The Chinese drama Love in the Clouds wrapped up its run on October 25, 2025, delivering a conclusive and satisfying ending for its main characters. The series, a historical fantasy romance starring Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao, captivated audiences with its story of deception, love, and political intrigue in the Six Realms. For fans wondering about the fate of Ji Bozai and Ming Yi, the finale provided clear answers.
The 36-episode series, which began airing on October 8, 2025, on platforms like Netflix, Youku, and Viki, concluded with the couple overcoming the central conflict and choosing a peaceful life together. While their personal story reached a resolution, the finale also planted seeds for future stories, leaving viewers to speculate about the potential for a second season.
A Final Battle for Peace
The concluding episodes of Love in the Clouds centered on a final confrontation with the corrupt council of elders. This group sought to use the powerful cure known as The Golden Millet Dream not for healing, but to enslave cultivators and remove free will from the Six Realms. Their goal was to impose a hierarchy and prevent another war, believing that controlling those with power was the only path to stability.
Ji Bozai and Ming Yi teamed up to expose this corruption. In a climactic sequence, Ji Bozai performed the dangerous Great Soul Refinement, a forbidden technique that risked him losing himself to a demonized state as he absorbed beast energy to protect others. Ming Yi played a critical role in his survival by ingesting The Golden Millet Dream. From the Dream Realm, she guided his consciousness and helped him fight back, preventing the elders from taking control of his mind.
Their love was the key to his stability. Ming Yi connected her consciousness to his, and her presence helped his heart return to a normal rate, allowing him to regain himself.
With the corruption exposed and the council of elders banished, the central threat to the Six Realms was eliminated. This victory allowed the couple to make a choice about their future.
Choosing a Simple Life Together
In the aftermath of the battle, Ji Bozai and Ming Yi achieved their “happily ever after,” but not in a grand palace. Weary of the power struggles at the center of the realms, they decided to leave it all behind. The finale shows them escaping to a mortal life, where they can live in peace and continue their love story away from politics and conflict.
Their journey to this point was long and complex. The series began with Ming Yi, a powerful warrior goddess, being poisoned and suspecting Ji Bozai, a charismatic ex-convict. To find the antidote and get revenge, she disguised herself as a dancer to get close to him. Ji Bozai, however, quickly grew suspicious of her but chose to play along, leading to a rivalry filled with witty banter and a slowly developing romance.
As they worked together to find the ingredients for The Golden Millet Dream, their relationship softened from one of enemies to allies, and finally, to lovers willing to sacrifice everything for each other. The finale confirmed that their love endured through all the deception and challenges, culminating in a well-earned peaceful life together.
Could There Be a Love in the Clouds Season 2?
As of the end of October 2025, there has been no official announcement regarding a second season of Love in the Clouds. However, the finale included several narrative threads that could be explored in future stories.
One major possibility involves the mirror of clouds, which Ming Yi shattered to stabilize Ji Bozai’s soul during his refinement process. This act scattered pieces of the Golden Millet elixir across the Six Realms. If these fragments fall into the wrong hands, they could be used to create a new elixir to control people, sparking a fresh conflict.
Additionally, Ji Bozai’s own condition presents unresolved questions. He is no longer fully human after absorbing countless souls and beast energies. A new story could explore the consequences of this transformation and whether the souls he absorbed will come back to haunt him, even in his peaceful mortal life.
Finally, the series hinted that there is more to learn about Ming Yi’s true origins. While the core romance reached a conclusion, delving deeper into her past and the wider mythology of the Six Realms could provide ample material for a new season. Fans and netizens are actively discussing these possibilities online, keeping hope for a continuation alive.
The new council established to rule the realms could also face its own challenges or internal corruption, mirroring the struggles of the previous elders. While Ji Bozai and Ming Yi have found their happy ending, the world they left behind may still need their help, or that of new heroes, in the future.
