I read the last two chapters (78–79) in Japanese (I bought the final volume for just $3 ). I was getting tired of waiting two years to read it.
Warning: spoilers ahead.
Ibrahim fails to kill Hurrem. He deliberately lets her live because he just can't bring himself to kill her. After that, Hurrem still wants Ibrahim dead after he declares during a celebration that the next sultan should be the one who carries Suleiman's blood.
Hurrem and Safik go to Ibrahim's house, but he has already committed suicide. (Ironically, in real life, he was actually executed by being strangled on the Sultan's orders.) Then there's the funeral and all that.
Afterward, Hurrem becomes Empress. We never see her greatest rival, Mahidevran, again. We also get a brief explanation of the deaths of Şehzade Mehmed, who died at 22, Mustafa, and Cihangir.
Finally, there's a time skip to Hurrem's final moments. She's surrounded by her children and her husband, and she ends up confessing some truths to him, etc. She dies, and then we witness the Sultan's death as well.
The ending feels incredibly rushed, which is a real shame. I've been following this series since 2016, so waiting ten years for this ending is really disappointing. Still, I have a lot of respect for the author's work.
