OMG... thank you for sharing this ... it gave me goosebumbs.. and once more it enforced my believes this drama is about XL loosing XY forever... she will end up with someone else, not because Jung is the true love, but because XL painfully allows XY to be with someone who might be a better "girlfriend material"..
I have not invested in reading the novel, but I will soon, but I was reading some sections from the Epilogue and it is my understanding that is a XL POV from his last letter /message to XY, is it correct?
an Epilogue , in literature, is normally a statement of the whole book, like the final say which normally summarise the reason for the book to exist, isn't it? please correct me if I am saying something wrong as I am not a writer myself...
so from the Epilogue, i gather this love story is about XL losing XY....
No, the epilogue is the final battle and his final thoughts before dying. Here’s an excerpt:
[Remembering our first meeting in Qing Shui Town, you were all shits and giggles, a mouth full of made up crap.
But the only thing you said that was true was: I have no ability to take care of myself, no one to rely on, and nowhere to go.
After over tens years of teaching you archery, you now have the ability to take care of yourself.
You don't need to use your own body to protect someone you treasure when danger is around. The right man for you, you now have someone to rely on, you don't have to be all alone anymore with solitude as your companion.
The sky is vast and oceans deep, you now have a place to go and don't need to be chased by people and be without a place to call home.
Xiang Liu thought to himself: Xiao Yao, from now on I can no longer stand watch to protect over you, you have to take good care of yourself, wishing you a lifetime of worry free happiness.]
