The main villain - princess of the previous dynasty - is never mentioned again after she partnered with Jiya to start the war with northern Luo. However she tried to kill the MC and plotted so much against them over and over, yet we have no idea what happens to her. Does she continue to scheme? Did she get defeated? She just stopped being mentioned out of nowhere. Seems like a major flaw from the author, I highly doubt she just gave up and left because it would be highly inconsistent with her character settings throughout the whole novel.

also her 8th brother, Nangong Bao - he was never mentioned in terms of the ending, whether he ever got caught or not. There is an author note alluding to the fact that these are Nangong Fu’s problems, however we don’t really get any closure on this.

At least we get a tiny glimpse into Bayin and Jingwushu’s lives and those of the Chengli tribe.

the faked death towards the end with the pill

Xiao-die is Qiyan's younger sister who also survived the genocide. She's found and brought into the kingdom. Shunu is Jingnu's elder sister. The two end up meeting in the kingdom, and the two end up falling in love. Which is fine! But... considering Xiao-die's mental state, it's kind of odd. After what happened to her, Xiao-die has the mind of a child. Shunu completely took advantage of her and should not be romantically interested in her.

I've read two of Pdl's novels: jwqs and ruzhui. Both are her longest novels with around 300-ish chapters. In both of these long novels in which she dedicated so much work to, her endings are so... grah!!! What!!!!??? She writes so much and so well all to give probably the most lazy endings I've ever read. Amnesia? Are you serious? Qiyan goes through years and years of suffering and successfully gets revenge for her people and you're telling me that she... doesn't remember any of it? That she doesn't even remember the woman she loves either? That the only person she remembers is Ding You, and she hardly remembers him? Like it's so... annoying. And s*upid. It's frankly so s*upid. Even if she continued with that same point: Ding You getting her out of there by faking her death and escaping to hide in a town far, far away and Jingnu finding them after going nuts feeling like she was alive---even that without the amnesia would have been such a good ending. But it just infuriates me so much with the amnesia and forgetting it all. What was even the point?!?! The revenge was for her, but she doesn't even know it happened. Ugh. The whole novel went through this theme of not having anything like spiritual---not even cultivation! Suddenly, there's a magic toad??? Whatever.

Nomin, I didn't like how the author emphasized her mental health, and how godlessly he omitted her development, but it was slightly shown. How she became friends with the eldest princess. BUT let the formation of their love, with such a serious mental level of development of Nomin, was not normally leprosy. Their love thread looked ridiculous, to be honest, I understand that there was no way to reveal it better based on the time that was allocated to them. Probably it was worth giving them a separate branch with more time then. I do not know, to be honest, I partly believed their feelings and did not believe them. It's a strange branch for me.

Even more ridiculous, I see how the author "dealt" with the ex-husband of the eldest princess. Well lol, did he do that and ended up dying almost like a hero?? At this point, I was ready to strangle the author. Moreover, not only in this novel by the author, she sins so much. Well, thank you, at least he really died. Maybe rude, but after reading the novel I think. You will understand me. I won't name names, but in fact, I think he is the biggest antagonist of this story. On an equal footing with those ministers who killed Agula's mother.

Yes, I don't quite understand Agula's act with her "staged death", but only partially. If you look at it from her point of view, it really was a logical thing to run away at last and stop being not yourself. She gave up at the end, the only thing, even though she left a hint for her lover. She did a terrible thing to her anyway.

on one side the MC’s tribe was slaughter by the FL’s and on the other side the FL’s family was assassinated by the MC.

Why even bring up Yanru and Ningxiang (?) if it not to share the reason she changed from kind, exemplary princess to someone who... just wants to see the world burn? 304 was unnecessary but if it had at least given a more concrete motive for Yanru's actions and told just what on earth happened to her in the end, it would've at least had the merit of giving a greater sense of completeness to the narrative that the ending lacked.

like that wedding in the remote village

I understand she had to die because the past dinasty princess was born from a "star of bad luck" and she would bring tragedy to her loved ones, , , , but I still can't accept that sunu died just like that
