She first cried when the actress who plays Hongxian thanked the audience: “Thank you all for liking Wei Rao and liking Tian Xiwei.” Her tears returned when a video showed Pan Junya, who plays Bitao, saying that Bitao was most reluctant about not being able to accompany Wei Rao to the very end, and that what she wanted most was to stay by her side.
Yan An, who plays Lu Zhuo and was standing next to Tian Xiwei, quickly stepped into the role of comforter. He did not move in right away. Instead, he turned several times to check on her. Once their eyes met, he handed her a tissue and asked softly, “Still crying?”
After Tian Xiwei wiped away her tears, Yan An took the used tissue from her in a very natural way. He then pretended to dab his own eyes with it, saying, “I’m crying too.” Tian Xiwei burst out laughing through her tears. The topic “Yan An’s reaction to seeing Tian Xiwei cry” briefly ranked first on Weibo’s hot search list.
Among the other cast members, Nikita Mao leaned down to console Tian Xiwei, while Tian Niu’s eyes were visibly teary. Several cast members hugged one another, audience members at the venue cried along, and the host could be heard choking up as well.
Chinese netizens described the act of “handing over a tissue and taking back the used one” as jiashu xingwei, or behavior like that of a family member. Yan An’s comforting was seen as free of exaggerated hugs or back pats, and he did not steal the spotlight or make a fuss. Many called it “the highest form of consideration among adults.” Netizens also said his movements were so natural that they did not look like yingye, meaning staged interaction for promotional purposes. In their view, only someone who truly regards the other person as one of their own could act so smoothly.
Another interaction that drew attention was the wedding ring moment. The two reenacted the wedding scene of Wei Rao and Lu Zhuo. When the host read the vow “for richer or poorer,” Tian Xiwei interrupted in her character’s voice: “No poorer! I want rich and richer!”
Yan An then placed a borrowed ring on her ring finger. He appeared so nervous that his hand shook, and he repeatedly answered, “I do too, I do too, I do too.” He then laughed and changed his answer to “I don’t,” which drew laughter from the audience. The two also took part in a blindfolded archery game, and their chemistry was met with cheers. Many viewers said they “can’t tell which is the character and which is the actor.”
On the ratings side, Where the Mask Ends recorded a 30.6 percent market share according to Yunhe Data on the day of its finale. It has held the top spot for 18 consecutive days. Many fans said they were not ready for the drama to end. One netizen wrote that it was only when the entire cast bowed together at the event that they truly felt the story had come to a close.
