| Fancy Land Shocking Finale Reveals All the Twisted Secrets |
Set in the coastal town of Wucheng, the drama follows single mum Li Xiulan and her daughter Li Yan after two shocking murders rattle their world. As the police dig deeper, they stumble upon a serial crime that uncovers a long-buried evil, pushing every character to the brink.
Let’s break down the ending in proper detail — buckle up, because it’s a wild one.
Quick Recap of Fancy Land's Final Episode
In the finale, all the puzzle pieces finally locked into place. It turns out Li Meng (played by Sun Meilin) — the seemingly separate character — was actually a split personality of Li Yan (Rainbow Xu Mengjie). Everything the audience saw through Li Meng’s eyes was in fact a fractured part of Li Yan’s traumatised mind.
-
Li Meng was the killer, responsible for orchestrating both the murders of Zhang Xiaochuan and Bai Tao.
-
Lin Yi (Zhang Song), who viewers might have assumed to be a victim, was actually a key manipulator from the start. Obsessed with Li Yan since their school days, Lin Yi orchestrated a vile plan to “rescue” her and play hero by first destroying her boyfriend’s looks, then bribing Zhang Xiaochuan to kidnap her.

When Zhang Xiaochuan crossed the line for real and roped in Bai Tao to make nasty videos of Li Yan, Lin Yi’s twisted rescue plan spiralled completely out of control.
Meanwhile, Li Xiulan (Zhang Lu) — Li Yan’s mother — thought she was protecting her daughter but made everything worse, even helping to cover up evidence and convincing herself it was for Li Yan’s good.
White fan Bai Fan’s mum, Bai Fan (Li Chentao), was just as daft, letting herself be persuaded to hide the truth rather than saving her son from a worse fate.
 |
Even Gu Nan (Sun Cailun), who looked innocent enough, was quietly helping the plan along without getting his hands dirty.
And then there’s poor Xiao Jun (Chen Shan), the intellectually disabled lad — he got one final close-up in a police uniform, hinting he died protecting Li Yan as a good neighbour and possibly as an officer injured in the line of duty. That tiny detail really hit me in the gut.

At the very end, after mountains of chaos, Li Yan and her mum managed to reconcile over a tearful video call. The Li Meng persona, satisfied and at peace, relinquished control of the body, letting Li Yan finally regain herself. It was a heartbreaking yet somehow hopeful moment.
As for punishments?
-
Lin Yi: executed (death penalty) for murder
-
Li Xiulan: a mere three years for a string of crimes and cover-ups
-
Wang Guocheng: one year and six months
-
Bai Fan: five years behind bars
-
Li Yan: no criminal responsibility due to her mental split; forced psychiatric treatment instead
-
Gu Nan: walked away without a scratch
Finally, the police wrapped up the investigation and exhaled as all those tangled cases from the past and present were solved.
Characters Wrapped: Where Did They End Up?
✅ Li Yan: The ultimate victim and the killer at the same time. As she regains her true self after the Li Meng persona fades, she faces forced medical treatment rather than prison, still a tragic shell of the girl she once was.
✅ Li Xiulan: A mum who thought she was protecting her child but ended up enabling absolute disaster. She went down for a light three-year sentence, arguably a slap on the wrist.
✅ Lin Yi: The root of the entire tragedy. His one-sided love and hero complex destroyed everyone. His death penalty felt like bitter justice.
✅ Bai Fan’s family: Completely torn apart, with Bai Fan in prison for five years and his mum shattered by her own naive choices.
✅ Gu Nan: Survived it all with no charges, despite helping set up the entire horror.
✅ Xiao Jun: Possibly a quiet hero, dying in the line of duty to protect a neighbour he saw as a friend.
✅ Qin Yang, Sun Mou and the police: Finally put an end to the evil that had been festering for years, but not without serious scars.
What Does Fancy Land Ending Really Mean?
At its heart, Fancy Land is a tale about the consequences of obsession, secrets, and misguided love. Lin Yi’s twisted sense of ownership over Li Yan turned her world into a waking nightmare, destroying not just her, but everyone who crossed his path.
It also shows how misguided loyalty — from Li Xiulan, Bai Fan’s mum, and even Wang Guocheng — can spiral into enabling far worse crimes, instead of protecting the ones they love.

That final reconciliation scene between Li Yan and her mother was bittersweet: yes, Li Yan found some peace, but the cost was enormous. The trauma, the deaths, the shattered families — none of it could ever be truly undone.
In the end, Fancy Land leaves you with a grim reminder: monsters aren’t always strangers — sometimes they hide in the people closest to us.
