Coverage limits: Original WeTV EP01 native video 864×486 t=14.63 s, readyState=4; duration 870.40 s. EP23 Xue Wan’er stages death to escape family danger, is alive, Rong Yan rescues her, and both fight to recover child. Direct EP24 account explicitly states Rong Yan, Xue Wan’er and Yuge live together happily as family of three. Earlier forced separation by her family and prior-life rebirth are part of plot; temporary apparent death in EP23 is staged and reversed by reveal, not a finale loss. No formally documented current-couple breakup in inspected final episodes. One recap pronoun inconsistency refers to Rong Xiu when describing a new pregnancy, though prior line names Rong Yan as happy partner; no pregnancy inference counted. Content warnings: assault and historical child loss in exposition. U.S./caption/audio unconfirmed.
