### Summary
Following the resolution of the main conflict, the narrative has shifted to the tragic backstory of a side character, a loyal "messenger" named Joohwan. His story of devotion to a cowardly king, who bears a striking resemblance to Hong Dohui, has reached a devastating climax, with his soul seemingly crumbling. This event has deeply resonated with readers, who now mourn his fate and speculate on his potential for reincarnation, a possibility that appears linked to a manipulative, powerful "emperor" or "grim reaper" figure. This tragic arc is seen as a recurring theme, drawing parallels to the previous ill-fated story of Beom and Sooyeon. In stark contrast, the central couple's bond remains a source of stability and levity. Jo Seong-jae's return provides comic relief amidst the drama, while Hong Dohui has reappeared and seems to be confronting the powerful emperor, a move that raises questions about the safety of their hard-won peace.
