### Summary
The narrative follows the fated romance between Shim Cheong, a beggar, and a noblewoman, Madame Jang, as they rebel against a world determined to see them suffer. Their relationship has weathered extreme external threats and internal betrayals, oscillating between moments of tender intimacy and profound despair. Recently, the story returned to a grim tone after the noblewoman's husband proposed to "adopt" her, a cruel act intended to erase her identity and invalidate her love for Shim Cheong, leaving readers with a sense of inescapable tragedy. The current chapter has violently escalated this emotional suffering into visceral horror. Based on audience reactions, a shocking and "grotesque" event has occurred, seemingly perpetrated by the nanny. This deeply disturbing act has left readers stunned and disgusted, confirming the manga's core theme that the couple's fragile peace is merely a prelude to a greater, more horrifying tragedy.
