A Journey to Hardships : Love For A Greater Cause
The conclusions of the drama :
1. For all deceased characters during war: Since the drama is during wartime, it's something we often seen for imperial family along with soldiers and able-in-fighting masters to protect the country at all cost.
2. For Yang Ying and Li Tongguang: Since it's also about war and politic, it's nature seeing a princess marrying into another country as part of alliance and such. So, even they don't really love each other, at least they share the same goal, same morality and know how to respect each other.
3. In short, this drama no one got 100% happy ending what they really want. Your love died, you live alone (Chu Yue), Your love died, you marry another because of "greater cause" (Yang Ying, Li Tongguang), Your love died, you also died (Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou), You love alive, but you cannot be together (Xiaoyan and Danyang).

9. Xiaoyan
Empress of WU that her husband being captured by WU kingdom and later killed in war. She wanted to be empress dowager but postponed this idea, let her brother in law became emperor during critical situation of war.
10. Dan Yang
Dan Yang becomes emperor after his brother died, and then he leads troops to help AN country.
Note: enemy invaders actually only attack AN country, but WU cannot stand seeing so many cities being overtaken by enemy and civilians died. So, they join the war, convinced the ministers and court, "for civilians safety", also since the princess already married into AN kingdom and the two countries is now has an marriage alliance.
... Basically its okay if most characters died in this drama, its just eps 1-30+ full of laughters, then started to be dark and finally wipe out entired squad. It's just like you've been given candies and sweets and later forced to drink pest poisons.
