Wah, only half the story will be told here, wonder how and where this drama will end.
Probably no season 2 tbh. Many book fans are blaming the screenwriter online now, coz of cutting a lot of exciting political plots, making it to be only a romcom drama. also weakened the fl.

Based on the calendar, they will end in the Capital Arc, which is a milestone, suitable for ending. But still it's a pity they didn't film the second half, the most exciting part of the novel! Full of political plots, smart schemes of GJS and LYR, how they beat their enemies, including LZS.
Based on the novel's historical events, I think this novel borrows the history of the end of Tang Dynasty, skipped…
Oh, my comment is not clear about the An Shi Rebellion. It's not what happened in this drama, it's just an example of the jiedushi system problem. This drama is set in the end of Tang Dynasty.

Jiedushi system was abolished in Yuan Dynasty, but the military powers were reduced by Zhao Kuang Yin (the founder of Song Dynasty)- who should be the reference of the new emperor Fan Xuan in this drama.
Ok Question from someone who doesn't know Chinese History.... All these provinces happen to be the same names…
Based on the novel's historical events, I think this novel borrows the history of the end of Tang Dynasty, skipped the gap of 'Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms', went directly to Song Dynasty.
In the end of Tang Dynasty, many province governors rebelled, they are called 节度使 (jie du shi), they have both political powers and military powers, so with large army to anti the imperial court. This system has large threats to centralization, thus abolished in Yuan Dynasty. wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiedushi
You know An Shi Rebellion in Tang Dynasty? which is a typical example of how the province governors/military leaders can overthrow the imperial court. It's also a similar event that happened in this drama.
Btw, in the novel, the province names are the same in history, the drama replaced them with same pronunciation words to pass the censorship. Coz if they used the real name, may cause misleading to watchers' understanding of history. (History is highly respected in China, so should be accurate).
