All 3 love her and are willing to die for her. However they have their own destinies. Cang Xuan chose the throne and world peace over Xiao Yao. Xiang Liu chose to stay and fight to death with his comrades than to roam around the world with her. Only Jing is willing to give up his clan to be with her. He is willing to do anything for her happiness. The life she wanted was a simple life to roam the world and compiled the medical books. I love the ending.
