So I finished it (skimming) and ending is pretty much as I summarized in bottom half of last summary:
-they meet Lin Jie Fei. Originally there were in an alliance and it was supposed to be friendly all around. Then he catches sight of MC and... well... sorta love at first sight? But more subdued since even he doesn't really know his own feelings. MC and ML are too busy flirting lol, esp. since ML just picked up MC and smooched him in public.
-as time goes on, Lin Jie Fei can't control himself anymore. He breaks the alliance and kidnaps MC. He also blackmails MC (threatening people I think) into taking the medicine/pill that destroys his martial arts. He doesn't touch MC because he wants to 'respect' MC but he's still intent on having him...... (SMH at this Lin Jie Fei, please go punch him in the face ML)
-ML in a snit. Lot of warfare going on, MC eventually gets reunited with ML. ML is ashamed/guilty because he feels he didn't do enough to protect MC and thinks he's just as bad as Lin Jie Fei. He'd like nothing better than to chain MC to his side, you see... MC can only sigh because ML doesn't get the difference lol -- ML might feel like that, sure, but when he has done something so shamelessly cruel as crippling MC's martial arts just to get him to stay? (actually, there has never been a single instance in this story of ML being anything other than doting/protective/shamelessly pleading to eat MC's tofu)
-a lot more war, now it's Lin Jie Fei vs ML. As I said, wheels within wheels for the last climax fight. It looks like Lin Jie Fei about to win, then ML pops out with people, and so on. Lin Jie Fei even blows up the ship? island? they were on I think so it almost ended in double suicide/loss. But ML and co manage to make it back. MC was super worried over ML and there's a touching line about how ML noticed that MC was trembling while they were hugging. All ML can think about is how precious brave MC is shaking right now and afraid all because of him, so he just hugs MC and keeps apologizing over and over again...
-of course, Lin Jie Fei captured alive. Oh, did I mention that ML crippled him? Cut his tendons good before the place blew up. *happy vengeful face*
-Lin Jie Fei in solitary in prison, having lost everything. Conversation with MC in which MC basically says he wouldn't fall for Lin Jie Fei, not even in a gazillion years and that ML is his one true love. Lin Jie Fei presumably lives miserably ever after.
-MC and ML rule wisely and live happily ever after, at least until MC dies (of old age) and ML takes poison and follows right after him. It's very touching because what ML says this time is different from his words in last life, telling MC not to go. This time he tells MC to 'wait for me' because he's coming with him. ;-; *gross ugly sobbing*
-some other info: they choose and groom as heir this other kid from ML's royal family (his relatives have kids they can sorta 'adopt') who grew up at their knees to become Emperor. This kid has a close relationship with them and was sad they died. He constructed a huge glamorous tomb for them, but bodies mysteriously disappeared. He knows the dark guard took them and disappeared as well.
-many years later, archaeological digs in a frenzy over the tomb, but can't find the bodies (because the dark guard took them lol, but only their heir back then knew about it and he didn't say anything). They even came across ML's 'unique' calligraphy lel.
-interesting factoid: Calligraphy is supposed to show a person's personality. Interestingly (and funnily) enough, ML's calligraphy is said to be unusually crazy and domineering (*cough, terrible, cough*), not at all refined like the persona he puts on. MC isn't surprised since only he gets to see the true personality of ML as the shameless rogue. We can assume MC's calligraphy is like him -- MC is said and known as being a well-rounded in every aspect genius gift from the heavens kind of person.
