Don't worry, I wont spoil it for those of you who haven't watched it yet. I just happened to notice a lot of reviews saying that they didn't like the open/sad ending. Now they're heartbroken.

To those of you who only want to see a happy ending: don't worry it's a happy ending, I'll explain it below. First, watch the series and then come back for this review. Don't cry!

*SPOILER*
It is understandable that many people are confused about the ending. One thinks that Yun Xi is dead and the Duke is imagining her on the peach blossom field. The other one thinks she's alive because of the bracelet.

the thing is; this drama is based off of a novel and in the novel she survives, because of the power inside the bracelet. She survived it, but QX Shao tells the Duke that she died. He did that out of jealousy- he wanted to fool him. Yun Xi, however, goes to the Han family to recover from her wounds and then is taken by QX Shao to the Plum fields. He does not want to let her go and Yun Xi rests assured, knowing that her husband will definitely visit the fields and find her. And he does. That's why it's a happy ending.

The only scene that I can't explain, is the one where Shao cries over Yun Xi and tells her he has put her blood in the herb valley. He must've known that the person who took the bracelet from him, was Yun Xi's sister, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at the person with a smile, right? I think this is where the novel clashed with the drama. It caused quite a bit of confusion.

Hope I healed a few broken hearts out there, make sure to read the novel online!
