### Summary
The final chapter concludes the series not with an epilogue of the main couple's married life, but with a significant time skip of 150 years into a modern era. In this future, Elise and Linden have long since passed away but are shown to have been reincarnated. The narrative follows the new incarnation of Elise, who, without her past memories, visits a museum exhibit about her former life. She is captivated by a portrait of herself labeled "And... Linden's Beloved Wife," a detail that resonates emotionally with readers. Immediately after, she has a fateful encounter with Linden's modern-day reincarnation, establishing a thematic conclusion that their love is eternal and destined to be rekindled in every lifetime. This ending has been met with a deeply divided response. While many readers found the "soulmates" concept a sweet and fitting finale, a significant portion expressed disappointment and frustration. Key criticisms focus on the complete omission of the couple's life together, the lack of children, and the failure to resolve major lingering plot threads, most notably the Emperor's fate. The sudden shift to a modern setting also created confusion for some regarding the series' world-building, leaving the audience with a bittersweet sense of romantic fulfillment overshadowed by narrative incompleteness.
