The general led the rebellion to seize the throne but was appeased with the help of SML and his troops. After the General and his men were arrested, ML succeeded the throne as the new emperor. ML established peace treaty between two kingdoms. BUT, FL left both ML and SML, back to her country (too much heartbreaks). 3 years later, ML and FL run into each other at a festival. So open ending with a positive tone.

I don't usually watch drama like this. But this one I like it and watch till the end

a step kiss scene is now on my list for most unique and cute romance scenes.

Just started this! First ep had me cracking up!

i feel like a new kind of romantic relationship was created here😆

this, when both are mature enough what's the harm, i didnt really think of his age, but im assuming like you in late twenties, there are people who dont enjoy age gaps, regardless of gender, but multiple people are prejudice against older woman dating younger man...

Oh wow, looks like people are not really happy with romance; I've always liked storyline with subtle romance with major focus on the plot, and this looks like that, i dont mind romance when both are adults, and well cew is like 26 and he's gonna serve soon guys lol, don't like it, don't watch it, half of you guys complaining probably enjoy older guys- younger woman shows 😬

this drama is not about you or your personal likings, though, couples like this exist in real life and there even maybe won't be romance, extremely unlikely there would be a kiss scene, so calm down, lol, he's not teen in this

I cannot stand people here who have problem when th FL is older than ML but if it change they are ok with that! why always all rights are for men? COME ON please! both leads are perfect and director knows th more than anyone when he choose roles with this people. if you dont like it its ok so just leave and dont bother others who dont have problem and wait for this series with passion.

For those who watched drama my demon, here the lead couple is a version of future Dohee who is now old and Guwon always young ans sexy LOL

Since he spat blood, fainted, and then fade to black...did he die? I'm assuming she died?

You definitely should continue if you like the flow of the story and the acting ; as it is wuxia, it's not sappy ending though, so...
Just keep in mind the many times the embattled leads got through life threatening wounds through magic pills and potions, and FL faked her death twice, once already before the story started : that should tide you over the worst of heartaches. You could stop at episode 34 otherwise.
If you are looking for who is who, you can look them up in the illustrated gallery of characters or get more info about Liu Yuning in the companion piece :

There's a Table of contents to navigate it.

The main leads do get together early on. Like episode 13 or so. Don't remember since I watched it when it was on air. They never breakup.

It's a very mature story and you will love ALL the characters, not just the leads. Lol sory I don't want to spoil the ending for you since it's very controversial. You have to watch it and decide. But I loved it cause there were hints to how it will all end throughout the show.
