The Remarried Empress ending explained

This page covers the ending of the webtoon's main story and what is known about the novel. At the time of writing, only episodes 1–4 of the 2026 drama have aired, so nothing here describes the drama's finale; that ending has not been shown or announced.

Before the ending itself, this chart lines up what the web novel, the webtoon and the drama each are, so the three versions stay distinct.

Spoilers. The webtoon main story ended at chapter 247 on 15 January 2026 on Naver Webtoon. An author note on 22 January 2026 marked the official conclusion, and WEBTOON published the final chapter in English. A spin-off began on Naver Webtoon on 29 October 2026. The English spin-off launched on WEBTOON with three episodes and new episodes on Fridays, as of 3 November 2026; it follows Navier and Heinrey's married life with their twins, plus "what if" stories. End of spoilers.

The WEBTOON cover of The Remarried Empress: the webtoon is the version with a documented ending, at chapter 247 in January 2026.

The WEBTOON official trailer, 1:23, for the comic rather than the 2026 drama.

Spoilers. The outline below comes from a fan-platform review that summarizes the original and from Wikitree's coverage. It is not a chapter-by-chapter reading of the webtoon, and the two summaries do not cover every detail.

• Navier marries Heinrey and has twins, a boy and a girl. The marriage and the twins are the part most consistently reported across the summaries.
• Rashta is exposed for lies, extravagance and wrongdoing, removed as empress, and dies after being confined. The same review says poison was the method. That detail is reported by one review, and other summaries conflict, so treat the method as unconfirmed.
• Rashta's daughter Gloriem is shown by a temple test not to be Sovieshu's child, according to the same review.
• Sovieshu is left in regret and guilt. The review also describes a breakdown and hallucinations.

End of spoilers.

These points are not settled by the sources we can verify:

• The exact titles and crowning arrangements for Navier and Heinrey.
• What happens to Rashta's daughter Gloriem after the temple test.
• Who ends up on the Eastern Empire's throne.
• A primary, chapter-level breakdown of the final arc.
• Whether the novel and webtoon endings differ.

We will not fill those gaps with guesses. If a primary chapter or an official synopsis answers one, we will update this page and the date at the top.

Alphatart's novel finished on 31 March 2020 at 325 chapters including a side story. We did not find a reliable chapter-level description of its ending. Secondary blogs say Navier and Heinrey get a happy ending and Sovieshu ends alone, but we could not verify those posts against the text, so we treat the novel's ending details as not confirmed.

The novel and webtoon are separate tellings of the same story, and no source we found compares their final chapters directly. The safe summary is the one repeated across the summaries we checked: Navier's second marriage works out, and Sovieshu's choice costs him.

No official source says whether the 2026 drama will follow the webtoon, the novel or a different ending. Disney+ has announced 10 episodes with a finale on 25 November 2026, but it has not described the finale's plot. We will update this page after episode 10 airs.

With 10 episodes, the drama cannot cover 247 webtoon chapters at the same pace. How it compresses or changes the last arc is exactly what is not confirmed, so treat any claim that the drama will end like the webtoon as speculation.
