### Summary
This chapter marks a significant turning point centered on Namu, who subverts his previous antagonistic role by actively resolving the conflict he helped create. In a moment of self-sacrifice, he prioritizes Haedam's happiness by stepping aside, seemingly pushing Haedam to finally reconcile with Hoon. This action has caused a major schism in the readership's opinion. A large portion of the audience has reversed their stance, now praising Namu as a mature and thoughtful character, expressing deep sympathy for his heartbreak, and hoping he finds his own happiness. Conversely, an equally vocal segment remains unforgiving, arguing that Namu deserves no credit for fixing a mess of his own making and that his manipulative actions should not be forgotten. Despite the divided sentiment, his decision effectively concludes the painful love triangle, clearing the path for the protagonists to finally communicate and resolve the central misunderstanding.
