Definition
结局 (jié jú) refers to the final outcome or ending of a story, event, or situation, emphasizing the concluding part. It is more specific to narratives and events than 结果 (jié guǒ), which is a general 'result' of any process. Unlike 结尾 (jié wěi), which focuses on the structural end of a work (e.g., the last chapter), 结局 highlights the final resolution or fate.
