Guest #7,
I don't think there is any new news for this moment. The show is
long over and and I don't heard any news about sequel or any other
development.
If you can't get enough of it, the source material, novel "The
Promotion of a Crown Princess" is available online for free, but of
course it's in Chinese. Someone has started an English translation,
but so far only manage to do the first chapter and I think the
effort is now abandoned. There is also another person, a drama
reviewer, who partially translated the last chapter into English.
So at least the first chapter and some part of the last chapter are
available in English. Just Google.
(Spoiler ahead)
So basically what the novel is about actually? I have not finish
reading it but from what I have read and from the discussion on the
Internet it seems that it is largely similar to the series with
some differences. In the novel it is actually explained quite early
about what actually happened: A heaven official made a mistake. The
original crown princess was supposed to be born as a boy and the
modern man was supposed to be born as a girl. To rectify the
mistake, the official switches both of them. So we know earlier
what actually cause the swap and we also know that the likelihood
of the new princess to return to her original body in modern time
is quite low. And indeed, she does stay as a woman in the end. Too
bad the novel doesn't show what happened in the modern time with
the original princess now in that playboy's body! The adaption to
modern life would certainly be a lot harder for him than for the
new princess.
It seems that the princess (later empress) and her husband, the
prince (later emperor) are both quite politically adept than their
series counterparts. It is arguable whether she really fall in love
with her husband in the end. What is clear is that the emperor does
love her, otherwise she would have died many times already,
considering her many plots against him. In fact, it could be said
that, despite her political savvy, most of her problems are
self-inflicted. She seems like someone who has watched too much of
Games of Thrones and Chinese period dramas and has a dark view of
what palace life ought to be. If you like a darker version of the
princess this novel is for you, but as I said only the first
chapter and part of the last chapter are available in English.

Bit more about the book's final chapter (don't know if this is the
same thing you saw or not) - it's a translation of the end.
