In Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Sword and Beloved, Wangquan Fugui and Qingtong’s love doesn’t get a happy ending in the ordinary sense, but it becomes something eternal and soul-deep.
---
💔 The Tragic Part
As their love grows, Fugui’s clan — the Wangquan family — and the human alliance discover Qingtong’s true identity as a spirit. Loving her is seen as the greatest betrayal because humans and spirits are at war.
Fugui refuses to kill her and instead turns against his own people to protect her. But their enemies are too strong. Qingtong sacrifices herself to save Fugui, binding him with her silk to keep him alive even as her spirit begins to fade.
Before she disappears, she tells him that in another life, when there’s no hatred between humans and spirits, she’ll find him again — and they can finally be together. 🕸️💞

⚔️ What Happens to Fugui
After losing her, Fugui is devastated. He abandons everything — the clan, his sword, his title — and becomes a wandering protector who guards both humans and spirits. He dedicates his life to ending the cycle of hate that destroyed their love.
His journey later inspires others to question the divide between humans and spirits. So even though they didn’t live happily ever after in this lifetime, their love changes the world around them.
---
🌸 Symbolic Ending
In the final scenes (and hinted future arcs from the manhua/anime), a white spider silk drifts around Fugui, symbolizing that Qingtong’s spirit is still with him — watching over him until they reunite in another life.
So… no, they don’t end up together physically, but spiritually and emotionally, they never separate. It’s that kind of love that goes beyond life and death — very tragic, very beautiful.
I saw the preview and i'm so confused Why is Fugui getting punished like that? What happened?😭 I'm tired of watching cheng yi bleed😭😭 I know that hong ye went through a lot but punishing his own child is not the right choice🤦🏻♀️😭
every time yunxi or bailu is mentioned somewhere i run back to this page :((( now WOF is airing and i can't help myself wanting another drama with them as leads again
