Qing Yunzhi's ending was different from the novel because the plot of the novel was different from that of the TV series. The ending of Qing Yunzhi's novel was mainly about the protagonist Bai Jingjing returning to her hometown after completing her mission, but she found that she could no longer return to the past. She decided to stay and help the local people tide over their difficulties, becoming a warm-hearted social worker. At the same time, Bai Jingjing had helped her find her long-lost son, Bai Xiaochun, and they were now living together. In the TV version, the ending was different from the novel. In the TV version, Bai Jingjing didn't complete her mission, and instead left the world, leaving Bai Xiaochun alone to face the future. However, both the ending of the novel and the ending of the TV series expressed Bai Jingjing's deep understanding of life and the world.
