As soon as the news broke, netizens immediately grasped the key point, and the comment section exploded.

"Director Li Guonong and screenwriter Xiao Qingfeng are collaborating again! 'Eternal Love' will definitely be their next drama, I can't wait!"

"The quality of 'Chinese Paladin' shows their strength, and the next series will definitely be just as good. Maybe it can continue the glory of 'Chinese Paladin' and create another classic fantasy world."

Amidst speculation and discussion, netizens are anxiously awaiting further responses from director Li Guonong and screenwriter Xiao Qingfeng, hoping to confirm as soon as possible whether "Three Lives Three Worlds" is indeed their next drama.

However, some viewers had a different focus, because they had not yet recovered from the tragic ending.

With the airing of the finale of "Chinese Paladin," this phenomenal TV series has once again become the focus of media attention.

Major media outlets have published commentaries, highly praising the drama's influence and artistic value.

"With its captivating storyline, superb acting, and exquisite production, 'Chinese Paladin' has become a milestone in the history of Chinese television dramas. The finale's viewership rating exceeding 8.2 further proves the show's powerful appeal," a well-known entertainment media outlet wrote in its report.

"This drama not only showcases the fantasy and beauty of the Xianxia world, but also profoundly explores themes such as love, friendship, and responsibility. Although the ending is tragic, it is thought-provoking and leaves a deep impression on the audience," commented another media outlet.

However, amidst the media's praise, some fans expressed dissatisfaction with screenwriter Xiao Qingfeng.

These people on the internet accused Xiao Qingfeng of writing an ending that was too tragic and unacceptable.

"Xiao Qingfeng is so inhuman! Why did he have to kill off Lin Yueru, the Drunken Sword Immortal, and Zhao Ling'er? This ending is too cruel!" a fan of the show wrote angrily on Weibo.

"After watching the ending of 'Chinese Paladin,' I cried all night. Xiao Qingfeng, give me back my tears! How are we, the drama fans, supposed to live with such a tragic ending?" Another drama fan also expressed their dissatisfaction in the comments.

Some fans of the drama even organized themselves to leave angry comments on Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo.

"Xiao Qingfeng is not human. You killed off all the characters we like. Did you even consider our feelings?"

"I will never watch any dramas written by Xiao Qingfeng again. They are too heartbreaking."

Faced with accusations and criticisms from fans of the drama, Xiao Qingfeng responded immediately.

"Dear viewers, I warned you beforehand! I've said that every character serves the plot. I'm also very upset, boohoo~~~"

Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo post only made things worse, as it immediately sparked outrage among netizens, who flooded the comments section with criticism.

"What are you complaining about? We viewers who are following the show are the ones who are complaining! You killed off perfectly good characters and said it was for the sake of the plot. This plot is just too cruel!" one netizen commented angrily.

“Exactly! Did you even consider our feelings? We’ve followed this show for so long, and this is such a tragic ending. How are we supposed to accept this?” another netizen chimed in.

"They even said they gave us a heads-up, but what good was that? We're still being tortured to the point of death. Can't you give us a slightly better ending?" one fan questioned.

"Xiao Qingfeng, you have disappointed us too much. We will have to think carefully about whether to watch your dramas in the future, lest we be heartbroken by your dramas again." Some viewers who originally liked him also expressed their disappointment.

"Do you think you can just dismiss us with a simple 'it serves the plot'? We want a reasonable explanation. Why do you have to kill off all the characters that everyone likes?" Many people in the comments section strongly demanded that Xiao Qingfeng provide a more specific explanation.

In an instant, Xiao Qingfeng's Weibo comment section became a battlefield of "condemnation," with the dissatisfaction of the audience and fans surging like a tidal wave, all waiting for Xiao Qingfeng's further response.

......

Despite the sad ending, the influence of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" continues to expand.

Among the many comments, one long comment received a lot of likes, and even received a personal like and approval from Xiao Qingfeng.

This is a comment written by a netizen named "Poisonous Tongue Cat":

"In the past, fantasy dramas were all about the well-being of the world... but we never saw them actually do anything for it. They'd fall in love, become possessed by demons, or simply transform into demons to destroy the world for power. The world was perfectly fine until the main characters came along and they were cursed for eight lifetimes. It's just unbelievable..."

"However, *Chinese Paladin* presents a grander vision and a more noble sentiment. The characters in the story are willing to sacrifice themselves to save the people. Li Xiaoyao gradually grows from a carefree youth into a chivalrous hero shouldering heavy responsibilities. When facing evil forces, he does not back down but bravely stands up to fight for the protection of all living beings. Zhao Ling'er, as a descendant of Nuwa, regards saving the world as her mission, even at the cost of her life."

This spirit of sacrifice for the sake of all people deeply moved and shocked the audience. It showed us that in the world of fantasy, there is not only romantic love, but also responsibility, commitment, and dedication. The Legend of Sword and Fairy teaches us that true heroes do not fight for personal gain, but to protect innocent lives and to uphold world peace and justice.

This long comment resonated with countless netizens, and with Xiao Qingfeng's like, it instantly became a trending topic.

However, amidst the heated discussions online, the ratings for the final two seasons of "Chinese Paladin" were released the following day: 8.9%.

When news broke that the final two episodes of "Chinese Paladin" had achieved a viewership rating of 8.9%, the entire internet erupted in excitement.

On major social media platforms, the level of discussion among netizens has reached unprecedented heights.

"An 8.9% viewership rating! 'Chinese Paladin' has simply created a legend!"

"What an amazing drama! The ratings are so high!"

Countless exclamations of amazement rose and fell.

The media also sprang into action, vying to report on this astonishing achievement.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy series concluded with a stunning 8.9% viewership rating, breaking multiple records!" This headline dominated the headlines of major entertainment news outlets.

The online discussion was heated, but some were happy while others were worried. On the very day the ratings were announced, rumors circulated that Yu Xie had already fled abroad.

Many entertainment reporters went to Yu Xie's studio to wait for him, but all of them returned empty-handed, which also confirmed the news circulating online that Yu Xie had gone abroad to avoid the limelight.

However, Xiao Qingfeng didn't have time to pay attention to him right now. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but that he simply didn't have the energy to care about someone insignificant.

Since the script for "Three Lives Three Worlds" has been completed, the project will be launched immediately.

Subsequently, news broke that Luo Qingchuan would join the filming of the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds" as both a lead actress and an investor.

Numerous media outlets immediately flocked to Luo Qingchuan and Jiahang Media to verify the truth of the matter, to which Luo Qingchuan directly gave an affirmative answer on Weibo.
