## Chapter
- number: 30
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The narrative has reached a tragic climax centered on the side plot involving the curse caster, Sooyeon, who has apparently died as a direct consequence of his own magic. The catalyst for this fatal rebound is a specific rule of the curse: "one must not harbor any deep feelings aside from hatred toward the person to be killed." Reader interpretation of this clause is divided, with many believing the curse turned on Sooyeon due to his unrequited love for Dohui, while a more contentious theory suggests he developed complex feelings for his intended target and abuser, his brother Beom. In the immediate aftermath, Beom misreads the situation entirely, deflecting his guilt and grief by blaming Dohui for Sooyeon's demise. This act of misdirected vengeance sidelines the central conflict, as Seong-jae remains oblivious and asleep while the already-decaying Dohui now faces a new, human threat. The chapter solidifies Sooyeon as a tragic figure and pivots the immediate danger from the supernatural entity to the irrational actions of a grieving, abusive brother, compounding the peril for the main couple.
