I'm guessing around 34-35th episode

why does this page have nothing.its already 8 episodes in
I'm guessing around the 34-35th episodes based on what I've seen on the trailer I'll probably come back around that time.
You know the ending with the crane flying above head and it sheds a feather? It's when the Crown Prince aka Emperor is telling HS that FJM's health has improved as compared with the earlier years...
here's what a crane symbolizes:
From fengshuibeginner.com : "In China, the crane, also known as the heron has always been one of the most auspicious symbols since the olden times. It is a symbol of nobility and long life. In addition, it also represents everlasting love and loyalty in romance. "
And from artfixdaily.com: "In Chinese culture, the crane is venerated as the prince of all feathered creatures and thus has a legendary status. Embodying longevity and peace, it is the second most favored bird symbol after the phoenix"
So, I take it to mean that the country is ushering in a period of peace and that FJM will live a long life. I was a little puzzled as to why the feather flew in the wind and we got to see young HS with FJM plus all the other love-scenes.... and I think the first explanation informs us that it also represents "everlasting love and loyalty"....
(reason is because in E06, he didn't catch the feather, but in E48, he catches it"...so he accepts the love and loyalty from HS.
So that's the parting message - though a rather cryptic one. Geez, it's not like all audiences know what the crane means!
Will there be a happy ending? (depends on how you view it but for me)
No, the only couple that gets a happy ending is Zhe Liu and Zhuo Ying. The Emperor and Ti Lan dies. While Hai Shi and Fang Zhu are separated lovers.
Fang Zhu fell back into the cycle of taking the pain for the young emperor, the child Ti Lan and Zhong Xu (The emperor) left. And is dealing with respiratory disease.
I don't think it's a bad ending, however, I was disappointed.
