I accidentally came across a spoiler on YT about how the story all wraps up

They've always been very close and been through a lot together. Like she said in either ep.30 or 31, she said to him, "I don't even know who you are anymore." something like that
He's hidden this other side of him from her. People do that all the time. Just when you think you know them, some event in life, especially life changing event, another side of them comes out that you never seen before.

I don't think anyone know until you brought it up here

just be prepared for some tissues just in case, there is surprise ending

Wu Zhen carries within her the very enemy Mei Zhuyu has long sought to destroy. This painful truth is why she distances herself from him—it’s an act of protection, not rejection. Back in the underground demon city, Mei Zhuyu doesn’t chase after her. Instead, he’s left standing alone, stunned and conflicted. The woman he loves is bound to the evil he’s sworn to fight. That moment of stillness—everyone else gone, and him frozen in thought—speaks volumes.

It took him time to process the heartbreak and the choices he must make.

The drama gives his character very limited screen time, often cutting off emotional scenes abruptly to shift to another character or storyline. That makes Xu Kai’s performance all the more impressive—he conveys so much with so little.

There's a crucial piece of information you are missing when judging her emotional state and her actions.

To me, Xu Kai can show how a character feels without changing his facial expression. Even when his face stays calm, I can still sense the emotion through the way he moves, looks, or carries himself. He doesn’t need big reactions to make you feel something—his acting is quiet but powerful, in my opinion.

he can express emotions without making face gestures

later, you'll know why they are building them up

Is body swapping used in other Chinese fantasy dramas? This is the first I've heard of it.

there's a conflict that is complicated, and so finally he has heart to heart talk but then it cut off end of ep31

this drama has a really nice tempo it's light-hearted, fun, entertaining yet has serious undertone

oh gosh you shouldn't spoil that, I saw it but it's huge surprise, so I didn't want to tell

Although Xu Kai screen time again is limited, but Xu Kai's acting is superb end of Ep 31, the closer the camera gets to his face, the emotions explode. Camera can never get too close to his face even without makeup.
He's resorted to desperate means which shows up in his expressions, but yet still maintains same calm demeanor. Normally Mei Zhuyu has less expressions but at this point, he's desperate.

comedy is superb

Xu Kai's pose or posture the way he stands is so prefect for Mei Zhuyu, Every time I see it, I think that's Mei Zhuyu.

they do it later when she's pregnant. in the novel, mei zhuyu didn't want to change back so his wife didn't have to suffer

I don't remember. If I come across it again, I'll let you know.

she actually acted like him

I'm back to this is not xianxia, not wuxia. It's more folklore tales.
