Yay they lived! That was a nice wrap up to the season, this is definitely one of my favourite shows currently. It'd be nice if Jinshi could just be forthcoming about his feelings, I'm still not even sure if Maomao feels the same though I guess she's not the most in-touch with her emotions. Maybe next season they'll stop tiptoeing around it. I'm happy to see Lady Gyokuyou become the empress too.
