### Summary
The central deception has given way to a toxic psychological game, with Emperor Garyun now fully aware that his general, Lokheun, is also the woman "Yeon" he obsessed over. Feigning ignorance, he manipulates her at every turn, aiming to force a confession while simultaneously attempting to "clip her wings" and control her future as a martial artist. This possessive dynamic, complicated by Lokheun's recent adoption of a child, creates a jarring whiplash for both her and the audience, as Garyun vacillates between treating her as a lover and a subordinate he can dismissively silence. While some fans see their fraught interactions as romantic, many readers are frustrated by the lack of boundaries and the emperor's increasingly cruel behavior. The plot continues to layer new mysteries, such as a case involving a self-mutilating painter and a mystical grass-weaver, further burying the story's foundational premise. The original, poignant quest for Lokheun to save her fugitive father has become a distant memory, completely overshadowed by the high-stakes imperial power play and a romance teetering on the edge of emotional abuse.
