### Summary
The narrative has pivoted to an intense flashback, revealing the original villainess, Eleanora, as a brilliant but ruthlessly abusive figure who subjected her obsessive lover, Adrian, to severe physical and emotional trauma. This depiction of domestic abuse and gaslighting has profoundly recontextualized Adrian's villainy, recasting him as a traumatized victim for a significant portion of the readership. The revelation has sparked a complex and divided reaction: many readers now feel deep pity for Adrian, viewing his obsession as a toxic dependency and hoping for a redemption arc, while others firmly argue that his tragic past explains but does not excuse his heinous crimes, including the murder of Renia. This backstory has also drawn sharp criticism towards the protagonist, Noa, who is seen as dangerously naive for letting her guard down. Readers express frustration that her compassion for Adrian's apparent vulnerability has led directly to a cliffhanger where she is incapacitated, placing herself and her family in renewed peril.
