### Summary
The narrative has taken a shocking and horrific turn, pivoting from the recent comedic interlude of Kasar's rejected proposal to a disturbing revelation about Seul Yun's family. Seul is left reeling after discovering a group of individuals who are all identical to her mother, a secret so profound that the look-alikes kill themselves upon being found. This plot twist has fueled intense reader speculation regarding the antagonist, Emperor Horson, and his connection to Seul's mother. The prevailing theories, supported by reader comments, suggest these figures are clones or robots created due to a deep, possibly obsessive, relationship. Readers theorize that Seul's mother was either a close family member, like an estranged daughter, or a lover who "betrayed" the emperor, possibly by eloping with the being Seul knew as her father. This revelation fundamentally re-contextualizes Seul's quest for revenge and her own mysterious origins, leaving the audience shocked by the constant surprises and the stark tonal shift into gore and psychological horror.
