### Summary
The narrative's focus has shifted from familial strife to a conventional love triangle with the introduction of Eonyeong's handsome, silver-haired friend. This new rival immediately professes love for Mokrin at first sight and challenges Eonyeong to a duel, treating her as a "prize to be won." This external conflict is compounded by a central misunderstanding that has drawn significant reader criticism: Mokrin mistakenly embraces the long-haired friend from behind, believing him to be her husband. This event has intensified audience frustration with Mokrin's character, building on her pre-existing failure to communicate with Eonyeong about her brother, Mokhyun. Readers increasingly perceive her as a passive and indecisive "pushover." While she verbally questions why her consent is not being sought, her inability to firmly and immediately reject the advance by asserting her marriage to Eonyeong is a major point of contention. This new development pushes the couple's communication struggles to the forefront, solidifying the story's turn towards serious drama and away from the romance readers previously enjoyed.
