### Summary
After a long hiatus, the series returns by pivoting from the immediate cliffhanger—Taehyuk falling to his apparent doom while searching for a cure for the comatose Hyo-un—into a tragic historical flashback. This new arc confirms reader theories about reincarnation, revealing the past lives of the main characters during what appears to be the Joseon dynasty. The central, shocking revelation is the true nature of Taehyuk's older brother, whose past incarnation is depicted as a dangerously obsessive and manipulative figure with a creepy, incestuous-like fixation on Taehyuk's past self, a "lord." This backstory re-contextualizes the modern brother's suspicious behavior and manipulative attempts to interfere with Taehyuk's relationship, leading readers to overwhelmingly conclude that he remembers his past life and continues to harbor his twisted obsession. The flashback also strongly suggests that Taehyuk is the reincarnation of the lost lover Hyo-un has been mourning, cementing their fated bond. While fans celebrate the return of "daddy Taehyuk and his crybaby dragon," the chapter establishes the brother as a primary antagonist whose threat spans across lifetimes, promising significant angst and conflict.
