Rather than focusing on a single event, the ending provides glimpses into the lives of the various women featured throughout the story, celebrating their individual successes and struggles. The central couple, Yuri and Duke Aenon, are established as being together, but the narrative deliberately omits a wedding or the birth of children. This choice proved divisive among readers; many praised it as a powerful subversion of romance tropes that reinforced the story's feminist mantra about a woman's worth extending beyond marriage, while others expressed disappointment at the lack of a traditional \"happily ever after,\" particularly the absence of a wedding dress in a fashion-focused series. Empress Cesia's arc concludes with her continuing to reign powerfully and independently. However, the ending is noted for leaving several plot threads open, such as the ultimate fate of Princess Arsinoe, a resolution for Lester, and any exploration of Yuri's reincarnation.
