I'd like to see the Maid, Chu Yi and the Bodyguard, Shi Wu in the background when that tree blossomed again. And this time, they were reborn as four friends.

I think that the Father intended the second poison to force the 9th Princess to sacrifice herself to save the Prince.
In spite of the FL in the blue gown in front of the aging ML, I think that he dies soon after and both will be reborn shortly.
I really hate bitter ending like this.

Sorry, don't know. Only peeked at ep. 1 &25 & 26, so far.

Says "To be continued."

From what I've read here, one of your two guess is right.

If their relationship and its arrangement becomes apparent or is deliberately exposed, to protect her reputation she may have to consider retiring or marriage. A lose lose situation. Not that it will happen.

The Marquis already knew about Qinyue being an YLBL slave and by following the Princess and by grabbing her just before she entered the ML's house, the Princess knew that he knew. She was pleading for Qinyue's life. By revealing that she was pregnant, that may have stayed the Marqui's hand. But I think that he had already turned by then,

YouTube has Love You Seven Times Full OST that should have the tune you are looking for.

I was mistaken, the trees have been spreading their pollen and blossoms in previous years.

The twist is that all of this tragedy started unwittingly from the Princess being too young.

The focus is on the two couples facing insurmountable obstacles. It is about the journey, not the destination. The interaction between the couples, between the women and even with the aides and the eunuch were pretty funny, sad and touching. The Princess cornering Kun to find out about the sister, he was between a rock and a hard place. When she cuts her hand to give blood in the cavern and he looks to the side, I think it shows him hiding his emotions, gratitude...., guilt...she is after all a Princess. The Marquis finding the bandaged wrist hidden under her sleeve and finding out that she and Kun were giving blood behind his back. The Marquis risked loosing both of his loves. Qinyue with the scissors. The Princess talking to Qinyue about having a get together with Changfen on New Years and the brief frozen smile that Qinyue makes. There are a lot of feelies that make re-watching favorite scenes a habit, that even the sledge and fireflies in the field comes second best.
The ending, hope for one couple and sadness for the other and a third happy ending for everyone that may be a dream. Thank you.

He has a less chance of surviving the Black peony soup three year therapy than his brother, but .... . But If you accept the happy ending in ep.22, yes, he survived.

The hero depleted his energy defeating the big villain. He wasn't able to restore his energy but the first tribulation as the boar with the FL showed that love was the way to restore his energy. He should have a showdown with the Devil god at the end.

The Prince of the Yilan village was killed after the New Year's attack. That's why he mentioned getting the kirin blood from the Princess. After the attack YLBLs were hiding amongst the general population. So when the Princess stumbled and fell and opened her cut again, two YLBLs were attracted to her blood. The tree planted around the city finally matured and blossomed after the New Year's attack and the first blossoming was shown when the petal landed on the FL's hand.
I think that the focus was on the love between the two couples. And the fight scenes may have been stretching the budget. You are right in that a great plot line wasn't expanded. Still have to look further at the sister's situation. Thank you hope that this helps.

There is a subplot that the Yilan tribe and the city (the Father and Marquis) are having a war of extermination. The Butterfly curse was a secret technique developed Yilan witch doctors to save people. How or why is not explained by Madam Yuan, when she reveals this info in ep.9. 4:13 Earlier in ep. 8, Chang Feng tells his brother the Marquis about an attack on Dongxun village by bandits five years ago and 48 villagers went missing. He believed that like his sister, they were made butterfly slaves. They are the women who made the New Year's attack, including that on his wife. The wife is from that village and that time may be when the she became a slave. But she is unique and may have been a "slave" or imbued with that power before then. The bad guys of this story are less obvious, as the Marquis has killed many Yilan villagers including their Prince (in ep.9) and the peony trees will kill any butterfly slaves when they bloom, whether or not if they were killers. The sister introduces the dilemma that the Yilan needed the Princess because she had the kirin blood. And they (and the Marquis) haven't found anyone else with that blood.
Will look at what was said about the sister and kirin blood. The ML was bringing some when she was shot by her Father.

One interesting thing in the last episode is that one person important to the story doesn't appear. It is Madam Yuan. The Father and his assistant are there, Ms Hong and the Chef are there, the eunuch and the Marquis's assistant are there as well as the two couples and the daughter. No mention of the YLBLs either. This could be a New Year's gathering without the monster story line.
But in the beginning of the episode, the daughter and husband still appear out of thin air again.

They changed an important part of ep. 22. Wrong subs, but watch and have your heart filled.

Me, too.
A thought. If there is another drama from the writer and director, maybe there will be four cameos that will make our hearts burst with happiness.
