### Summary
Following their politically strategic wedding, the "Dark Marriage" arc shifts to a private moment between Lokheun and Garyun, sparking a sharp divide among readers. The core of the controversy is Garyun’s remark that Lokheun’s "eyes are still those of a soldier," which he wishes would change. This has led to a heated debate over his intentions. Many fans are incensed, interpreting his words as a desire to strip Lokheun of her warrior identity and force her into the role of a demure, submissive empress, betraying the very strength he once relied on. They fear her character is being fundamentally weakened. However, a vocal contingent defends Garyun, arguing his comment is a clumsy but sincere expression of love. They believe he simply wants her to release her trauma, share her burdens, and feel safe enough to finally be happy, not to become a different person. This central conflict overshadows the celebration, with the ominous chapter title keeping anxieties high. Readers continue to speculate about future threats from villains like Ahmil Gwak and Juryu, while a new concern has emerged about Lokheun’s potential infertility after a past incident, contrasting with the fraudulent pregnancies plaguing the court. Despite the tension, moments of affection and Lokheun's powerful new empress attire provide a fragile sense of joy before the inevitable confrontation.
