### Summary
The central conflict hinges on a devastating deception orchestrated by Dr. Ahmil Gwak and Lokheun's own clan. Emperor Garyun has been successfully tricked into believing that his pregnant wife, Lokheun, is dead, after her body-double, Seorin, was gruesomely murdered in her place. Consumed by a profound and misplaced grief, Garyun is completely unaware that the real Lokheun—already weakened by a fatal qi-draining condition and with her powers sealed—is being held captive by their enemies. This dramatic irony is compounded by the introduction of Seorin's infant son, who is now being passed off as the royal heir. Garyun's all-consuming sorrow for Lokheun has led him to neglect the child he believes is his own, a painful character flaw that has readers questioning the nature of his love and drawing parallels to the hundred chapters it took him to see through her previous disguise. While Garyun mourns a fabricated loss, the villains' conspiracy advances, leaving the true empress's life hanging precariously in the balance.
