Episode 40 has been subbed (hallelujah!), but I have a question. When XF is talking with General Peo towards the last part of the episode, he's walking away and the wind starts blowing really hard. I'm really bad with symbolism and wondered what this meant?

I literally laughed out loud! You needed to be head writer for this drama!

I've racked my brain trying to figure out if there was a way for these two to live happily after the Danchi tribe was eliminated. I think LCY wanted love, revenge and power. XF wanted the freedom. Neither one really had a choice in the unfolding events in their life. I love @chinesedramafan's suggestion of a midsummer night's dream. That's probably the only way for a happy ending.

The previews for episode 51-54 are on YouTube right now. Using the spoiler box for replies, what do you all think?

You know, with all the angst that this drama has created, I think your ending would make me super happy.

Exactly! I really, really cannot wait and at the same time, dread for the last episode. I'm hearing this is a HUGE hit in China, so I'm hoping they produce more with this type of storyline.

This is an awesome comment! How is it we despise, sympathize and love LCY?

I will definitely start it. Goodbye My Princess is like a rollercoaster you can't get off.

On another site for this drama, they also say that LCY forced himself on XF in one of those episodes. I watched 48 but not the one's lead up to it because without the proper dialogue, too much can be mistaken. In the book, they did not sleep together. On the other hand (which does not follow the book AT ALL), him sleeping with slutty-r-us SeSe has me pissed off right now. She's a %$##ing secondary character that does not need this much storyline.

Fantastic article! Usually in the longer dramas, I skip the first four episodes because they are essentially fillers before the story starts. This one has had me obsessed since episode 1! Everything you said about this drama rings true and I'll be there for the tragic end.

Amen sister!

I think your ending is the best one!

You are spot on! The storyline arc for LCY lent a reason for his betrayal and ultimate %$#@ up relationship towards XF but to have him sleep with SeSe made me want to stab the script writer. I agree with you.....if they were going to change the story, have her run away and be happy with GJ or General Pei (I really ship this guy because he's the only single one who did not wear two faces), have 8 kids together and live happily on the plains. And LCY gets a report every year how devoted these two are as a family.

My personal hope is that LCY lives a very, very long life with the lackluster milktoast SeSe and has to sleep with her every......single......night. I have never been so emotionally tied to a character as I am with XF. After episode 9, there was no way for her to have a happy ending but I am hoping dearly for LCY to live with an enormous amount of pain and loss for betraying XF.

Oh my gosh! Episode 48, even in its raw form,.....I am going to need lots of chocolate therapy.

I will have a margarita celebration if they allow XF to take her own life and show him living in guilt and loss every.....damn.......day. My version of GBMP happy ending.

I like the current YouTube clip ending where she has the sword and takes her own life. In the novel, it's the only way she can get away from the CP and life in the Eastern Palace. Her riding away with A'du would somehow detract from the first 10 episodes of how much they felt for each other. Ugh, the love confession to SeSe is so annoying and contradicts the best episodes of this drama!

If they were going to deviate this much from the original storyline, why not have her run off into the sunset with General Pei and A'du and leave CP with guttergirl SeSe. I agree with you on the Gu Jian character.....flaws and all up until episode 44, I really enjoyed this character.

Here's the latest post from Marcus Sim on the ending. My sleep will be sooooo much better after this series ends. I really hate the fact they've deviated from the novel so much, but I'm hanging in there until the bitter end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1J88m_3-Ds&t=94s

I think they did a great job capturing the essence of the novel up to the last few episodes. Then, who knows what alcoholic beverage the screenwriters were drinking when they started this SeSe love arc. They took a guy who was obviously in love with the princess, betrays her and wipes out her entire family but has the capacity to love another woman???? Yeah, I can feel the blood boil begin. I hate to see this drama, which was so unique at the beginning, turn into a frat party typewriters mistake.
