### Summary
The confrontation between Dohwa and Lady Hyewon has escalated into a direct and hostile clash, reigniting their initial antagonism and provoking intense negative reactions from readers. Hyewon's threatening behavior has solidified her as the immediate antagonist, yet the narrative simultaneously frames her cruelty as a desperate act of self-preservation. It is now clear her actions are driven by a profound fear that the discovery of her own secret status as a flower maiden would result in the complete ruin of her and her family. This complex motivation has split the audience, with some condemning her outright while others defend her as a tragic figure whose aggression stems from terror, anticipating major character development. This dramatic conflict, fueled by a critical lack of communication about Dohwa's true goal of finding a cure, severely jeopardizes the fragile, potential alliance between the main characters and tests the very foundation of their shared struggle.
