### Summary
Following Taehyuk's confession that his initial claim to be Hyo-un's mate was a calculated lie, the dragon reacts with devastation, creating a portal and abruptly fleeing the scene. This emotional whiplash leaves readers in angst, though a dominant fan theory insists Taehyuk is, in fact, the dragon's true mate, a belief supported by Hyo-un's subconscious recognition of him and Taehyuk's own lifelong fascination with the dragon's portrait. The narrative introduces a new source of tension with the arrival of Taehyuk's older brother, who is met with widespread reader suspicion for his seemingly supportive but potentially manipulative advice to actively search for the dragon's real mate—a quest many commenters ironically note would simply lead Taehyuk back to himself.
