He is deposed, he is given a title property and land and he retires from court. I don’t know what happens to his wife but she is now a commoner.

YS changes, after the breakup CSS is very ill and almost dies, he goes to see her up to 4 times a day and just sits there with her. Empress get deposed and CSS decides to go with her in the palace to look after her, this is party because she can’t stand her family pitying her. It was poignant in the novel , when she enter the empress palace as the red doors are closing in her mind she sees LBY galloping towards her. She decides to get engaged because the empress is dying and she want to see her married before she goes. YS is the obvious choice they are similar, he is dedicated and loves her. After LBY returns when she tells YS that she wants to reassess her life and starts from the beginning he accepts it and runs away with tears but he is also indebted to LBY for looking after his family while he was at the borders. . In the novel epilogue YS eventually gets married and has children but he never forgets her and still loves her. I didn’t like YS character at first but he definitely growing on me as the drama progresses.

She starts to suspect; in the novel she asks him directly during the revenge. He falls of a cliff and survives (only in China and South Korea people survive a devastating falls they must be super men) The emperor doesn’t know he is Huo son, CSS proves it, there is a birth mark that he shares with his real father, also there is proof of Ling Yi and his brothers betrayal by colluding with the enemy. Third prince helps to find the proof it is hidden in a statue. Once the emperor finds out that he is Huo son he orders his rescue from the cliff cave and he is heartbroken about the years of silent suffering that LBY had to endure but has to punish him for deploying soldiers without permission so he is sent to the borders. The very sad thing is that the empress make him admit that his revenge comes before CSS and she is listening and she is devastated and so the engagement is broken. This is all in the novel not sure if the drama will follow. The 5 years separation is not that bad but I think the revenge part and CSS despair will be hard.

He pursues her and admits that he was wrong; they have a fight and he bites her arm again, she made her scar fade by seeing many doctors (wanting to forget him) . She speaks to YS and cancel the engagement she wants to reassess her life. She also find out that while he was at the borders LBY still kept an eye on her and protected YS family for her own sake . Events happens and they reconcile. The reconciliation is only possible because she still loves him and so she is able to forgive him. In the novel the build up to them being together again is very lovely and also sad, I hope the drama can portray this because she doesn’t forgive him easily.

I get what you are saying but before her marriage she was told by LBY that CP loved another, but she still went ahead with the marriage despite knowing that. She married for her own and her family gains and then wallowed in self pity. She blamed everyone but herself for her situation and caused pain and abuse to others, I think her punishment was appropriate, how can someone like that be the future empress?

I have got to say that Wu Lei looks regal on top of a horse. Even if he is wearing chicken wings he looks hot.

This doesn’t follows the novel so no one knows. In the novel QiQi father was the one in prison, but I think is to do with Lou Ben.

The real villain is LBY uncle Ling Yi and his 2 brothers they colluded with the enemy. LBY is trying to gather evidence. There is proof of his betrayal is hidden in a statue, remember the statue that was given to princess Youchang grandmother by Ling Yi present wife? Her family knows about the betrayal but kept silent for gains. This is per the novel I don’t know if the drama will follow.

Yes definitely the revenge plot and the events following such are of great significance to the story.

I know what you mean if they follow the novel there is a lot to cram in, but looking at upcoming episodes trailers they have already deviated from the novel. I just hope it makes sense.

Not immediately and she will get married to someone in the North as planned but she will commit some dirty deeds.

Luo Ji Tong, 5the princess aide and Empress servant she is a villain. She is in love with LBY and secretly jealous of CSS, she is pretending to be her friend and being nice to her but she has the heart of a viper. If they follow the novel she will resurface when LBY is at the borders.

In the novel they don’t die, one of them will be saved by LJT, that’s partly the reason why LBY will allow her to enter his manor when he is sent to the borders after the revenge, he also gets seriously ill. LBY has lots of dirt on her and uses her as a shield to fend off future marriage proposals.

No she is not, in the novel she doesn’t kill herself someone else will. I don’t know if the drama will follow the same path, I think they have changed a few things.

Yes they did, Lou Ben is not a nice guy

In the novel it was Wan Qi Qi father that was framed and arrested. If they follow the novel the Cheng family will be ok. CSS and LBY will uncovered the truth. It is connected with Lou Ben and the Lou family. Lou Ben has done some dirty deeds.

If the dam a follows the novel ep39 mad maybe 40:should be a murder mystery 😊

Unfortunately in the novel he doesn’t end up with her, he loves her but she is already married (for now). The crown princess is rotten to the core and she will get punished. It might be different in the drama.

I am not sure I only read bits of the novel. Look out for LJT she is the next villain.

I think there is a banquet and LBY pulls SS to meet him. Her bite marks has faded, she has seen many doctors to make it disappear, the symbolism is she is forgetting him so he bites her again. She struggles and fight, claws his face and bite his hand. Just so you know before the break up they bit each other arm as an oath of love.
