### Summary
The central theory that Lady Hyewon, the mistress of Moonlight Garden, is secretly a flower maiden herself has gained significant traction, with new evidence suggesting her "bloom" is imminent. Readers have observed the flower mark on her body growing, and it has been revealed that a maiden's hair color can change during this cycle. This development has intensified confusion and speculation regarding her relationship with her bodyguard, Yoosun, who previously protected the protagonist Dohwa from Hyewon's aggression. While some readers theorize they are twins, raising incestuous implications, others recall that Yoosun may be an orphan, contradicting the twin theory. This unfolding mystery continues to divide the audience's perception of Hyewon. Despite acknowledging her beauty, many still condemn her for her past abusive actions toward Dohwa. However, a growing sentiment of sympathy is emerging, with some viewing her cruelty as a projection of self-loathing born from the same fate she imposes on others, a fate compared to a painful menstrual cycle. Amidst the focus on Hyewon's secret, Dohwa remains a consistently praised protagonist for her strong and defiant personality.
