So far the relationship between the emperor and Tilan is getting better based in the next episode trailers. Also, we don't know yet how HS is found out to be a girl, either (1) the emperor spots her wearing dress and falls in love, or (2) somebody reports her identity results in FS is deceiving a monarch which is punishable by death, or (3) etc. If about deceiving a monarch, it is possible that FZ is the one who ask the emperor as his last request in protecting HS, and no romantic route. If progressing in romantic way maybe the first reason apply. But If you see the spoiler in the trailer, after the plot between HS and the emperor begins, Tilan is not mentioned anymore. So I suspect her death whatever the reason, and there is also General Tang who also seems in love with her, maybe Tilan loves him too.

Someone also mentioned in comments that it is also possible if HS being an empress is one of FZ requests to the emperor for protecting HS after being found out as a girl (deceiving monarchy will be pusnished by death). As FZ will not live much longer and the emperor is in his debt towards FZ, he takes FZ's last request for protecting HZ. So it emperor and HS may not be romantic.

I think the possibility of Tilan's death is big. Because the teasers so far show when the plot between HS and the emperor begins, Tilan is not mentioned anymore. Also, her death could be the trigger of HS and emperor's plot. Because Tilan and the emperor is getting better now after HS adviced the emperor to be more caring towards Tilan. So, if Tilan is still alive as the story proceeds, I doubt HS will be the empress later on ( but HS will be the empress for sure). So there's must be a trigger to the new plot.

Another possibility is maybe Tilan will not be alive when the plot between HS and the emperor begins. Maybe Tilan’s death become the reason of the new plot between HS and the emperor’s, although I doubt it would be in romantic way. But I do hope some love triangle excitement in this drama. 😁🥰

Yeah, I also don't think HS and emperor relationship is going to be romantic like the synopsis. The synopsis says HS is also interested in the emperor after becoming his personal guard and the emperor also has feeling after knowing HS is a girl. But it seems like the teasers and the recent episodes show their relationship is going towards different pathway and not romantic. But I do hope it will be romantic not only just her empress title.

Sorry it supposed to be FH not FS (i'm so bad at the initials)>_<

So true. FZ has realized his own feeling and keeps pushing HS, but he is still showing affection more like a man towards a woman not as a shifu and his disciple. Even got jealous when HS closes with another man (in later episodes). In the end HS is the one who will hurt the most.

@PeachBlossomGoddess: oh thank you, then that makes sense. I totally forgot General Tang's feeling towards Tilan, but I thought only one side love. I saw in one of the teaser, FZ mentioned that FS is not only FS but also Madam Pearl of Dazheng. Does that title mean the empress?

Judging from Shifu's characters, I already have suspected the ending would be like Princess Weiyoung. ML hides his wound or sickness or being poisoned then coughing blood, and diagnosed will have short life, so he pushes FL to the second ML to be happy in his own way of caring. BTW, seeing teasers of the next episodes, I don't understand why the emperor will have affection towards FS, let alone an empress, while his relationship with Princess Tilas is getting better. Although we saw the spoilers and opening scenes and know FS will later on become a powerful woman besides the emperor, but I just can't see any chemistry between them.....yet. I'm grateful if anyone who read the novel and have already known the story better would explain it to me. =D At very least this drama is updated almost every day, so the answer will come without waiting too long.

It’s indeed getting more and more interesting. Although HS will marry the emperor, I hope at least shifu will still alive until the end. It’s really a good thing we can expect new episodes almost every night. 🥰😊

I wonder in the opening there is a wedding scenes FH and shifu, whether will it really happen or just FH romantic imagination (like her daydreaming of her shifu in the early episodes). Because now the story really supports the emperor and Tilan while the synopsis tells that emperor will have affection for FH after he knows she is a girl.

Yes. Actually while watching I always hope he would be better to throw up blood now, so he could be cured like Fang Haishi, rather than later when it's already too late. Fang Haishi was already twice in critical condition so far, but she couldn't hide it, that's why she could get treatment fast and recovered fast. While Fang Jianming keep his condition hidden. Even up to ep 18, everybody focused on Fang Haishi's recovery, while Fang Jianming's condition was not mentioned any longer. >_<

Just watched up to ep 18. So far I did't see Fang Jianming drink any medicine even after Fang Haishi recovered. It that means he is still poisoned? I don't want he'll die at the ending and leave Haishi alone especially when they have realized their own feelings. Until now he didn't seem showing any side effects from the poison, usually the story went like that, then after everything going well ML would throw up blood then somebody would diagnosed that the poison had accumulated in his body which already beyond help and only have few years to live. Similar with Princess Weiyoung and other tragedy story. Fang Jianming, please drink some medicine now >_<
