Reading this thread just made me think about how SHL’s ending really gave wenzhou the power of choice, and this time, it’s with no strings attached.
Because if you think about it, circumstances out of their control kept pushing them into a certain direction.

You can’t say that they never had a choice because they clearly did, but it always felt like they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and the choice was never truly up to them?
ZZS made a choice to join Prince Jin because if he didn’t, the Four Seasons Manor would not have survived the constant attacks.
He also made a choice to nail himself in exchange for freedom but that was because the alternative was to continue killing for someone else.

WKX made a choice to join the Ghost Valley but the alternative was him getting killed.
He also made a choice to wreak havoc in the world but that’s because otherwise, those responsible for his parents’ death would never pay for their crimes.

So yeah, they had a choice but also, did they really?
But here, on this snowy mountain, they actually have a choice and it started with A-Xu choosing forever with Lao Wen. For Lao Wen, it’s not even a choice, it’s just a law of the universe: where A-Xu is, is where he belongs.

But also, this whole immortality business is fully in their control, they literally get to choose when to end it and it’s such a gentle choice too?
If they get tired of this “forever”, all they have to do is go down the mountain and have some food.
Easy as that.

It’s literally up to them when they want to end things and that can be when everyone else is gone and they no longer have any strings attached to this world.
And what do they get to do? Literally have a honeymoon down the mountain, enjoying food and wine and slowly aging.

They get to travel around the world, book an inn and sightsee, order a bunch of local delicacies (Lao Wen orders all the new liquor for A-Xu), and just spend their remaining days.
Together.
Because they actually have the choice for once.
