I see that xparrot filled you in on the novel/epilogue, which I keep remembering that I should read properly--I've read a summary, but not an actual translation. (I'm about 70 chapters into the novel, IIRC, and I like a lot about it, although I don't love it anything like the way I love the drama. The actors are so important to me.)
I've seen the drama twice through now (and am early in a third rewatch), and while the ending is obviously a terrifying onslaught of emotion and I still have complicated feelings about it, I can report that at least for me, the second watch was really satisfying even knowing that there were things coming that I felt conflicted about. Seeing it again and having all the backstory that Shen Wei knows is amazing.
And I see that your fic is posted! I'm gonna wait to read it until I have a chance to savor it properly, which may be a few days, but I am so excited that you finished and posted it.
Are you on Twitter at all? The Twitter facet of the fandom (which has a lot of overlap with the Dreamwidth side ^_^) is lovely and vibrant.
