with him. It's like he's robbing us of chances to heal after the drama ended...😭 like the way we watched the drama and suffered wasn't enough for him..
Sammee! Return after a long dream ost had a female vocal in the background "ahh ahh" they used that in the mv…
We should lit just have a dart board with his pic on there and throw darts at him..like the drama suffering wasn't enough now he had to go and sabotage our OST releases..😭
