### Summary
A significant revelation confirms that the white-haired "Siyos" are frauds who stole their healing abilities by consuming the blood of true Siyos like Bayan. Their greed has triggered a curse, a form of divine retribution that causes the stolen power to consume their bodies, dooming them to a slow, inevitable death. This development thwarts Bayan's long-held desire for personal revenge, leaving her feeling lost and unfulfilled now that the opportunity to make her tormentors suffer has been taken from her. While this unfolds, subplots intensify as the second male lead, Karan, shows clear signs of developing romantic feelings for Bayan, becoming protective and emotionally invested in her well-being. Simultaneously, suspicion has solidified around the Emperor's aide, Hyul, who is now widely believed to be a traitor feeding Karan’s faction with hateful and speculative information about Bayan. The narrative thus shifts from a direct revenge plot to the unfolding consequences of the Siyo curse, while building romantic tension and confirming a political betrayal within the Emperor's inner circle.
