I really hate open ended ambiguous endings

The story was fairly good up to last two minutes of the end. Let me take that back. Besides the crappy last couple of ambiguous minutes, there was also no explanation of the FL's back story. If the original novel was this bad, it is a wonder it was developed into a drama.

With Scarlett Heart, both the Chinese and Korean dramas, similar story of the FL taking over the life of another individual, the audience at least had closure with the ML experiencing a little karma for choosing politics over love, but leaving a window of hope for the couple in the ML's next incarnation.

Now I will get off my soap box to say the leads, was well as the side characters, were engaging. They all had great chemistry. The antagonists had no redeeming qualities. One might pity Quin Luan just a little, because she constantly had Wu's accolades rubbed in face, but she always had an alternate choice. The rest of the antagonists were pathetic losers who were driven by ugly obsessions.

Due to the poor ending, I will not be rewatching this drama.
