Do Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou Die in the A Journey to Love Ending?
Perhaps the biggest thing about the show’s ending is the fact that the main pairing Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou seem to have died, at least based on earlier fan reactions.
Many fans noted that there was no final goodbye made between the two. There was also no corpse shown. Because of this many believe that Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou survived the drama’s finale.
Soon after the episode was released, there have been lots of alternate interpretations online regarding the status of the two characters.
For instance, a Reddit discussion thread about the finale interpreted the ending to be that the main couple is alive.
The prevailing theory here is that the two faked their deaths and began living quiet lives together.
While there are still some debates online about what truly happened in the end, the show seems to be pretty definitive when it comes to the other character deaths.

Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou are the primary characters, but many viewers have also fallen in love with the show’s entertaining supporting cast.
Sadly, the A Journey to Love ending was a tragic one for the rest of the group. That’s because Yu Shi San, Yuan Lu, and Qian Zhao died in the finale.
At least fans seemed to take solace in the fact that they died heroic deaths. This doesn’t seem to be enough for some fans though as there are some complaints about the ending.
