Dear teachers,
Would it sound strange if I say "He lived happy ever after"? or "I want to live happy," rather than " He lived happily ever after" or " I want to live a happy life." Thanks a lot in advance. _()_ |

Indeed. In order to use "happy," you'd have to say "He had a happy life ever after" or "He was happy ever after" (or "I want to have a happy life").
