### Summary
The narrative continues to focus on the secondary plotline involving the messenger, Joohwan, and the possessive ghost king, culminating in an explicit and aggressive sexual encounter. Reader reaction is overwhelmingly centered on the "hot" and "sexy" nature of the scene, with many praising the expressive artwork that avoids looking like a "business meeting." A significant point of surprise and discussion was the subversion of expectations regarding their power dynamic; Joohwan was revealed to be the dominant partner ("top"), railing the king, who was the submissive ("bottom"). This has solidified reader perception of their relationship as a toxic, "S/M" dynamic. While Joohwan's current incarnation is seen as a "hot," "mean," and "badass" figure, the king is still viewed as a "toxic bastard" who "deserved" the rough treatment for his past betrayal. The chapter also provided a key clarification for confused readers: Joohwan does not remember his past lives, which explains his previously distant behavior. Despite the toxicity, the emotionally and physically charged chapter has left the audience highly invested, lusting after both characters while grappling with their painful history.
