“Feng Xiyang, give me a smile. I’ve never seen you smile. Just smile once. If you do, I can die without regrets.” Xia Jingyan dragged his bloodstained body along. His dark robes clung to his rotting flesh, and every movement brought a stab of agony. He gazed at Feng Xiyang, his voice trembling but stubborn.
When people mention Jun Wu Xi Yan, the one thing they can never get past is its heartbreaking ending. I’m sure many people understand that lingering sense of regret, and I was completely caught up in it myself. The actor who played Xia Jingyan brought the character vividly to life with a performance that was both nuanced and powerful, winning me over completely and leaving me even more attached to the character and the story. I really don’t want their story to end in regret. I want to give them a warmer ending.
