Yes totally. As we re-watch is there is a lot of cute moment and meaningful promises I rediscovered.
For example : I noticed that Zigu was very well put when she arrive in great Yan. She had a big crown and a lot of jewellery. But as soon as she married the emperor she lost all her elegance. And didn't even ware a crown. She was a little pitiful after the marriage.

The writers know wuxia / xianxia fans like sad endings so they provided one for them.
But the true ending is a happy ending when they survive. Why do I say that?
Because, the symbol representing them is the "undying flower". They spoke about next life all along during the drama.
It was to announce the survival and the new encounter in the next life.

Taking in account all those elements. I could not call this ending messy on because everything was announced before with clues.

Excerpt from my review on that subject :

- The forshadowing of the happy ending during the all show :
I believe in an happy ending. The undying flower is a very important element of the plot. It is showcased in the opening credit several times. More than a symbol of resilience and strength. The leads talk about their next life all the time. More than that, MRJH and ML almost died several times during the show. This was done to prepare the viewers to see their next life via reincarnation. Now that we know that. It is not difficult to see that the last scenes of the drama, tell the viewers that they were reborn and meet again in a different time and space.

Thank you. I will continue re-watching it as well. I am finishing my take on the third episode. I just re-watched it. It was very interesting and beautiful.
Happy that my opinion helps you.
I know there is a lot of bashing, but I like the show. What can I do? ^^

(^_^)

Who said Mei Lin died during the first snow? We did not see her die. We know the dragon flower blooms in the snow. And they were alive during the first snow.It think they sent someone to harvest it and cure themself.
And 20 years later Mei Lin had already died. But we don't know when.
The happy ending is in their next life.

In the book they cure themself and live happily ever after.

(^_^) yes ML could have not fall into it in the first place.
It is an ancient hollywood cliché to let a lead disappear because of quicksand.

I do too. <3

Me too, I don't like break-ups. I would like them to unite against adversity. We will see.

It seems there is 31 episode and not 10. This is great the story will evolve.
Yes I agree. hope the lead will not break up at some point.
Now the mother start the fight, but the situation will be worst when the father will join the fight.

"Like, what was even the point?"
Well, I think that, what the writers wanted to say is :

1) About the impact of parenting on the children's life and choices.
MRJH went from the morbid personnality of the "ghost general" to someone who fought to stay alive ( he was poisoned as well as Mei Lin) and tried to cure his loved one from a lethal threat, from the moment he found the hidden message from the Empress De Jia on her embroided screen. There, he knew that his mother always loved him and trusted him, as the well educated and kind boy she raised.
In this very moment, "The Master of Shadow Works" desapeared as his resentment vanished.
All he had to do left was continue his quest to overturn the Qinzhou case and redeem the reputation of the "Weibei Army" to convince his father of his innocence by forcing him to re-open the case.
His mother's postum message cuddled his heart and he was able to open up his heart to love Mei Lin.

On the contrary Crown Prince Murong Xuan Lie, lost his mother since his birth. Thus the crooked personality he developed despite being raised by the same parent as Prince Jing.

The importance of the parental education is a golden nugget of the show.

2) All misdeed cannont be redeemed, because yes, life is unfair .
Yes, it is unfair that the Momai poison he chose was indeed lethal.
He did his best to neutralize it but once done some actions have consequences, like in real life.
Same as the Crown Prince Murong Xuan Lie's demise. In real life, people with higher mobility are not treated the same way the commoners are.
This criminal against humanity's death was unfair, yes.
And like you said the list of unfair moments goes on.

3) People can change for the better.
I appreciated watching the leads coming from a world where the were seeking death, to their fight for survivals. While making justice and saving each other every time.
Those dark individuals could find balance in the end and even have a happy ending in their next life.

This is why I like this drama despite its flaws. There is a morals side to "Kill me Love me"

I also liked the drama very much despite its flaws. It kept me interested and MRJH is a redeemable character not the dark weido of the novel .

A lot of unfairness, yes.

This is true that I wasn't expected an ending talking about next life. but the spoke about it so much. I shouch have understood this.

Yes, the acting is marvellous.

Yes, I agree. Like in life, rich people don't get punished.
Excerp from my review. I liked the drama though

- The unfair death of Crown Prince Murong Xuanlie :
His death was too peaceful. CP was a criminal against humanity with more than 100.000 casualties. This is not fair that he died drinking wedding wine with Luo Mei, his wife-to-be. It is even annoying. Easthetically the scene is beautiful, but how annoying it is.
I was so pissed. But like in real life. People with higher mobility don't face the same justice *sigh*
And unfotunately, this is cast-iron truth.
Thinking about it, I think that, this is the message the writers wanted to convey.

ok thank you :)

It is her corpse but she doesn't seem dead.

Both. HE and after that SE.

Yin Que met Mei Lin when he was a teenager? I did not when became hostage. Now I understand better why she made such impact on him.

Indeed she was trying to make the mother go berserk. She was throwing a fit.
