## Chapter

### Summary
The narrative continues its widely criticized pivot into a domestic side-story, abruptly reintroducing the protagonists' child, Yeonhwi, after a sudden two-year time skip. This development has sparked significant reader confusion and frustration due to a jarring and unexplained gender change, with the character previously established as a daughter now being presented as a son. The chapter focuses on a clichéd and poorly received dynamic where Dhan competes with his toddler for Bayan's affection, a plot point readers find irritating and nonsensical. Audience backlash is further fueled by the child's unrealistic portrayal, as the two-year-old speaks and behaves with an adult-like intellect, which is seen as evidence of rushed writing and a lack of understanding of child development. Rather than resolving prior complaints about the couple's neglectful parenting, this chapter reinforces them, solidifying the audience's view that the main characters have devolved. This continued focus on a dysfunctional family side-story, which now includes continuity errors, has completely stalled the main Siyo revenge plot and left readers questioning the series' direction.
