WARNING - ENDING SPOILER
Totally agree! I would so read about Jin Yu and Huo Qu Bing's life afterwards. They are so funny together. I especially love the chapter "kidnapping" as the conversation between them was just so cute. Then I went back and reread all their little snippets and just found them so funny. It was really smart of Tong Hua as the two male characters contrast so starkly. Huo Qu Bing is like the sun, he has a glaring hot nature for others but is radiant and warm to Jin Yu while Meng Jiu is like the moon, so gentle, but appears cold, yet forever looking over Jin Yu in the times of darkness.
Actually in Song in the Cloud, they mention aspects of Jin Yu and Huo Qu Bing's life in seclusion. There's a really cute part too. Not sure if you want me to spoil it though
I still suggest that you read the book before watching the adaptation. I have very little faith in Yu Zheng and his work .___. (only my opinion) but super excited for both dramas all the same! January seems such a long time away and by the time they finish, it'll be a year away
As for Meng Jiu,
I appreciate his gentleness, his caringness but I didn't adore him like I adored Huo Qu Bing.
Throughout the novel, I really wanted Huo Qu Bing to be with Jin Yu but Meng Jiu really hit me at the end...
what he gave up for the sake of Jin Yu broke my heart...
the fact that he was thankful to God for it and believed it was fair broke my heart...
the idea that he couldn't even write goodbye to Jin Yu and instead used Huo Qu Bing's name instead on the letter broke my heart...
the way he left so that Jin Yu wouldn't find out what happened to him broke my heart even more...
such a selfless character, for he didn't want Jin Yu to forever live in debt to him, he wanted her to have a happy life...
he sacrificed all he could to ensure she could be happy...
I guess it was only then that I really realised how great his love was for her...
