### Summary
The central conflict has escalated as Hwayeon's past trauma directly collides with Crown Prince Muyeong's violent nature. A pivotal encounter where Muyeong displays his "beast"-like ruthlessness results in bloodshed, triggering Hwayeon's deep-seated hemophobia stemming from her past life as Yeonu Lee. Her terrified reaction is misinterpreted by a distraught Muyeong as personal hatred, creating a significant emotional misunderstanding between them. The confrontation leaves a physical mark, as blood from Muyeong's hand stains Hwayeon's dress, creating a new and immediate risk of her secret being discovered by her overprotective family. This event marks a narrative shift, moving Hwayeon's trauma from a background element to a primary obstacle in their relationship. Meanwhile, the comedic subplot continues, with readers noting that Hwayeon's brother, Gangyun, persists in his role as Muyeong's unwitting matchmaker, "digging his own grave" alongside his father. While anticipation for the inevitable, chaotic reveal is high, some readers express impatience with the pacing of this central misunderstanding.
