## Chapter
- number: 138
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The narrative shifts from the widely criticized domestic side-story to a new external conflict, centering on a tense confrontation between Bayan and an unnamed, arrogant male antagonist. This new character exhibits a misogynistic attitude, underestimating Bayan and disrespecting an elderly woman, provoking a unified and hostile reaction from readers. Audience commentary indicates strong support for Bayan, with fans enthusiastically predicting she will deliver a violent "smackdown" and that the antagonist is "a goner" for having misjudged her. This reaction is consistent with Bayan's character development from a victim into a formidable strategist known for dealing ruthlessly with her enemies. While this chapter moves away from the dysfunctional family dynamic, lingering narrative problems persist. Reader comments confirm that the abrupt and unexplained gender change of the main couple's child continues to cause significant confusion, highlighting ongoing continuity issues that have plagued the recent arc. It remains unclear whether this new confrontation marks a return to the stalled main Siyo revenge plot or is simply another narrative diversion.
