- Marriage
- Special/additional ending: married with children. The main ending is together and choosing each other.
Relationship timeline
- Episodes 1–29: For a very long time, Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei are not an official romantic couple. Their relationship develops through political cooperation, suspicion, danger, emotional dependence, and Xie Wei becoming increasingly protective and possessive. The chemistry is there long before the relationship is.
- Episode 30: Xie Wei finally crosses the physical-romance line with a secret kiss. After nearly thirty episodes of tension, the romance is finally starting to escape containment. 😂
- Episode 32: During the dangerous cave sequence, Xie Wei's feelings and possessiveness become even harder to ignore. The relationship is still complicated, but this is no longer merely political-partnership energy.
- Episodes 33–35: Xie Wei repeatedly protects Xuening during the escalating crisis. Their emotional attachment becomes increasingly obvious.
- Episode 36: Jealousy, emotional intensity, and another kiss push the romance fully into the open. This is the payoff Reese had been waiting an eternity to reach.
- Final Episodes: Xuening and Xie Wei ultimately choose one another. There is no repeated romantic breakup cycle once the romance finally comes together.
- Married With Children: The additional ending material confirms that Xuening and Xie Wei eventually have a real married life and children together. After that absurdly long romantic wait, at least the drama confirms exactly where they end up.

Relationship timeline
- The Original Tragic Timeline: The story begins with a previous disastrous lifetime/timeline that ends in death. That death/reset should not be recorded as a normal romantic breakup.
- The Reset: Liu Yueqing wakes before the marriage has fully played out again and tries to change her fate. She attempts to avoid the path that previously ended badly. This is pre-relationship avoidance in the new timeline, not a breakup.
- Pei Xun Keeps Choosing Her: Pei Xun continues pursuing and protecting Yueqing. His actions gradually make it harder for her to treat him only as the dangerous man connected to the previous timeline.
- Trust Replaces Fear: Their relationship shifts from suspicion and fate-avoidance into genuine trust and affection.
- Established Love: At the army outpost, Yueqing openly trusts that Pei Xun will return to her. They kiss, and their emotional commitment is unmistakable.
- He Risks His Life for Her: Pei Xun rescues Yueqing and puts himself in serious danger.
- Final Timeline / Husband Ending: Pei Xun appears in the final timeline as Yueqing's husband, and the two share an affectionate snowy reunion. The timeline mechanics may be complicated, but the romantic answer is not: They end up together.

- Secret Missions Interrupt Newlywed Life: Both spouses continue leaving their supposedly ordinary domestic lives for covert missions. They are already married, but each believes the other is much more harmless than they really are.
- Sweet Married Life Develops: Despite all the deception surrounding their occupations, their affection as husband and wife is genuine. The marriage becomes increasingly warm and romantic.
- Their Secret Identities Collide: Eventually, the two dangerous professionals begin realizing that their supposedly innocent spouse is not quite so innocent. The resulting conflict comes from identity secrecy and danger, not from a prolonged "I don't love you anymore" breakup.
- They Work Through the Truth: Once the truth is exposed, the relationship survives. They become even more entertaining as a capable married couple who now understand what the other person can actually do.
- Married and Together: The drama finishes with the main couple together and the marriage intact.

Relationship timeline
- Rebirth + Marriage Setup: After being murdered and reborn in Leng Li's body, the female lead enters a marriage with a prince who is hiding far more intelligence and ability than he lets the world see. Both characters are carrying secrets, so the marriage begins with incomplete honesty.
- The Marriage Starts Feeling Real: As they spend more time together, the relationship develops beyond its original circumstances. Their chemistry was one of the reasons Reese continued watching despite not being completely sold on the female lead.
- Feelings Deepen Under All the Secrets: The couple becomes emotionally important to one another even while hidden identities, revenge plans, and deception remain around them.
- Approximately Two-Year In-Story Separation: A hidden-truth/deception conflict leads to the couple spending roughly two years apart in story time. However, the drama moves through the separation relatively quickly onscreen, which Reese appreciated. The romantic relationship breaks down: One Breakup, followed by reconciliation. Whether their marriage legally ended is a separate uncertainty.
- Reunion: They reunite, but Reese found the actual reunion underwhelming considering how long they had supposedly been separated in the story.
- Reese Stops Here: Personal viewing stops here; a separately labeled researched finale follows. Shen Zhiyi did not personally watch later episodes. Retained research supports the married Emperor/Empress finale.
