Dreamy

Yes, correct, that's the meaning, her smile is to fulfill Qi Yan's last wish.

The saddest part of the drama.
Warning: HUGE spoiler of the drama ending.

Qi Yan's last parting with Yu Er:

"Throughout my life, because of Teacher's will, because of my brother's wish and because of the fate of the Xing empire, I devote myself.."

"I will die soon, I don't know if I am a good emperor"
"But.. I am really tired, I have to calculate every step I make, I don't dare to commit the slightest mistake."

"If the afterlife does exist, in my next life, I hope I can live for my sake, I wish to be a commoner, I wish to stay by your side for the rest of my life.."

(Yu Er then reply that the day will surely arrive. They'll be together, in their next life)

"But Yu Er, I may not be able to survive for long. I know you don't want to be imprisoned in the palace, so I will order Han Ding to take you out of the palace."

"Going on Safari is my fav hobby, there are plenty of scenery which I haven't seen yet, Promise me, you need to be happy for the rest of your life. Go, and explore the vast world on my behalf. Go, and explore the stars and the moon on my behalf."

(Yu Er promise him while crying on his chest).

But before she & Han Ding reach the Palace exit gate, the bells ring, announce the death of their Emperor.

Han Ding kneeled down on the street & gave Qi Yan his last bow, while Yu Er continue her rides heading outside the palace (with tears filling her eyes).


Later, Yu Er shows us her brightest smile.
Her smile, is to fulfill Qi Yan's last wish for her.


RIP Qi Yan 😭😭😭

He can not be saved, as Qi Yan had to consume a highly dose of medicine which he himself order the divine healer to gave it to him, to counter the poison QLZ gave him everyday to muddle his mind. But it's damaging his own body.
So Qi Yan substitute/ gives his remaining life for the chance of Xing empire.
His organ & lungs has been too far damaged to survive.

Cheng Yi gave his last farewell to Qi Yan & wish him a better life in his next life also confirms everything.

Gosh, I'm really sad to hear this. No matter what their reason is, boycotting a drama of their own fav actor is ridiculous! These kind of act is toxic, esp if they divert their hate to the co partner that has nothing to do with it.

They need to stop calling themselves their so called fans if they do that, what kind of fans bring down their own bias by showing this kind of disrespectful attitude & wishing their very own drama to flop by boycotting? Only the toxic one does!

One drama consist lots of hardwork & dedication from all the person involved, including their fav actor, all the production team, staffs, actors & each of them represent persons that has nothing to do with the target of their hate, just how stupid it is!

Yes! Thank goodness we'll get some fluff & sweetness seeing their adorable bantering in nature before all the angst start to kicks in 😍
Hopefully the author/ writer have mercy on Qi Yan & Yu Er's reincarnation and give us a rainbow & unicorn ending to us.
Reading the comment section/ feedbacks on SW weibo page is really hilarious (flooding by brokenhearted fans who need a heart repair 🤣)

Just completed the series, I'm ugly crying throughout ep 49 😭
By ep 49, all of my prediction was proven to be right.
I was right regarding Prince Guang's true nature
I was right regarding the edict
I was right about their ending
I was right about the meaning behind her smile

Regardless, the ending was perfect & tied all the loose end for me, a proper ending that fits the drama the most, eventhough I was hoping a better outcome & was hoping their foreshadowing to be proven wrong/ just a redherring, but this is the right ending for the drama.
There's nothing ambiguous about the ending, it's as clear as day to me & I prefer them to be that way.

Farewell Qi Yan, thank you for everything & thank you Cheng Yi for bringing Qi Yan's character come to live, Qi Yan will be remember dearly ❤❤ ❤

Can't wait to see your reincarnation at South Wind Knows My Mood, hopefully soonest! 😆😘

Ikr?! 😣 I want rainbow & sunshines for him, it'd be even tougher to see a bright person like Hong Du Shik withers away 🥀

Hong Bajang-nim, you have to be okay!

Ep 3 hit me home, I love how they handle Du Shik & Hye Jin different POV by literally talking it out & grow from it. They built their bonding naturally and my heart flutters seeing their interaction with their dimples attacking me left & right.

Loving how slow burning & relateable it is that I find myself being in tears unknowingly.
Really loving Du Shik's character, and to see some resemblance between Du Shik & uri good boy (his words maybe harsh/hard to hear but it's all out of good intention & you can see his sincerity) just bring back old memories.

The way Du Shik having nightmares & visiting hospitals scares me, I hope nothing bad will happen to him, it'd wrecked me if that happens.

Cheng Yi & his drama

Lol, this is so accurate, it's not Cheng Yi's drama if he's not dying, died, or mentally & physically abused 😂
And we love to see that & look forward to see these kind of scenes alot since his acting is too damn good at it 🤣

Lol, yes i saw these few days back & it's so funny, the part where Yan Ding's great reflect save His Majesty too soon is also hilarious🤣

Agreed! He nailed every tortured, sick, miserable scenes & his acting is really top notch, it's his forte indeed & no one tops him in my eyes that I find his torturing scenes are damn addictive because of how great his acting has always been, best of the best!

I need to stop reading WeTV synopsis, first they spoiled SBM ending right from the first ep & now One and Only ending too, and both were shown accurate 🙈
So guys I think the ending is pretty clear, just like what WeTV have stated, WeTV might hv gotten some insider's/official leaked information before the drama even started 😂

I've watched the trailer too many times already tbh (the drama needs to air soon, seriously, I'm helpless 😂).
And I think I see a part where ZJ crying while sitting next to a man with blood in his face, in a car & she wear the same navy suit where FYS save her.
So yes I guess you're right, JSL save ZJ first & when she collapsed/faint, FYS save her & took her out from the car but later he got shot.
Nooo... she'll keep remembering JSL then 🙉🙈

Ohh that part on the trailer where he got shot, I see then.
I was unsure if it'd be served for a different timeline since in the novel ZJ got traumatized after she got back from Suriah & witness JSL death, while on the trailer FYS seems to be look quite well when he sit beside the bedridden ZJ (where he was supposed to hv suffered from the shot).

Ahahah I don't remember clearly his face but I remember the character you're referring to, thank you! nonetheless, I hope they keep JSL part being minimal & less significant 😅
I want FYS only for ZJ 🤧

Ahahah yes it's him 🤣

"Zhu Jiu, you probably don't know that you are the most beautiful and brightest star, illuminating my dark and lonely world.."

-Fu Yun Shen-


"I am not afraid to be separated from you. The only thing I am afraid of is that in the limited years, we love each other, but we all use it to miss."

-Zhu Jiu-

Counting hours....

Yes, he's really a tragic character. The reason why I hope they could just removed his arc is because their overal journey is already so sad & SL's part making it even more depressing, & it's just hard for me to accept Shi Lang will always have a special place on Zhu Jiu's heart for a lifetime.

Ohh saving her life part gets substitute to Yun Shen? I didn't catch that, is it on the trailer? I hope so, I prefer that way.
The supporting character on SW page hasn't got their character's name written, so am rather anxious 😅

Gosh I just finished reading SW's novel & one more time am heartbroken at CY's drama (for a countless time) 😂 .
Hv put more thoughts on SW page, but overall it's a really good, heartbreaking & emotional writing, the writer better add more sweetness & sunshines to the drama ending, and I hope they'll just remove Shi Lang's part 😣
