### Summary
The current narrative arc, centered on Bayan and Dhan's life as new parents, has devolved into a toxic conflict that has alienated readers. Traumatized by Bayan's faked death, Dhan has become intensely possessive, effectively imprisoning her under the guise of protection. This has been met with fierce rebellion from Bayan, who has been secretly training with a dagger. When confined, she deliberately cuts her own wrist, a calculated act of defiance that forces a major revelation: she deduces that the shared "divine orb" makes Dhan feel all of her physical pain. This dysfunctional dynamic is rooted in mutual hypocrisy, as both have kept secrets—Bayan about her self-healing and training, and Dhan about the true nature of their connection. Readers have condemned this regression in their relationship, criticizing Dhan's controlling behavior and the sidelining of crucial plotlines like Bayan's revenge. The couple's infant daughter, Yeonhwi, is largely absent from the story, reinforcing the audience's view that she is a neglected plot device and that the shift to domesticity has undone the characters' previous development.
