### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the primary romance between Bayan and Emperor Dhan to focus on the dynamic between Bayan and the second male lead, Karan. The current plot centers on an unexpected "exam cramming" arc, with Karan intensely tutoring a recently literate Bayan to achieve the highest score on a difficult official exam. This development has generated conflicting reader interpretations: some view Karan as a genuinely supportive figure pushing Bayan toward self-sufficiency and character growth, while others are suspicious of his motives, questioning how this feat would dispel rumors of witchcraft and fearing it could backfire into accusations of favoritism. The romantic tension of the emerging love triangle persists, with Karan's inability to hide his affection for Bayan solidifying his role as a rival and polarizing the audience. Many readers express a strong desire for Dhan's return and a renewed focus on the main couple, though a significant portion has developed an appreciation for Karan's character. The chapter also introduces a new "Granny" figure, raising concerns about Bayan's past trauma, while readers continue to speculate on the prophecy identifying Dhan and Karan as two of three divine beasts fated to serve Bayan.
