Very Confusing

The thing that made me watch this drama is the presence of Yang Ting Dong as the main character. This drama tells the story of Liu Ruo Chen and Lu Fan Fan's love struggle to be together until they cross space and time. But for me who likes fantasy stories about Reincarnation, Turning back time, or moving worlds (parallel worlds), the concept of parallel worlds in this drama is very confusing.
In my opinion, there are several parallel worlds here. Not just two. However, the way it is presented is very confusing, as it only takes the perspective of the years 2012 and 2024. The audience is confused by the background in which world the scene is shown.
There are 2 assumptions in my opinion. First, parallel worlds can be influenced as a whole by every character in that world with Lu Fan Fan trying to fix some mistakes as an explorer and Gao Ru Wen trying to destroy him.
Second, with Lu Fan Fan and Gao Ru Wen as explorers, the future changes and forms various branches of new parallel worlds, like some short scenes at the end of each episode.
But from the 2 assumptions, there is no clarity about Gao Ru Wen's fate. Her motive as an antagonist is also quite confusing. The initial target is Liu Ruo Chen and ends up being Lu Fan Fan. What her purpose is in committing crimes is also unclear.
Even until the end of the story, I don't understand the age difference between Lu Fan Fan and Liu Ruo Chen. If Lu Fan Fan at the end of the story is the same person as little Lu Fan Fan, why doesn't Liu Ruo Chen age even with their age difference of almost 12 years? Even Lu Fan Fan's parents don't seem to age.
And at the end of the story, they think it's all just a dream. I thought all the stories would be clear at the end, but it's getting more confusing.
The acting of the cast is very good, maybe it would be even better if they had a better story concept.
For those who don't want to be confused, I don't recommend this drama.

I want a little special episode for the end of the story of Yue Qi and Yue Jinzhao.

This is my first time watching a Chinese historical drama. Honestly, I rarely watch historical dramas because most of what I find are stories about royal politics, crown princes, and the struggle for the throne. I decided to watch this drama because I wanted to see Xu Kai's acting.
In terms of the story, it is quite interesting, I like it, there are quite a lot of mysteries that make me curious.
The OST song, I really like it especially the opening song. Qi ji or Miracle by JS
The acting of the actors and actresses is very good. I even find it difficult to imagine how Xu Kai acts as 2 people whose personalities are quite opposite. Even often in one episode there is a conflict of emotions between the 2 roles. When Jinzhao is happy, Bian Luohan is sad or angry. If the scene was shot on the same day, Xu Kai is really great at managing emotions to play the 2 roles.
At the end of the story, I was confused about how Yue Qi could come back to life even though he exchanged his life for Jinzhao. I realized it when I replayed the video where Yin Xuwei exchanged his life. Yin Xuwei exchanged his life not only for Jinzhao's life but also for Yue Qi's life. The Longtan said that Yin Xuwei's short life span and with all the memories of life he had were enough to exchange the lives of 2 people but they would be short-lived. Finally Xuwei made a deal with the longtan what to do if later someone else exchanged their life for Jinzhao.
Here it can be ascertained that Xuwei had predicted Yue Qi's arrival to exchange Jinzhao. So it can be said that Yue Qi and Jinzhao can come back to life because of the exchange of Yin Xuwei and Yue Qi themselves.
But I'm a little dissatisfied with the ending of Qi and Jinzhao meeting. Here we don't know whether Qi is still Kun or not. And how they will realize that they are destined for each other. Maybe if there is a special episode to tell it, it will be very satisfying for the audience.
It's quite touching that 6 friends are in one frame at the ending. Although Ju Sifang is just a name told by the storytellers.
