Ep 31 around the 40 min mark they explained. Consort xuan (the nanying princess) was married to prince fangji and wanted to revive nanying but she mistrusted the wrong people and her plan failed. The imperial clan prince (another prince i assumed) killed the emperor. Prince fangji's empress declared herself the emperor and incarcerate prince fangji and consort xuan. I assumed prince fangji's empress was the concubine who had the affair and gave birth to an illegimate child.
After the concubine had this child she was made empress. Because Consort xuan was locked up she sent away her son to safety, whom im guessing is Li xiangyi's father.

Just something i want to point out. I love that they didn't kill of any of the awesome side characters just for the sake of adding drama. And i love how simple but elegant and beautiful their clothings are. There's some drama where the clothings are so over the top it was just so hard for me to keep watching like the FL in rebirth for you. But here the clothing for all the characters are just perfect.

Well with something as big as the villian trying to overthrow the emperor because he thinks he's a nanying descedent, i assume words will travel fast. I mean come on, they were rioting the whole palace and they were not keeping it quiet. To me its understandable.

Omg joseph zeng sang the ending theme on his weibo. I really want the three of them to do a duet. They all have beautiful singing voices. Would it be a possibility they'll sing together on the new year celebration?

Actually hes not related to the emperor because the emperor is not of true royal blood. He is an illegimate child of an affair the consort had. LLH is the grandson of the royal family, he's the true heir to the throne and also a threat to the emperor, hence why he had to disappear.

Yes! This too! Great explanation.

He didnt die in the book but he's still ill. He lost his memories and lives by the seaside. FBD comes and takes care of him.

Why is everyone so upset about the ending. I feel this was the proper ending. In the book FDB found him by the beach. And in the drama they found him by the beach. You can tell he's alive because his clothings and hair has changed. He lives out his life like how he always wanted. Like he said, Li Xiang yi never rests and has enemies everywhere. Its better to be Li Lian Hua. His expected remaining life was one month, but he made it to 3 months. He got genuience qi from his master's wife, he got that special pill from tianji hall that FDB gave him, FDB passing him his small yangzhouman, and he got some inner force from DFS. With all these stuff, even if his poison isn't cure, it surely prolonged his life.

Ahh ok thats makes more sense.

Supposely there's a plot twist.

I thought his mother seems to be part of the martial arts world. That how she met Shan Gu Dao.

So i just had a thought. FDB's mother is surname He. His father shan gu dao got the cloud iron from the He family. Are the two He families related? What if Shan Gu Dao approached FDB's mother to get access to the cloud iron. Maybe that's the reason FDB's mother right now hates Shan gu dao so much.

According to this updated calender fr iqiyi we get 2 episodes tomorrow and then one episode each day til thurs and 2 episodes next friday. https://weibo.com/1731986465/Nd2FW6VKt

I believed they were part of the descendants remaining from nanying. That means they somehow have a connection to jiao li qiao.

If i remember correctly he doesn't necessarily die but he on the verge of dying so he retreats to a hut by the beach and FDB comes spend time with him.

Xiao zijin and qiao wan man are getting increasingly annoying. They need to just leave LLH alone. Also Its funny that LLH's life was the life qwm wanted when she broke up with lxy. She didnt like lxy being the sect leader and too busy for her. Then she gets married to the guy who now wants to become the sect leader and be like lxy. Oh how the tables have turned. Now LLH is living that carefree life that she wanted and she has to tag along with her husband's antics trying but failing to dominate the martial arts world.

Haha they're such great actors they can pull off any characters and personality.

Is there something wrong with the weibo data? When they first released the mv I thought I saw it surpassed 1 million views in about 30 min. But now i went back to watch the mv again and it only has 140,000 views.

This is the best comment yet. This is the most wise and adult way to view the plot of this drama. Most dramas are about a nobody becoming a big hero, but this one is about someone whose already perched on top and his downfall and how he makes peace with the simple life.

Other than him cutting ties with his ex, the novel has no other romance. It purely about LLH's journey to say goodbye to the martial arts world for good.
