Imo, the ending—just like Till the End of the Moon—can be interpreted in different ways by different audience. After 2 weeks of contemplation, reading Azure’s analysis finally brought everything together for me.

It all made sense, especially when connected with the original poster before filming and the producer’s emphasis on the Taiping Guangji during early promo of SLY - also before filming started: Tale of the fox and dragon.
For me it is the closure I needed for Tang Li Ci. For me it also tied together with him waiting for Ye Mo whom re-borned as mortal to experience 7 human emotion and finally meet TLC again. He said to Ye MO we will meet again.

I was in the hurry yest, will polish it later if possible.

I feel sorry that you’ve become the constant target of one particular hater. Her jealousy is obvious—she did not get the script nor grasps the depth of this drama, beyond shipping. Meanwhile, you’ve helped us appreciate the true beauty of SLY.

I compiled SLY many achievements during airing on discussion so it does not get lost.

In Russia, Bcs Tang Li Ci’s reading the Three Character Classic, the book has sold out 3 times, with resellers pricing copies at ten times the original. Once reserved for students of Chinese culture, this classic book has now become a popular (Fr Russian fans post). SLY really deserve it’s 1st CPOP IP for 2026.

Luo Yunxi’s fan club in Russia counts thousands of members.

IVI Russian online platform also certified SLY as their top 1 C Drama in 2025.

The Shui Long Yin Concert in Shanghai this Sunday isn’t a 10,000-seat event—it’s a massive 18,000-seat venue. With 14,000 tickets already sold out and the remaining tickets on sale today, this is nothing short of phenomenal.

In my opinion, 10,000 felt ambitious. But 18,000? This proves one thing: the platform and producers are happy, and the results have exceeded all expectations.

The SLY concert producer is renowned for working with China’s top singers. I’m excited and hoping they’ll open a livestream option—paid or even free—so more international fans can watch.

Note: the last drama concert of this scale was The Untamed in 2019, with a 20,000-seat venue, It’s been 6 years since the last huge drama concert

Hats off to Azure! Your writing on SLY is so insightful that, in my opinion, the C audience as well as the producer would be amazed at the depth of international fans’ understanding of SLY. You’ve given every drama watcher clarity on the full plot of SLY. Most importantly, I finally grasped the beautiful ending—and it moved me to tears reading this

This deserves wide promotion—on X, Reddit, Weibo, Douban, XHS, tagging it in comments on YT (Migu, Huace, Mango TV), and beyond. May it reach the C platforms and audiences it deserves. Your effort should be recognized far beyond MDL. LYX has always said his greatest joy is seeing audiences discuss the drama and his character.

P.S. Another piece by Patitoruani from Reddit (that I posted the link before) has started to circulate among SLY fans on Weibo, and this certainly needs to be there too.

It’s interesting that the drama shows the court is indifferent to who the real Princess is, as long as it serves its purpose and influence over marital art world. As for XFT, her ending is fitting—at least she found liberation.

For TLC, Azure wrote in the discussion:
“The concept of the fox dragon comes from Records of the Taiping Era (太平广记:奇事记), a collection of mostly supernatural short stories. The white fox often descended Mt. Li and caused havoc in ordinary people's lives. One day, while washing in the lake, it transformed into a dragon and flew toward Heaven, implying that a mortal being finally becomes a saint.
The last scene in the drama was of a water dragon fleeing to heaven, meaning he has ascended to the true heavens, silently guarding the world. Ye Mo is incarnated as a mortal in the Mortal Realm with a mother and father who love him.”

The fox dragon with Tang Li Ci as immortal is the official Shui Long Yin poster. I love the idea that Tang Li Ci became immortal and ascended to heaven instead of a simple 'reset'."

Your post should be seen in China....I even think about opening a reddit acc if no one posting them LOL

I really enjoyed reading yours. I hope more people come to appreciate that WoF is far more than just a wuxia drama with a xianxia twist. The series is full of foreshadowing and hidden details, and you can really see the producer’s dedication in weaving Buddhism and ancient Chinese culture into the story, making it stand out from the rest. Sadly, many drama watchers struggle when faced with complex plots and overlook the cultural richness embedded in the show. Personally, that’s exactly what I love most—the depth, the intricacy, and the beauty of the culture infused throughout the drama.

I'm praying. But no other location announced so far, even with 100.000 pp on danmai waiting to get ticket. I got the feeling, they want to see how this concert performing first then announce the next one. But how many actor can perform (don't many of them will start filming in January?). I also think they might resort to just selling live broadcast performance to these 100Kpp + international audience and be done with it? Bcs organizing a lot of actor together several times is not easy.

Tomorrow they will release the final batch of tickets you can try to fight the other 100.000 pp 🤭I'm manifesting they will do Singapore concert. But it might be difficult with everyone might join new drama? Sigh pls Singapore concert.....

He only worked briefly as a ballet teacher (and cited a very high salary in that role), but he also performed as the lead dancer in the Macao handover performance in front of the Chinese president and world leaders.

Ah, I forgot they speak cantonese in Macao.

SLY is nominated as CPOP wave 2026 by CCTV (so far the only drama nomination for 2026)
This is a huge honor esp it Just aired not even 2 months ago 👏

Will it win 🥇 like Till the end of the moon in 2023-2024?

CPOP wave is C Government recognized top influential overseas IP reach.
The only drama selected from 23-25 are Ttoetm and Joy of Life. Others are Labubu, Black myth wukong game, Honors of King.

After graduating as a ballet dancer, LYX worked as a ballet teacher in Macau. One day, while accompanying friends to an idol audition, he was unexpectedly asked to join. Since singing was his main hobby, he gave it a try, though his idol career didn’t take off.
During his idol time he had a music video of his own song. A producer saw it and offered him acting job. During his first drama scene, LYX was nervous and even scolded by the director, but that moment became the catalyst for his growth. He took acting and dubbing classes, learned from seniors, and steadily improved to the Luo Yunxi we know now.
Until now in interviews LYX often expresses gratitude to that director, crediting him for sparking his transformation. They have since collaborated on two more projects and become friend.
It is the Ballet world loss because he was multiple award winning Ballet dancer.

I'm really tired of this stupid fandom wars, they will of course come here too. The length they go even insulting their own endorsement company🤯, how old are these people? Can they focus on their own fav 🙄?
We already had to do that before during airing when another fandom downvoting IMDB and MDL in an hour by hundreds of acc now another one coming.....🤦
Let karma come their way .....

Let me add Luo yunxi character contribution to the merchandise sales is Top 1 and Top 2 historical ranking.

Finished 1 season only, no season 2. I'm also not happy with IA having more than 1 season. Must wait 2 years.

I think you can through scalper but 5-7x more expensive and there is risk too.
