Finally able to fully process my thoughts and feeling about the ending.imo, it wasn’t a BE but rather a Hopeful…
1. The upbeat background music and LSS smiling while talking to her daughter at Mohe River 2. TTJ isn’t completely lost, a fragment of his soul is in the Heart Guarding Scale, and that fragment of soul is also smiling contently 3. The drama purposely choose to flash forward to 500 years instead of 1000 years like in the novel. Going by this LSS would still be in the process of collecting his souls, so it made sense at this point in time TTJ hadn’t reincarnated yet!
imo the the choice of timing and the bgm and the smile made my heart feel less heavy, that “yes some things will take time but it’s ok we’ll get there eventually”
Open Ending with hopeful note is fitting for this tragic story where characters have so many conflicting feelings, love and hate. Forgiveness and Revenge. Hope and Despair. For entire drama, writers balancing two different side of spectrum. If ending go extreme good or bad, it will ruined the entire message of the story.
Completely Happy ending will ruined it for me. Bad ending also will ruin it and make everything futile.
I say TTEOTM producer is brave, they go against all odds. Spending the most $$ for CGI - checkedSpending the most…
They have all my respect for their bravery, willing to try against all odds. They only lacking was many scenes were taken off making the editing a little messy. Wish the censorship rules were announce after this was released. I don’t mind another 16 episodes. I felt this is too short which took about a month to complete.
Sad to see the rate went down. Hopefully will go up again. Thinking of the 7 past XanXia drama I had watched,…

Spending the most $$ for CGI - checked Spending the most $$ for costume - Checked Building Hengyang Building for 100M RMB - Checked Showing a crazy non human like unapologetic hostage prince TTJ - Checked and I know I get higher rating for HE but Yeah I'm going to go with BE - ALSO CHECKED
Well I have to give them tons of applaud for their braveness.

I have to re-watch the last 20mins of the last ep….to reconcile.
The emotions from LYX and BL were spot on. Re-watching it, I had to admit that LSS although she didn’t confess, her emotions showed her love for TTJ and TTJ understands. As many pointed out what’s important to him is the safety of the three realms and LSS. So he doesn’t need the world to like him or honor his deed. That’s the most lovable part of TTJ’s character, when he decided, he will see through it, and it’s true to who he is. And this drama ends with LSS has to live with only TTJ’s memory, I doubt he can come back, but it’s fine as she definitely have regrets but also love. There I can reconcile.
About Leo's emotionless in portraying Ancient Demon God reminds me about Tai Sui, the demon god in LBFD. His calmness…
Leo understanding of his character is very surprising. From sev interviews, book author, director, script writer and producer have all spoken that he often surprised them with his own understanding of the character. That's why each one of his role is breathing and alive.
For me it was a happy open eding.
For others it was a sad open ending.
To be on safe side lets call it a OPEN ENDING.
