Starring Wang Zuxian and Leslie Cheung, "The Love of Humans and Ghosts is Over", so far no one can surpass it.

From playing Nie Xiaoqian to Qingfeng, Wang Zuxian has always been so innocent and heart-wrenching. From meeting Ning Caichen to the end, there were ups and downs along the way. Her fate has always been that she couldn't help herself and had to do things she didn't like. But her relationship with Ning Caichen showed the kindness and simplicity of human nature. When she wanted to tell him that she was a ghost and not a human but couldn't tell it was often the most painful, when she later told Ning Caichen the truth, what the scholar showed was extremely hurtful to her. He believes that ghosts are all harmful, fully expressing the selfish side of human nature.

In the end, when Nie Xiaoqian was rescued from hell, it started to dawn, and he blocked the sun for her. Nie Xiaoqian said to Ning Caichen, "At the end, I still can't see you for the last time. I have to leave when it's dawn. It's going to be so fast..." I feel very uncomfortable when I see this, because sometimes there are barriers Love is not only opposed by others, but also distance.

I know it's a tragedy, but I don't care, because love is unknowable. The role of Qingfeng is undoubtedly the continuation of Xiaoqian. Let people see purer emotions. She had a marriage contract but fell in love with Ning Caichen, Ning Caichen has been thinking about Xiaoqian, but in the end she can still be with Qingfeng.
