## Chapter
- number: 46
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the main couple's life-or-death struggle to a controversial side plot centered on the brothers, Baek Beom and Sooyeon. Reader commentary reveals that Sooyeon, now a ghost following his death, has returned to haunt Beom, but their dynamic has unexpectedly evolved into a consensual physical relationship. This development has deeply divided the audience, sparking intense debate over the story's handling of incest and the abusive history between the brothers. Many readers express discomfort, while others are captivated by the tragic irony of Sooyeon seemingly falling for the very person he sought revenge against. The logic of ghosts being able to physically interact is a point of confusion, though some recall the precedent set by the initial spectral assaults on the main character, Seong-jae. This side story is poised to violently merge with the main plot, as readers anticipate the arrival of a shaman hired to exorcise Sooyeon. This figure is widely believed to be the malevolent entity from a previous arc, whose intervention threatens not only the brothers' fraught reunion but also the fragile stability of Seong-jae and the rapidly decaying Hong Dohui.
