## Chapter
- number: 106
- release_date: 2025-03-10

### Summary
The narrative has taken an unexpected turn, diverging from both the main plot's dramatic cliffhanger and a previously teased future timeline. The latest chapter introduces a self-contained special episode, reimagining the central couple, Wooyoung and Kyungju, in a historical alternate universe ("sageuk"). This sudden genre shift has elicited a sharply divided response from the readership. Many fans are enthusiastic, praising the new art style, the historical court setting, and the potential for a fresh dynamic where Kyungju is the one pursuing Wooyoung. Comments express excitement for the "angst" and the novelty of seeing the characters in a different context, with some even hoping this AU becomes a full-fledged story. However, a significant portion of the audience has voiced confusion and disappointment. These readers find the new direction jarring and have difficulty recognizing the characters in their historical attire. Their frustration stems from unmet expectations, as they were anticipating a continuation of the story featuring the main couple's adult children, Wooju and Jiwoo, or side stories providing closure for popular characters like Liam and Genie. This creative detour, while appreciated by some for its artistic merit, has left others feeling disconnected and eager for a return to the established modern-day narrative.
