Shine on Me Ending Explained
What Happened to Lin Yu Sen and Nie Xi Guang on Shine on Me Ending?
Thanks to Nie Cheng Yuan’s involvement, Nie Xi Guang and Lin Yu Sen finally learned the truth behind the accident two years ago. The person who invited Lin Yu Sen was Ma Nian Yuan, who pretended to be Nie Cheng Yuan’s illegitimate daughter.
She went to Shao Jia Qi and asked him to pass the message to Lin Yu Sen, saying that she invited him to Wuxi. Shao Jia Qi made the call. Lin Yu Sen believed it without doubt, because he only knew that Nie Cheng Yuan’s daughter was Nie Xi Guang.
The truth shocked Lin Yu Sen. For two years, he had been living with physical pain and conflicted emotions. So, after everything was exposed, he chose to go on a long business trip. He travelled alone, visiting the large PV farm and several other places.
He intentionally kept a distance from Nie Xi Guang, not because he stopped loving her, but because he needed space. He needs time to process the truth. The accident, the ruined career, the years of suffering, and the love he holds onto now have to be reframed.
Two years ago, Lin Yu Sen first saw Nie Xi Guang at Mrs. Yu’s banquet. That night, Nie Cheng Yuan brought Ma Nian Yuan along. Because many people in the business circle already knew about the affair, her presence caused a stir.
Nie Xi Guang accidentally overheard a group of people mocking her mother. Later, when one of them went to flatter Nie Cheng Yuan, she stood up and confronted him directly. Her confidence and fierceness caught Lin Yu Sen’s attention. He fell in love at first sight.
After sorting out his feelings, Lin Yu Sen met Nie Xi Guang again in Wuxi. They walked through the plum blossom park and finally spoke honestly about their feelings. Nie Xi Guang confessed, and he accepted. They left that place as a couple. Lin Yu Sen said no other plum blossoms could ever compare to those in that park.
At Sheng Xin Mian’s 80th birthday banquet, Sheng Xing Jie publicly insulted Lin Yu Sen. To make up for it, the old man decided to transfer all of Shengyuan shares in Shuangyuan to Lin Yu Sen and let him take over after Zhang Ming retired.
However, it didn’t go smoothly because Nie Cheng Yuan strongly opposed the idea. To help Lin Yu Sen and start her life anew, Jiang Yun agreed to swap her shares in Yuancheng Holdings with Nie Cheng Yuan’s shares in Shuangyuan. Making her and Lin Yu Sen the actual owners of Shuangyuan.
Nie Xi Guang attended Si Liang’s birthday party, while Lin Yu Sen went to an academic gathering with his former professor. She arrived in a good mood. But turned sour after Zhuang Xu questioned her about her lie.
They had a heated argument. He blamed her for being unfair, while she told him stop lying to himself. She pointed out that all this time, Zhuang Xu had been taking advantage of her feelings. Emotionally shaken, she went to find Lin Yu Sen.
When she saw him, she hugged him without thinking, unaware that his professors were watching. After the meeting, Lin Yu Sen had firmly decided to return to the medical world. He planned to join Professor Xi, but only after wrapping up his responsibilities at the company.
Lin Yu Sen and Nie XI Guang become open about their relationship at work. At first, there were gossips, but Nie Xi Guang soon proved her ability through her performance.
Her aunt, Mrs. Shen, led her team to Shuangyuan and proposed a collaboration after she studied their PV technology. She planned to bid for a project using the BIPV technology, combining architecture with green energy and low carbon consumption.
During a site visit, they ran into Shengyuan’s group. Sheng Xing Jie has invited a French expert to compete for the same project. He looked down on Lin Yu Sen’s group and was visibly annoyed that he had to greet Lin Yu Sen. His attempts to humiliate Lin Yu Sen and Nie Xi Guang failed because the two of them could calmly refute everything he said.
Nie Xi Guang came up with an idea to change Shuangyuan’s name to Guangyu, a combination of Lin Yu Sen and her name. But before they could discuss it further, Grandma Nie called and said that Grandpa Nie was sick.
Lin Yu Sen immediately offered to help. The next day, they rushed to Wuxi, and he successfully treated Grandpa’s illness. It’s a successful first meeting for Lin Yu Sen because both grandparents were fond of him.
