I am kind of satisfied with the ending, but it felt incomplete

In the end, everything feels like it has come full circle—their journey started at the Futu Pagoda and practically ended there too. Bu Yinlou was supposed to die there as a sacrifice, and now, a year later, she actually died… at least in the eyes of the Emperor. It was a relief to see even General Yu Zhu stepping into his morals and letting Yinlou and Xiao Duo escape in the end.What I didn't understand was—did Murong Gaogong die or just collapse after learning of Yinlou's death? Either way, it’s quite ironic for him that it happened on the Lantern Festival, knowing what lanterns meant to him. They were his hobby, he put his soul into them, and he was talented at making them. Of course, a lot of credit for even starting such a hobby goes to the fact that he was saved by the lantern in Yinlou's hand back then, when he was just a scared, bullied child hiding in a dark corner.But am I satisfied with the ending? Kind of, I guess. It was a happy one, but I would have loved to see what happened to the country and who became the next ruler. Was it Prince Liangxu and Wanwan? What happened to the other people I cared about? Yeah, not knowing those bits leaves the ending feeling a bit rushed and incomplete—not for the protagonists, perhaps, but certainly for the other characters.My overall opinion on the drama is very positive, despite a lot of romance scenes being cut. At least I checked them out after I finished the show. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, I loved how clever our leads were, and I loved our second and third couples too. The chemistry between Dylan Wang and Yukee Chen was great, and Peter Ho played the psycho Emperor perfectly. I hated the character so much, which is sign enough of how good Peter was.

i can’t even remember what i wanted to comment on

frustrating episode to have to deal with nana & the aunt at the same time. the aunt is whatever she’s always going to be athorn but thart’s compounded with nana i s amore involved character hat sucks up life every scene she’s in. it’s not fun it’s really not. there is no depth to her we just have to put up with a turbo±villain striking if the main couple maneuvers wrong around her & she forces herseelf to show up too like ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i like ren this episode he’s at the precipice of love & trying to move while still maintain his cvharacter. I’m ready to see him fully change for miko. the conversations are all really tacky & foreard but i do like seeing shu move underhandedly. i think the next episode might be what I’m looking for in seeing him stand his ground for real. when you maske a love triangle you actually have to put in a fight. yes we know ren will win but come on now. give me something.
