It’s one of those types of relationships where they were “dating” before they even knew it. So I would say hard to pinpoint exactly when they clarified they were in a relationship. But it’s pretty apparent from early on they’re both into each other.

Given that, they may have their arguments (different perspectives on matters) but they never really break-up.

LCF is dead. Li Ni’s father abdicates the throne for his son.

Li Ni becomes the emperor and A’Ying his empress,

Ms Gu is seen running around the marketplace all crazy trying to tell everyone she’s the empress.

Ear successfully proposes to Peach.

As in their older days, A’Ying makes a bet with Li Ni. She’s going to tell him something and if he opens his eyes, she wins and if he keeps them closed, he wins. He is familiar with her tricks and vows to keep his eyes closed… except she tells him she’s pregnant.

Also as in their olden days, A’Ying asks what they’re going to name their child and he answers A’Dao and A’Zhen. She asks if he’s really serious and then says if it’s a boy, they’ll go with the former and if a girl, the latter.

She gives birth to an A’Dao!

After a few years Li Ni makes good on his promise and abdicates his thrown. When the drama ends, he’s living in Laolan Pass with A’Ying and now they have an A’Zhen too. What a happy foursome, with Ear and Peach still by their sides.

It’s a very happy, tidy ending! ❤️

Last episode spoilers under the cut:

You have to scroll kinda far as it was mentioned several days ago:

Apparently, the author has said the ML of "Goodbye, My Princess" is a descendant of Li Ni's. (That's what others were saying in comments below.)

When FL's mother sent her away to escape when she was a child, she ran into LCF while in the grassy field. Together they escaped and hid from the attackers. LCF was then brought back to the Cui family and "adopted" by her father. They've been raised as siblings since their childhood. On top of all that, because of her, LCF has never been allowed to have his own identity because he lived as her (to protect her/her father). I would think the last part, especially, is what makes her feel indebted and bad for him.

Are you coming up with a list of "ways to get rid of clowns" for this drama, too? ;)

It wasn't as immediately memorable to the ML given the number of rescue missions he's had, but once his memory is jogged he will remember. Particularly given the circumstances of him having accidentally worn his friend's jacket.

She figures it out by the end of 14

Yes, SJ’s mother had two brothers. The younger uncle is the one who raised him. The older uncle is the one who now checks in on him from time to time.

Gu Xia didn’t pass the exam for her law license so she’s having a hard time finding a job. But she vows to work hard, get her license, and find a job.

At a certain point, FL realizes she doesn’t have any interest in studying finance. She does well in her major because she’s a good student, but it was the major her mother chose for her and she has no passion for it. Through various instances, such as helping ML with the silver shop business, she realizes her passion lies in marketing and she switches majors.

In Ep 30, their senior year, she receives a job offer to work with someone she idolizes in the marketing industry. But it turns out the job is in Huaicheng not Pucheng. She doesn’t know how to tell ML.

ML ends up learning about it through someone else. He tells that person to not tell FL that he knows. He never brings it up either, and then they graduate (drama ends with them taking grad photos together and with their friends).

In the Special episode, she starts to tell him about the job offer but he shares that he already knows. He also tells her it’s a good opportunity and that even if she decided to stay, he would tell her to go. Most importantly, he tells her that whether she stays, goes to Huaicheng, or someplace else it doesn’t matter because he knows in the end they’ll come back together. He reminds her of the essay she’d written in high school when she’d say parting is to ensure that they’ll have a better reunion (or something like that).

I know people are upset at the ending and feel it’s an open-ended one. Ep 30 does feel incomplete but that said, I never felt like they would necessarily break up either. Both of them had indicated too many times how important they were to each other for us to think that distance would necessarily lead to them breaking up.

The Special episode settles that question, IMO. She will return to Huaicheng, they will not break up, their relationship will continue, and in a few years I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to be in the same city. It’s not the worst thing for them. After all, the ML in the meantime was accepted to some training program for his rapid fire shooting thing and it’s doubtful he would’ve had a lot of time for the FL even if she stayed in Huaicheng. In this way, both get to pursue their dreams while supporting each other - which really is the beauty of their relationship.

Hope that satisfies your curiosity! :)

He makes it pretty clear, though, that although he supports (even encourages her) to go back to Huaicheng for her job, that won't change the status of their relationship.

There is an extra, special episode which helps to tie up some loose ends.

Me, too! I actually think it would work well as a drama.

Around June or so, his girlfriend of many years exposed him as a cheater or something like that. The negativity around that news caused the movie to minimize his presence as a result.