But the day was far from peaceful. Several thugs and villagers made a ruckus in front of the Nie house. Their target is Nie Cheng Yuan. Grandma Nie called him Nie Cheng Yuan to come and resolve the issue. But before the things were settled, Nie Cheng Yuan fainted. They rushed him to the hospital.
Nie Cheng Yuan’s illness required surgery. Because it was within his field, Lin Yu Sen helped the family to communicate with the doctor and offered professional advice. He travelled frequently between Nanjing and Suzhou, juggling between work and helping Nie Xi Guang’s family.
During the hospitalization, Nie Cheng Yuan’s temper worsened. He lashed out at Nie Xi Guang. Blaming her for ruining his reputation. And this time, she refused to stay silent. For years, her father had trusted Ma Nian Yuan more than her.
Nie Xi Guang bore the brunt for her. Yet in the end, Nie Cheng Yuan still treated her and Lin Yu Sen with suspicion. With tears in her eyes, Nie Xi Guang finally spoke. Every word came from years of hurt. The pain was written all over her face. faced with the truth, Nie Cheng Yuan could only stay silent, stunned, and forced to heal the damage he had done to his daughter.
Lin Yu Sen and Jiang Yun entered the room quietly. They heard everything she said. Lin Yu Sen could feel her pain and immediately took her into his arms. Grandma Nie was too shocked to speak.
Jiang Yun’s fiery gaze pierced Nie Cheng Yuan, who couldn’t stand it and turned his face away. That night, Nie Cheng Yuan apologized to his daughter and promised to think about everything she said. However, the apology did not make Nie Xi Guang happy.
Happiness followed after that. Chengrui, Nie Xi Guang’s aunt’s company, won the bid, defeating the giant Shengyuan and crushing Sheng Xing Jie’s pride. He became so angry that he took it out on Lin Yu Sen, who only responded with a grin. On the same day, Nie Xi Guang and Lin Yu Sen bought their future home.
Sheng Xing Jie reported his defeat to his father, who then sought out Sheng Xian Min. Who would have thought that Sheng Xian Min would almost fire Sheng Xing Jie from the company?
To prevent this, Sheng Bo Kai pleaded for his son and blamed Lin Yu Sen, accusing him of helping outsiders and betraying family interests. However, Sheng Xian Min was not blind. He refused to hear another word from his son and chased him away.
The old man came to Suzhou and was impressed by Shuangyuan. He praised Lin Yu Sen for his hard work. Sheng Xian Min regretted that Sheng Xing Jie didn’t have half of Lin Yu Sen’s intelligence. Seeing his distress, Lin Yu Sen suggested that Sheng Xian Min prepare Sheng Xing Xiu to be the successor of Shengyuan, as she possesses all the necessary traits.
Shuangyuan changed its name to Guangyu. The unveiling ceremony was led by Jiang Yun and Sheng Xian Min. At the same time, the PV Garden was also completed. Instead of Liuguang Garden, Nie Cheng Yuan chose the name Liuguang Forest.
In Chinese, “forest” is “sen lin”, which shares the same character as Lin Yu Sen’s name. She knew that Lin Yu Sen would soon leave the company, meaning they would no longer work side by side. Still, she wanted a part of him to remain there. Her explanation touched Lin Yu Sen deeply. That night, he proposed to her.
Following her mother’s advice when she was still single, Nie Xie Guang spent two more years as Lin Yu Sen’s girlfriend before they got married. They eventually settled into their home and lived a happy life.
What Happened to Zhuang Xu on Shine on Me Ending?
On her birthday, Zhuang Xu rejected Chris’s feelings. Later, she told him that during the Changbai Mountain holiday, Lin Yu Sen and Nie Xi Guang were not a couple. He was only a suitor, and she was still single.
Thinking he still had a chance, Zhuang Xu rushed to Si Liang’s birthday to find her. He planned to confess. Unfortunately, he overheard his friends talking about Nie Xi Guang and Lin Yu Sen. This time, they had seen them kissing and were certain the two were together. Zhuang Xu drowned his sorrow in alcohol and expressed his heartbreak by singing Nie Xi Guang’s favorite song.
When Nie Xi Guang left the party early, he chased after her. Zhuang Xu questioned why she lied about her status during the New Year. He mentioned how he tried to reach her when she was in Europe, but both her phone and Jiang Rui’s were always off.
