### Summary
The central plot remains locked in Emperor Garyun's toxic psychological game, as he feigns ignorance of Lokheun's dual identity to cruelly force a confession. This tense dynamic is now fragmented by an abrupt supernatural subplot involving a new character, Aran, whose striking resemblance to Lokheun's deceased mother, Ayeon Baek, has been noted by readers. This development, combined with the recent appearance of a golden tiger god, has sparked theories of reincarnation or spiritual possession, further complicating a narrative already mired in unresolved threads. While many readers remain hooked, criticism is growing over Lokheun's character devolving from a skilled warrior into a "damsel in distress," and confusion persists over how many people are aware of her true gender. The introduction of this mystical link to her mother has completely overshadowed the story's foundational premise, leaving Lokheun's original, poignant quest to save her fugitive father almost entirely forgotten beneath layers of imperial power plays and supernatural twists.
