Spoiler alert

I just want to comment on the amazing story, dialogue, acting, and music that delivered such an emotionally touching rollercoaster ride for me. Some notable moments in episode 42:

1) The whole scene between Kong Ming wailing over Luo Luo, and then Zheng Yu saving him leaving behind their childhood toy...Wang Zi Teng as Kong Ming proved that he can act

2) Arrgh, Lin Hao Qing's indirect confession to YunHe as he "died" on her sword...how can one man still look so fine with red veins all over his face...and all the flashbacks...and of course the most romantic music ever playing in the background plus it was now LHQ's turn to fall off the cliff :D

3) Towards the end, Christy Guo stayed amazingly maniacally in character as Shunde!3) YunHe's certainty in both of them, how certain she was that this time, there was no need to hide, no matter what they will encounter in the future, they will be able to face it together. I felt her faith even though I was crying. Then ChangYi's beautiful teary face, followed by the signature tender pearl transfer kiss, with of course the song #如你所想 (As You Wish) that starts with "Hey" playing. Then their beautiful words of promises to each other...By then, I was bawling away

4) From the viewpoint of someone who read the novel, I am happy that they did not kill off TianJun, and instead have his character play an important role in getting rid of Shunde.

5) Happy ending for almost everyone - with some people getting revived or didn't die,
- Li Shu, being a Lu Wu descendant with 9 lives was again able to return to San Yue. Their "reunion" was sweet...
- Even Fei Lian and Lei Zhi (the two deities who always accompanied Tian Jun) were able to come back
- Luo luo who didn't die in the first place. She and Kong Ming also provided some comic relief for the audience as well
- Lin Hao Qing who didn't really die. Just disappeared into depths of the cliff. If ChangYi can survive, I guess LHQ can too. Haha!
- LHQ who found his true self and freedom finally (a little tropey how he ended up like his father in a wheelchair and SiYu pushing him like QingShu used to do for Lin Can Lang).

6) The ending - well I felt that it was glossed over but the dialogue between ChangYi and YunHe was lovely. I do believe that it was a REAL happy ending even without the help of external verification. It was really just bad editing. Unfortunately I cannot give Part 2 a perfect 10 but in general this was one of the best shows ever for me!