He truly believed that she had gone to study and that Lin Yu Sen was already her boyfriend. He asked what he had done wrong and whether Nie Xi Guang regretted missing this chance between them.
Nie Xi Guang said that she didn’t understand what he meant by saying all that. She only wanted to confirm one thing. It was about the message she sent after confessing to him, where she apologized for stepping into his relationship, and Ye Rong.
Nie Xi Guang wanted to know if he had received it. When he said yes, everything suddenly became clear to her. She felt no regret anymore, because she had cleared her name.
Zhuang Xu finally understood what she meant and desperately chased after her. He stopped her before she could get into the taxi. He admitted that he had misunderstood her in many ways and wanted to make things right.
He thought that once he went to Shanghai, they could start over again. He believed the “big grape” would come back. Nie Xi Guang was stunned. She never knew that she was the big grape. At that time, she thought he was talking about Ye Rong.
All this time, Zhuang Xu had been holding himself back. He was struggling with his own feelings. He felt that he kept missing his chances and blamed the world, and even Nie Xi Guang, for being unfair to him. Zhuang Xu accused her of forcing her way into his life, yet disappearing when he finally let go.
This time, Nie Xie Guang could no longer contain her anger and lashed out at him. Zhuang Xu was stunned when she told him that if he truly wanted to find her, it was never that hard.
There were many ways to reach her. He had misunderstood her because he had chosen to believe others instead of her. She told him that she had said and done so much, yet he chose to stay blind and deaf.
Over the years, he had taken advantage of her feelings, and even if she knew she was the “big grape,” why should she be the one to crawl back? This question was something that Zhuang Xu could never answer. Nie Xi Guang then firmly said that she would always end up with Lin Yu Sen because he was honest about his feelings.
May Zhuang Xu spend his life regretting his cowardice. he called it bad timing, but it was always a lack of courage. 🫥
Nie Xi Guang stopped talking and walked away when she noticed their friends watching them argue. Zhuang Xu was left standing alone on the road. Tears streamed down his face. Not far away, Ye Rong quietly slipped away.
After that night, they never saw each other again. Later, Zhuang Xu faced vicious rumours at work. He suddenly remembered the helpless expression on Nie Xi Guang’s face when she was accused of hiding Ye Rong’s call. Only then did he truly understand how painful it was for her back then. He typed an apology message on his phone. But in the end, he never had the courage to send it.
What Happened to Ye Rong on Shine on Me Ending?
After learning about Zhuang Xu’s true feelings for Nie Xi Guang, Ye Rong chose to keep her distance from him. When Sheng Xing Jie lost the project bidding, she resigned from Shengyuan and planned to move to Shenzhen.
Ye Rong is an ambitious person. She could see that Sheng Xing Jie had lost his chance to be the heir of Shengyuan. Another reason was that she wanted to forget her one-sided love.
When Si Ling asked if she had said goodbye to Zhuang Xu. Ye Rong stared at the water droplets outside the window for a long time. She then replied that they had already parted a long time ago.
She recalled how Zhuang Xu once told her that she used Nie Xi Guang as a way to feel superior, turning her into an imaginary rival. Ye Rong admitted that he was right.
Nie Xi Guang was never the reason. All this time, she was trapped in her own unresolved emotions. Ye Rong left for Shenzhen without saying goodbye to the others.
What Happened to Nie Cheng Yuan on Shine on Me Ending?
Nie Cheng Yuan finally realized how the Qians were taking advantage of him. Qian Da Shun, Qian Fang Ping’s father, borrowed money from the villagers and loan sharks using Nie Cheng Yuan’s name as a guarantee.
Because he valued his reputation, Nie Cheng Yuang chose to pay the debt, but not the interest. Grandma Nie disagrees. She insisted the villagers, the real victims, should receive both their money and the interest.
As for the loan sharks, Qian Da Shun should be reported to the police. This time, it’s Nie Cheng Yuan who strongly disagreed. Reporting to the police could also damage his reputation. He argued with her, but before any conclusion was made, he collapsed.
At the hospital, Nie Cheng Yuan was diagnosed with a tumor in his ear. He refused to listen to the doctor or to Lin Yu Sen’s advice and insisted on his own medical consultants. His rebuke was harsh and hurtful. Lin Yu Sen swallowed it all and pretended he was fine for Nie Xi Guang’s sake.
