### Summary
The central dramatic irony intensifies as Emperor Garyun remains oblivious that his trusted male general, Lokheun, is the same mysterious woman, "Yeon," he romantically obsesses over. Lokheun endures this painful duality and Garyun's harsh training regimen to save her fugitive father, who has been on the run since avenging the murder of her mother, Ayeon Baek. While readers are captivated by the tension, some question the emperor's inability to pierce her magical disguise, and opinions are divided on Lokheun's emotional vulnerability. The plot thickens with the introduction of a new character, Lee Seol, whose striking resemblance to the emperor has ignited fervent fan speculation that she is his long-lost sister. Her poised, unflinching reaction to Lokheun's "knightly" behavior has only deepened the mystery, sparking fears she may become a romantic rival, further complicating the mounting court pressure for Garyun to choose a bride and heightening anticipation for the chaotic reveal of Lokheun's true identity.
