### Summary
Following their politically strategic "Dark Marriage," the fragile peace between Empress Lokheun and Emperor Garyun is already fracturing under the weight of a new conspiracy. The central threat now emerges from Garyun's cousin, Gajo, who is scheming with a Lokheun look-alike to orchestrate a public scandal. Readers speculate this plot aims to destroy the new Empress's reputation with accusations of adultery, thereby destabilizing Garyun's reign and furthering the coup orchestrated by villains like Dr. Ahmil Gwak. This external political maneuvering coincides with Lokheun's internal conflict as she navigates her transition from a formidable general to an Empress. While she has embraced her new role and a more equal partnership with Garyun, there is an underlying tension between her desire to remain an active warrior and the restrictive expectations of her new position. Fans debate whether Garyun will support her agency or try to protectively sideline her. As the couple faces this new mission, unresolved subplots, such as the identity of the mysterious figure who impregnated previous empress candidates, resurface, highlighting the deep-rooted and multifaceted nature of the threats against the throne. Their newfound marital unity has not brought them sanctuary, but has instead made them a more visible target, forcing them to confront the rebellion head-on.
