## Chapter
- number: 8
- release_date: 2025-03-07

### Summary
The narrative focus has shifted dramatically to Nanmu's tragic past, eliciting overwhelming sympathy from readers who previously celebrated Pilgyun's psycho-protective obsession. The current chapter reveals that Nanmu endured horrific abuse at the hands of Pilgyun's biological father, a character now reviled by the audience as an "old geezer." This suffering was directly linked to Nanmu's deep and genuine love for a woman named Heeran, with readers concluding that the father figure deliberately sabotaged their chance to have a family. The audience is profoundly heartbroken by Nanmu's trauma, particularly his pained belief that he has a "worn out body," a sentiment they vehemently reject. This backstory has intensified the readers' protective feelings for Nanmu while also creating significant confusion regarding the convoluted relationships between the characters (father, son, step-father, lover). While the self-aware enjoyment of the story's disturbing themes persists, the new context adds a layer of profound tragedy to the "dad" dynamic, deepening the audience's understanding of Nanmu's vulnerability and justifying Pilgyun's violent devotion in their eyes.
