Despite the last episode which seems to indicate Li Ge has died by drinking the poisonous wine herself, and all the later scenes which are perhaps just Liu Yikang's imagination/memories of her, I'd like to think otherwise. These are the 2 things that make me think she hasn't died: 1. When Liu Yikang gets there, her body has gone. That means she may have been saved by someone. 2. Liu Yikang goes to their hide-away place and eats dinner and comments that it still tastes as bad as before. That means she may have cooked it for him.
So my interpretation is, she's still alive. She may have feigned her death just like before in the earlier episodes before Shen Leqing discovers it. I would choose this happy ending. Hope you would too to avoid any depression :D
The Emperor demands her death in 3 days because in Wang Mian's confession, he implicates Li Ge as one of his assassins.…
BTW, Peng Cheng Wang also receives a pardon for her from the Emperor. So I don't really know if she actually has died and everything thereafter is just Liu Yikang's memories/imagination of her, or she actually hasn't died but being hidden away. The last few scenes are up to interpretation, how ever you want to interpret them.
The Emperor demands her death in 3 days because in Wang Mian's confession, he implicates Li Ge as one of his assassins. Seeing Peng Cheng Wang being torn, she decides to end herself (doesn't make any sense to me, nonetheless, this is typical annoying Chinese drama ending).
Episode 52. This is the calm before a storm episode.
- Wang Zi Jing kills herself - Li Ge's shi xiong becomes a vegetable - Wang Mian to be executed - Lu Wan is exiled - Shen Feng marries Mei Ji - San Bao and Xiao Xin get married - Emperor wants to execute Li Ge for being an assassin previously
We have a very silly and cute villain here -Yu Ming Yue. Everyone looks so somber but it's actually a very light-hearted watch. The dialogues are hilarious. Everyone overthinks a simple matter. It's so hilarious.
