> Lost You Forever Season 2 Recap
After the great battle, the dust settled, and Xiang Liu fell. The Xiyan soldiers, filled with rage, wanted to dismember him to avenge the fallen. Roushou stepped forward and strictly forbade it, stating that although Xiang Liu was an enemy, he was also a brave warrior and should not be dishonored in death. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Xiang Liu’s body to express his respect, then led the soldiers away in silence, leaving behind a solemn and respectful atmosphere.
Tears silently streamed down Xiling Jiuyao’s face. She was filled with remorse—had she known it would be a final farewell with Xiang Liu, she would never have let her words become weapons that hurt them both. Her hands trembled as she picked up the Xingxing Mirror, only to find that all the memory images of Xiang Liu had vanished. A surge of grief and shock overwhelmed her.
It turned out that not only had Xiang Liu not taken her words to heart, he had even destroyed all their shared memories, leaving no trace. Jiuyao felt devastated, realizing she was so insignificant in Xiang Liu’s heart that even a single thought of her wasn’t worth preserving. At the same time, Xiyan Cang Xuan raised a cup in solitude, offering a silent tribute to Xiang Liu’s spirit.
In his heart, he vowed to fulfill his promise to Xiang Liu: once he became the King of Xiyan, he would designate a peak on Mount Chenrong as a sacrificial ground, so that all warriors who died in battle could rest in peace, and their ashes return to the land they longed for. He shared this idea with his grandfather, who approved and supported it. Suddenly, Cang Xuan received a summons from the King.
He and his entourage headed to Chaoyun Peak. At the summit, the atmosphere was solemn yet warm. Tushan Jing proposed to Xiling Jiuyao in front of everyone. His sincerity moved both the old King of Xiyan and the King of Haoling, and they gladly gave their blessings. However, doubts lingered in Cang Xuan’s heart. He directly confronted Tushan Jing, questioning why he had hidden his plan to take Mount Chenrong.
Tushan Jing candidly explained that everything he did was for Xiao Yao, but his support for Cang Xuan was not solely because of her. He had traveled the vast wilderness and witnessed the suffering of the people, and he understood how vital a ruler was to his people.
Tushan Jing emphasized that even though he would break his clan’s rules for Xiao Yao, in the face of the greater good, he valued Cang Xuan’s integrity and talent more—hence, he supported Cang Xuan’s ascension without reservation. Cang Xuan was deeply moved by his words and broad vision, and finally gave his blessing to their marriage. Afterwards, Cang Xuan took out a precious token—a gift from his mother for her future daughter-in-law.
He personally gave it to Xiling Jiuyao, then confessed his long-held feelings, revealing that she had always been the one he loved. Jiuyao was shocked and could hardly believe it. Cang Xuan gently explained that though he had once weighed the pros and cons, her place in his heart had never changed. He tucked a Ruomu flower into her hair, saying it was both a token of the Ruoshui clan and a brother’s blessing—wishing it would protect her for life.
Jiuyao was touched and accepted the meaningful gift. They reminisced about the past. Cang Xuan mentioned the vow made in Phoenix Forest with deep emotion. He said he had found his answer—he would choose the path to kingship, but his love for Xiao Yao remained unchanged. Jiuyao’s eyes welled with tears. She was comforted by her brother’s growth and choices. They embraced tightly, as if all misunderstandings and barriers melted away in that moment.
Eventually, with everyone’s witness and blessings, Xiling Jiuyao and Tushan Jing were married, beginning their journey together. Jiuyao, filled with joy, and Tushan Jing paid respects to her mother, honoring the past and looking forward to the future. Then, they decided to return to Qingshui Town, a place filled with warm memories. Before they left, Haoling Yi gave Jiuyao a big-headed doll as a wedding gift, symbolizing blessings and companionship.
She hoped Jiuyao would carry that innocent happiness with her, travel the world with Tushan Jing, and fulfill the dreams she herself couldn’t achieve. The medical book Jimin Waijian was finally completed, but the path of its compilation came at great cost. Xiyan Cang Xuan, moved by the contributions of all the physicians, ordered the erection of a monument to commemorate them. Every contributor's name and achievement would be inscribed for future generations to honor their selfless dedication and the spirit of medical compassion.
