### Summary
Following their long-awaited consummation, the brief romantic bliss between Garyun and Lokheun (as "Yeon") evaporates into a tense morning after. The aftermath, noted by readers for its mix of steaminess and humor, sees a possessive Garyun questioning the fresh hickeys and bruises on Lokheun, who comically deflects. However, this personal dynamic is violently interrupted, yanking the plot back to the overarching conspiracy. An urgent message for the emperor is intercepted by his cousin, who kills the messenger to keep the contents secret, signaling a brewing war for the throne and introducing another antagonist that has left readers confused. This sudden shift away from the couple's toxic psychological game—in which Garyun still secretly knows Lokheun's true identity—forces the central conflict outward. The intercepted message confirms that external threats are closing in, poised to shatter their isolated stalemate and drag them into the dangerous political machinations orchestrated by figures like the sinister Dr. Ahmil Gwak.
