## Chapter
- number: 88
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The narrative has shifted from the main couple to a side story exploring the tragic history between the shaman, Joohwan, and the King of the Underworld. The current chapter subverts fan expectations of immediate angst, instead presenting a lighthearted and intimate, albeit frustrating, interaction. In what readers describe as an "adorable" scene, Joohwan playfully teases the King, initiating physical contact—prompted by the King's flimsy excuse of checking if a ghost can get fat—only to abruptly withdraw. This leaves the King comically sulking and "angy," a reaction fans found endearing. A significant visual focus of the chapter is Joohwan's character design, particularly his floor-length hair, which sparked numerous comments. While the chapter's tone is overwhelmingly cute, readers remain acutely aware of the couple's dark past, with one comment perfectly summarizing their dynamic as "simultaneously the most adorable and most tragic ship ever," suggesting that the current fluff is merely a prelude to inevitable heartbreak.