Meanwhile, Qian Fang Ping panicked. This time her tears didn’t work. Nie Cheng Yuan shouted at her and hung up mid-wail. Over the years, she had secretly entrusted her money to her father to hide it from Nie Cheng Yuan.
Now, it’s all gone. Qian Da Shun had gambled away their money. Things are getting worse when Ma Nian Yuan returned and cried that she had fallen into a scam investment. The Qians were left nearly bankrupt.
But it’s not over yet. To show how angry he was, Nie Cheng Yuan cut off all contact and the financial support for the Qians. Only then did the Qians realize how serious their situation was. SERVES THEM RIGHT! 🤬
After moving to the private hospital, the doctor suggested surgery. But the rate of success depended on the skill of the surgeon. He also mentioned a young surgeon with a high success rate, surnamed Lin.
Nie Cheng Yuan agreed to choose him. But suddenly Nie Xi Guang appeared in the room. She told them that the said doctor is Lin Yu Sen and he hadn’t performed any surgery for the past 2 years, due to an accident.
The peaceful days have yet to arrive in Nie Cheng Yuan’s life. Qiang Fang Ping and Ma Nian Yuan reported the scam to the police to get their money back. This time, Nie Cheng Yuan’s reputation truly suffered.
He lashed out at Nie Xi Guang, accusing her of calling the police behind his back. Nie Xi Guang snapped back. She was not the victim and couldn’t have made the report. This time, Nie Xi Guang couldn’t hold back her grievances.
She told Nie Cheng Yuan everything. Ma Nian Yuan ruined Lin Yu Sen’s career, but he never punished her or felt guilty for indirectly ruining someone else’s life. Nie Xi Guang and Lin Yu Sen have hidden everything from others for his reputation’s sake.
But in return, Nie Cheng Yuan kept on targeting Lin Yu Sen. In the end, Nie Xie Guang questioned whether Nie Cheng Yuan really loved her or if he was lying to her and to himself.
After they left, Nie Cheng Yuan broke down, remembering the days when they were once a happy family. Later that night, he apologized via message. He blamed it on his bad temper and insisted that he was still the only person who loved her the most. However, after what happened, Nie Xie Guang quietly distanced herself. A crack in trust has already formed.
My screen suffered because I threw my slipper. Thank goodness it was a fluffy one. 😅
The Qian were eventually kicked out of the villa. It belonged to Nie Cheng Yuan, and he decided to sell it without hesitation. Whatever feeling he once had is gone. Ma Nian Yuan blamed Qian Fang Ping, and Qian Fang Ping blamed her right back for dragging her down. 😁😁
After the Marriage
Ten years later, Nie Xi Guang has become the head of Guangyu and a major figure in the new energy sector. She opened a new PV power station, a large project that firmly established Guangyu as the powerhouse in the industry.
Her business expands into the Middle East. Meanwhile, Lin Yu Sen made a breakthrough in the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) research after his clinical trials succeeded. His work helped countless paralyzed patients regain their independence. And now his name was famous in the BCI and neuroscience field.
Their daughter, Lin Xing Heng, is now in kindergarten. The little girl is usually taken care of by her father whenever Nie Xi Guang travels for work. Both father and daughter were afraid of her, because she is a strict mama.
Sheng Xing Jie didn’t end up leading Shengyuan. Sheng Xing Xiu takes over instead. It seemed that Shen Xian Min truly took Lin Yu Sen’s advice seriously.
As for Zhuang Xu, he left Huaya Bank. Together with his colleagues, Kevin and Chris, he starts his own firm, Xulie Quant. Zhuang Xu remained single and never contacted Nie Xi Guang again.
Even though he still wanted to apologize to her, he understood that the best apology is staying out of someone’s life. And no, he didn’t end up with Chris. She already has a boyfriend.
My Two Cents
I loved the ending because it gave us a glimpse into the lives of Lin Yu Sen and Nie Xi Guang after they got married. I was also curious about how Nie Cheng Yuan is doing. Based on his nature, I am sure he would become even more successful after his mind no longer clouded by Qian Fang Ping’s whispers.
At the same time, though, I could also imagine his desolate life. Nie Xi Guang will surely keep her distance from him. A father like that does not deserve forgiveness. He only needs to accept the life he created for himself.
