### Summary
The romance between the beggar Shim Cheong and her noblewoman lover continues its grim, cyclical trajectory where fleeting moments of intimacy are invariably crushed by overwhelming tragedy. Following the recent death of a predatory monk, a fragile peace was shattered by yet another antagonist, pushing the audience toward a state of exhausted despair. This relentless suffering led many to view the prophesied "sacrifice to the sea" as a preferable, albeit tragic, conclusion to the couple's unending misery. The current chapter has evidently fulfilled this dark prophecy, confirming the previous chapter's horrifying cliffhanger. Reader reactions are a testament to the story's devastating turn, with comments expressing profound anguish, such as "bawling my eyes out" and questioning the ceaseless abuse inflicted upon the female characters. The overwhelming sentiment is one of inescapable sorrow and "angst over angst," solidifying that a pivotal, heartbreaking event—heavily implied to be Shim Cheong's sacrifice—has occurred, leaving the audience devastated by the very tragic fulfillment they once morbidly anticipated.
