### Summary
Resolving the previous chapter's cliffhanger, Bayan's turn at the concubine talent showcase culminates in an unexpected and clever victory. Instead of a traditional artistic performance, she showcases her intellect by reciting a book passage, effectively using "knowledge as power" to outwit her rivals. This display of intelligence delights Emperor Dhan, whose deep affection is evident as he proudly supports her, and it is revealed that he was behind the plan to elevate her rank. However, the triumphant mood is quickly undercut by a new, ominous development: a mysterious cut on Bayan's hand that has failed to heal. This alarming detail has sparked intense reader speculation, with theories suggesting her self-healing powers are diminishing, perhaps as a consequence of Dhan drinking her blood, or that the wound was inflicted by a poisoned weapon. The immediate danger is amplified by the persistent scheming of a rival purple-haired concubine, whose smug smirk confirms Bayan is now a target. While Bayan and Dhan's bond deepens, her victory has made her a focal point for deadly court politics, and the potential failure of her powers introduces a grave new vulnerability to their union.
