### Summary
The historical flashback arc continues, focusing on the deeply controversial relationship dynamic between the reincarnated soulmates. Following a non-consensual encounter, Hyo-un persists in his aggressive yet childlike pursuit of a conflicted Taehyuk, who struggles with the moral implications of their relationship given his pseudo-parental role in raising the dragon. This dynamic has intensely polarized the readership; while some find Hyo-un's actions endearing, a significant portion of commenters express extreme discomfort, citing the lack of consent, manipulative behavior, and the "icky" power imbalance as damaging to their enjoyment. The current plot centers on Hyo-un creating a mystical orb to share his life force with Taehyuk. This has led to widespread reader speculation that the obsessive antagonist will intervene, preventing Taehyuk from receiving the orb. This anticipated failure is theorized to be the tragic event that causes Hyo-un's life-threatening illness in the modern timeline, directly connecting the past tragedy to the present crisis. Overall, reader sentiment reflects a strong desire to move past the uncomfortable flashback and return to the present-day storyline.
