### Summary
Following the main story's definitive conclusion, where Hong Dohui was rewarded with a human body to live a peaceful, mortal life with his lover Jo Seong-jae, the series has unexpectedly returned with side stories. This new content shifts the narrative focus away from the primary couple to resolve the ambiguous relationship between two secondary characters: the shaman, Joohwan, and the King of the Underworld. Fan reactions indicate these chapters delve into the pair's complex and tragic history, in which the King manipulated and poisoned Joohwan in a past life. This backstory fuels the current dynamic, with a now "simping" and "cute" King being met with justified coldness from Joohwan. Readers are thrilled by the surprise continuation but are overwhelmingly anticipating a story filled with angst, expressing significant doubt that this new immortal couple will achieve a happy ending.
