The raw episodes are already out. https://kisskh.at/72023-royal-nirvana-special

You're welcome! I fully agree with you on how the editing of the ending was disappointing. Sure hope the twelve episodes that were not released last year will redeem the drama.

There are four OSTs actually and the lyrics are all kind of sad. The trailer and drama stills I've seen suggest Emperor will apologise but my guess is it will happen after CP's demise.

Hi, this is off-topic but just want to share an exciting piece of news as I noticed you watched Royal Nirvana previously. The "sequel" is being released!

I understand and respect your reasons for not wanting to watch it. I also tend to avoid watching dramas that don’t end well but the remaining 12 episodes contain so much of the best efforts of the actors and the climax of the drama that the drama is not complete without them so I am definitely going to watch them.

Many novel fans believe it will follow the tragic ending if you refer to the lyrics of the OST.

The continuation story comes out at Youku tomorrow!

12 episodes coming soon. https://wx4.sinaimg.cn/orj360/001NbstLly1gisqc7nqm9j60u00u0x6p02.jpg

Wait for the continuation story 别云间.

If you are interested in other background, I recommend you refer to the last post on pg 58 of this thread https://forums.soompi.com/topic/420451-mainland-chinese-drama-2019-royal-nirvana-鹤唳华亭/page/67/

She doesn’t.

The dynasty in the novel is fictitious although some say it may have been based on real historical characters because of some similarities.

1) CP
2) Freedom (the two cranes in the painting represent CP and Wenxi’s hopes to be together and free)

Check the last post here https://forums.soompi.com/topic/420451-mainland-chinese-drama-2019-royal-nirvana-鹤唳华亭/page/58/ and see if it addresses your question.

While I feel sorry for his uncle, there are bigger things at stake here and CP cannot just think of himself or his personal feelings for his relatives. The lives of his people are fragile. They depend on him to look after their interests. If he doesn’t look after them, who is going to? Just look at what’s currently happening in Hubei and imagine being one of those trapped there.

You can take it as HE (he really returned) or a BE (her imagination). The after credit scenes suggested what might have been if they did not have to cut the story short. https://forums.soompi.com/topic/420451-mainland-chinese-drama-2019-royal-nirvana-鹤唳华亭/page/59/#comments

There are many clues that point to it being a BE altered to a HE. The undertone in some scenes (eg parting scene between CP and Wang Wong) do not make sense if it is a HE.

That is Xu Changping, not Li Mingan. Check the thread at Soompi to understand more.

Officially, they say it is HE but you can also interpret it as otherwise

Major scenes in those episodes have been transcribed here. Hope it helps. https://forums.soompi.com/topic/420451-mainland-chinese-drama-2019-royal-nirvana-鹤唳华亭/page/59/#comments
