Yes I did start crying on that scene too and didn't stop until ep 52.

This "closure" was also one of my favorites. It's why I preferred the drama ending because the maturity was more realistic

Novel readers said, there's no wedding in the book so it's not surprising we didn't get a wedding scene. But at least it was implied

For me personally, in their 5 yrs apart, they grew more matured but the love is always there. Just like in real life, when you see an old flame whom you can't forget, it wouldn't really take that long to forgive. All the past love can easily come back at first meeting and this I think is what happened to them. If you would observe their interactions, she was already prepared to forgive him. It just needed a push and an opportunity.

Dropped it after ep8. It was such a mess. I regret buying a Youku VIP. Very expensive but I didn't get to maximize it.

Immortal Samsara

And how much he still loves her. So many emotions in his eyes and face

My favorite was the 1st meeting after 5 yrs. His face says it all

It's actually good. A lot better than IS.

This is one of my favorite scenes in part 2. HBY's facial expression gives everything we need to know about how he feels. I felt his hurt, regret, love

This is why I loved the ending. The emperor is with us ranting that we can't witness the wedding. Lol

Alpha males can be overprotective of their mate and that is how LBY is to NN

Rationality goes out of the window when you are desperate and that is what happened to LBY

I think "luck" because LBY is a partner that is a match for NN's personality. Lu Yao may seem to have been a good choice but she will not experience that same passion like loving LBY. With YS, they may understand each other but will just remain as friends. So it really is just LBY who can be at par with our girl NN.

She decided to serve the deposed empress. Since empress was isolated, those who serves her were also isolated in her palace

In all fairness. LBY is not a hopeless case. He may have been ruthless because of his desire for revenge but once he was free of it, his true character came out. As NN said he is innocent like a baby. The "trust" was there, it just need a little push for them to realize it. So for me, the character growth and drama ending was well made and more realistic.

With my very strong and domineering personality, I doubt if I can stand a partner like LBY. Lol

Granny is a great comic relief so don't mind the annoying first parts.

The best drama of 2022. You won't regret esp if you don't mind slow burn. No wasted screen time for all characters. Lots of funny moments too even in the midst of serious situations

Yes me too. I can't get enough of NN & HBY together so I was hoping for more ep of their happy moments but that's just me being greedy too. Nonetheless, the drama ended well so I feel content.
