-It was likely that Jiang Ci knew Wei Zhao was poisoned as she started tearing up when she saw WZ's hands trembling to peel that orange. -Both Jiang Ci and Wei Zhao didn't know they had their wedding vows (just at separate times). -That Wei Zhao didn't know Jiang Ci was pregnant... but at least Uncle Ping's wish was fulfilled and there is a Xiao descendant. -Jiang Ci now knows Ayan's pain of being separated from the love of her life. -Jiang Ci received that final "faceless/ugly" clay kitten from Wei Zhao and there will not be anyone else in the world who will make her another one now since both Wei Zhao and her master/aunt are dead. -Xiao Yao carrying that sugar pouch around on his neck (left by Wei Zhao) and giving a sugar candy to Jiang Ci as they arrived back to Yue Luo (probably realizing she was sad). -Jiang Ci's hairstyle at the end lets others know she is a married woman (aka married to Wei Zhao). -Adding that Wei Zhao died in the same place where Prince Qi died too.
They had such a short time together, they had less than a year together from the first day they met on the tree to the final scene.
Interesting detail about the food served to Jiang Ci in prison if anyone missed it:
Crab = Pei Yan Cat Ear Vegetable = Wei Zhao Pastry = Crown Prince (as he served pastry to the emperor during the banquet) Goose meat = Prince Zhuang (as he served goose meat to the emperor during the banquet
It was a message to Jiang Ci that Pei Yan was "helping" the Crown Prince and Wei Zhao was "helping" Prince Zhuang. The real food for her was the congee (and the remaining cloth left by her Master/aunt).
Their son will be able to walk on in his path probably filled with peace due to what Wei Zhao has done. He can…
People are bawling lol. Some people like it, and some people think it is terrible that he doesn't get to live on and enjoy his life with Jiang Ci/son. Some people believe it is an HE instead and that he came back. A lot of discussions for sure.
The drama is not technically over yet for VIPs so the entire cast probably won't post about the ending/say goodbye until the last episode airs for everyone.
Meaning of Xiao Yao's name. The written characters are 萧遥. It means to “to walk leisurely”. Walking in…
Their son will be able to walk on in his path probably filled with peace due to what Wei Zhao has done. He can travel the world in his father's stead and see all the beautiful sceneries/eat all the delicious food with his mom in his father's stead.
Meaning of Xiao Yao's name. The written characters are 萧遥. It means to “to walk leisurely”. Walking in a carefree manner. The name corporates freedom and happiness. A fitting name.
I have some questions:1) Who poisoned the hibiscus soupe?2) Why did Wei Zhao stay in the pavilion instead of leaving?3)…
1) The emperor himself, he wanted to use that reason to get rid of Jiang Ci. 2) He stayed because if "Wei Zhao" didn't take the fall, Yue Luo once again would be blamed and there did be a man hunt for him. As much as the emperor is disliked by our mains, there are people who does support him like Eunuch Tao. 3) They should be okay since Pei Yan will ensure their survival + Crown Prince has now become the current emperor, and he is not like his father. Crown Prince already suspected that his father was involved in the Prince Qi case, so he won't do anything out of guilt + he doesn't want to be like his father.
I was initially on the fence about the ending, but after thinking it through, I think the BE is the one that makes…
Yes, he died a hero, and his name will live on with the Yue Luo people. Wei Zhao died, but Xiao Wuxia lived on.
And for that final scene, it is more open ended than anything so people can either take it as HE (he somehow escaped the fire since they didn't really find his body, somehow cured of the poison, and waited at their home for the past years for Jiang Ci to come back since he believed in her freedom to travel and explore).
It can also be BE, but a beautiful one. He promised her he did watch over her in Yue Luo, and his spirit lived on and will be watching over her and their child forever.
I just want to say... this is a very beautiful drama. There are just so much depth to these characters and they have such great love for their country and people. Everyone might have gone separate ends at the end, but they are all doing their parts to continue to protect their country and people. I just love our characters so much.
Jiang Ci... our carefree girl who came down the mountains, experienced the greatest pain yet also met her greatest love. She is just like her name, kind and benevolent. And she will continue to live on and live on well, for the ones who have protected and risked her lives for her. She will live on for them and save those who need saving.
Wei Zhao... born as the son of the city lord of a land trapped between two great states, his fate was already sealed since then. But he met friends/comrades who fought by his side, people who believed in his cause, and he too, met the love of his life who he will watch over forever and forever. In the darkest timeline he lived in, he managed to strike a ray of hope at the end.
Pei Yan... he who didn't know how to love properly due to his upbringing. Raised to protect his family only but grown to desire to protect the country and common people. He too learned that the way to love isn't only to cage someone, but to let them go. He might never get what his heart truly desires, but he will be able to protect the country that his loved ones live in.
Thank you for this beautiful story and to our supporting characters too who each had their own arc and path in life.
-F*ck the emperor!!! He wanted that throne so much he pretty much forced Prince Qi to commit suicide. Yet Prince Qi begged him to at least allow the people to live in peace, and despite the emperor promising it, he never did it like with the Yue Luo people.
Bye, literally bawling, Wei Zhao really created a home for Jiang Ci to go back to. Their marriage vows to each other during different times.
IDC IDC IDC, it is a happy ending TO ME! I choose to believe he somehow made it back and got rid of that poison!!!!!
-Gentle Cui Liang and his weapon of mass destruction, the contradiction here HAH. -Wei Zhao is cool, glad he is getting his revenge slowly and slowly now with defeating Wei State too. -PFTTT at Wei Zhao sending Jiang Ci away and he failed, once again. 🤣 -Emperor is PISSED and JEALOUS of Wei Zhao... he really will get rid of anyone who is praised more than him. -Crown Prince standing up to the emperor?? Let's gooooo.
-The swing moment and Wei Zhao sealing the marriage... I cried.
-UGH, the way they got the pardon but still not justice for the Xiao family... especially since the emperor is heartless so will use other people's lives as hostages while Wei Zhao can't do that.
It is the way Wei Zhao attempted to kill Jiang Ci so many times, but she always lives and the way he tried to let her go so many times too, but she always chooses to come back... it is no where he fell for her so deeply.
The Jiang Ci and Wei Zhao moments in episode 39 were so so so sweet, I just want them to be happy forever. Side note, Jiang Ci looks so pretty in the pink Yue Luo fit. Not her having the best fits when she is in Yue Luo... she belongs there yup.
-Wei Zhao loves to jinx himself... sir... not fire devouring your body??? -It is the way these military units all got internal conflicts within them too, everyone got their own agenda via this war. -An Cheng... A Liu... not everyone dying left and right. Aw... Tong Min knowing he got to step up now. -Hong Jie grew up a lot too. 🥲
I really love seeing the character developments of all these characters.
-Cui Liang and Dong Second Lady... 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 -At least Jiang Ci got to give the Bitterless Porridge to her master/aunt via her tomb SIGH. -Can't even celebrate my babies being back together longer than a minute because F*CK THE EMPEROR (but also yeah, he was smart for that). His goal is to erase Wei Zhao at this point, it is either death by battle or death by poison. -Jiang Ci and Yue Luo arriving just in time... I love all of them working together. -BYE BYE TENG RUI.
