So it looks like FJM's character was made to be more human and less ruthless in the drama vs novel (based on all the novel spoilers I've read from the comments). In the novel, he took in HS and Zhuoying with a motive, everything was his grand plan. But here, you can see there is a family bond. Nonetheless, I admire FJM's wisdom and intelligence for having the eye for talent. Both HS and Zhuoying are people with lots of potential. I guess it takes one to know one.

LOL I watched one of the interviews where he says he felt that it was a tragic ending. Yang Mi said that there will be some ''candy'' if you continue watching but he says not to listen to her haha. At this point, it can go either way, although a HE would be unrealistic? I'm just hoping it is one with closure.

I don't think so, it looks like they changed it from the original story. Each character has their own love line. Whatever marriage seen between HS and the Emperor has a reason not romantic

Why am I more sad about this then FJM’s pending death lmao, the siblings are one of the biggest reasons I started the series

I’m not ready for our brothers Zhuoying and HS from being separated. Zhuoying loves her so much! Brother of the year goes to Zhuoying and man of the year goes to Youdu!

I haven’t watched ep 31-32 yet but saw previews for the latter episodes and it looks like there will be no love triangle between HS/FJM/DX. DX has Tilan, and FJM has HS. Guess that’s the big change in the original storyline, I’m guessing DX and HS will try to find ways to save FJM while protecting the kingdom together from Ji Chang. Glad there is no love triangle, we have enough angst loool

Just caught up with ep 30 and I still cannot get over Youdu and his grand love. He is a wise man. If there were a word to describe his character in the way he lives his life and loves others, it would be - 潇洒 (carefree). He helped to simplify FJM's turmoil in pushing HS away. Love with no regrets! To be loved by someone like Youdu is a great blessing.

So technically whatever Su Ming and the others say weren't completely false. DX and FJM got rid of ppl who may or may not have rebelled, but I guess they didn't wanna take chances on potential rebellions.

Can someone explain to me why FJM and Di Xu got rid of so many loyal court officials (6 members and Su Ming)? I thought they were loyal but is there something I'm missing here...?

This is all around twisted. Lol to up the angst and torture. Where are the healthy relationships at?!

Cue for Youdu to just take her away. At this point she doesn’t get to be with who she wants anyway, might as well have her stay with Youdu than Di Xu

Yeah seriously with their abilities this would be a piece of cake!

Chivalry is not dead! Has a good head on his shoulders. Perhaps seeing the world helps him put things into perspective more and be more carefree in living life with no regrets. I wanna see more of him and HS but I know the show must go on 😭 gosh I haven’t felt this way in a while

I’m so sad right now loool, don’t even wanna watch the full ep since I’ll have to see youdu and be heartbroken again lol! Was he just a cameo? Too bad, funny how such a short screen presence can make me feel second lead syndromes (and he wasn’t even a second lead)

🥂

I haven’t even watched ep 29-30 in its entirety but skipped to Youdu’s scenes just to see what happens with him

Youdu: “I’m giving up not because I didn’t win against you, but because I cannot win again HS love for you” 😢😢😢
“I just want her to be happy everyday”
I love this man.

Lol was hoping for more of a surprise but they introduce the villains very early on. And it’s quite obvious

Such an intellgent, wise, talented and respectful gentleman. Too bad he was only used as a catalyst to push FJM to make that step towards HS

Honestly I was just about to say this, what a man! I’m sad we will no longer see him after this. I liked shifu but youdu’s short screen time was enough to change everything!
