If only the drama chose to stick to the original story of the novel, i would like it more.

It was because I had read the novel to the end, and read the epilogue of the novel's author. While the drama chose a strange ending, and completely different from that. Let's look together the epilogue of the novel,
Xue's body dissipated, and he turned into thousands of rays of light and flew into Yu Zihan's body. Can't you be with her? Does she love Yu Zihan? Then, let him become Yu Zihan's eyes, ears, voice or even legs.
I prefer this novel ending, because it shows that destiny also does justice to true, loyal love. No one loved Ru Ge more than Yu Zihan.
Maybe if you watch the drama, you will see that Yin Xue also loves Ru Ge, but if Ru Ge is not the person in Yin Xue's past, will Yin Xue still love her?
Zhang Feng also once loved Ru Ge, but would someone whose feelings were sincere would easily doubt their loved one like Zhang Feng hurt Ru Ge's feelings?
On the other hand there is Yu Zihan who is always by Ru Ge's side to be her consolation every time when Ru Ge is hurt by Zhang Feng or grieving the loss of a loved one.
Well I will explain a little about the love story of these characters.
As a young girl, Ru Ge gets involved in a complicated love story with 3 men around her. Zhang Feng is the first school brother, and Ru Ge's childhood friend. Then came Yu Zihan at the school which automatically made him Ru Ge's second school brother. (the school referred to here is a martial arts school). Zhang Feng was not very familiar with Yu Zihan because Zhang Feng has no way of communicating with Yu Zihan who is deaf, and crippled since childhood. In contrast to Zhang Feng who was acting cold, Ru Ge had been very warm to Yu Zihan from the moment they met. Ru Ge always found a way to communicate with Yu Zihan. Until then fate got better when finally Yu Zihan was able to hear Ru Ge's words. And the first word Yu Zihan spoke was the Ru Ge's name. Even though Yu Zihan and Ru Ge's interactions were so sweet, it didn't change the fact that Ru Ge's first love was Zhang Feng. After they were old enough, Zhang Feng, and Ru Ge got engaged. Yu Zihan never let Ru Ge know his feelings because Ru Ge's happiness is the most important for Yu Zihan. Then because Zhang Feng thought Ru Ge's father killed his parents, Zhang Feng started hurting Ru Ge's feelings at all costs. Yu Zihan was there to listen to Ru Ge's broken heart. Suddenly a man from Ru Ge's past appears in Ru Ge's chaotic life. This person was Ru Ge's lover in his previous life. This person is pursuing immortality in order to meet his lover's reincarnation, he is Yin Xue. Even though Yin Xue's sacrifice for love looks very touching, I still don't like Yin Xue's way to win Ru Ge's love. Yin Xue knew that Zhang Feng had misunderstood all along but Yin Xue chose to remain silent, and only said it after so much chaos. And I also don't know what Yin Xue's intention is to save Yu Zihan from poisoning. Was it to make Ru Ge unable to forget him or because of his genuine empathy for You Zihan? That's why it's perfectly normal that I prefer the ending of a novel because it does justice to the good, and Yu Zihan's sincerity.
And I don't think Vic Zhou is suitable to play Yin Xue. I feel the acting is too much to describe someone who is flamboyant. I didn't give the casting a 10 because they chose the wrong person to play Yin Xue. But for other actors/actresses they have played the characters well. The side-acting love story is also interesting. Conflicts around the world of martial arts, and government are also very interesting. Although Yu Zihan is physically weak but Yu Zihan's intelligence is very helpful the people around him solve problems in the martial world, and government simultaneously. As a prince, Yu Zihan is not someone who has ambitions for the throne, that makes me like him even more.
