What is it about this love story that deserve a second chance?

I went into this historical portion of the drama hoping to get one thing answer, because all other things don't matter. What is it about this love story that deserve a second chance at new life time when so many other couples, who have a more passionate love and would die for each other, have not gotten that chance (as we seen in drama land)?

The first 10 eps really missed the mark on telling a compelling love story between CSC and SY. There were really no teaching of any sort (CSC supposedly teaches SY everything from painting, reading, writing, playing instrument, ect, but we did not get any of that. It was mostly SY teaching herself , which is kind of sad because the few moments of him spending time with her & trying to figure out what to teach her was so endearing. Later on, about the middle episodes, we finally got to view what they really are like as a couple as they spent a lot of time together traveling (something different from the book). Both of the lead being obvious in their feeling. In the end, I still come to the conclusion that there was nothing specials about their relationship. They both still couldn't fight for their love, there was something bigger for them to protect.

The ending instead puts a new perspective on my question above.... in that it's not about their selfish loving each other only, but their love for those around them. Perhaps god gave them a second chance because CSC was too pitiful for all the good he has done and his death was the most horrific and disrespectful. I cried for him and I cried for Shiyi. His last letter stated "I've never let anyone down except Shiyi." It's almost his indication that the people he tried to saved betrayed him and the one person he let go was his biggest mistake. God perhaps heard his cried and tried to make up for him by gifting Shiyi to him the next life time as one can never turn back time to fix the wrong. CSC left behind a honorable legacy and to those that knew and met him. When he die, those that knew him continues to build a legacy he was working towards. They even tried to save the one thing that matters to him most, his Shiyi, but she felt too wrong for his death and his people (that also dead). She says god will make it right and, if there's a next life, for him to come to her.... and come he did (in Forever and Ever).

My overall rating on this drama,is there's not enough issues here to make it this many Episodes. The ending where the female lead ask or say she'll marry him was kind of off, because he was very firm about not being with her. So I didn't feel for it.
