## Chapter
- number: 3
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The plot takes a significantly darker and more complex turn, escalating the tension established in the previous chapter. The king's instability is on full display, seemingly exacerbated by a new, suspicious advisor who readers believe is manipulating the monarch and plotting against Jin-seong. A central, disturbing event involves the king targeting a young woman, with comments expressing horror at her impending violation, which serves as a brutal confirmation of his historical tyranny. This grim selection process is linked to a discussion of Joseon-era beauty standards, where Jin-seong exhibits anachronistic knowledge. The horrific events unfolding lead readers to conclude that despite the king's earlier warning, history is proving to be a reliable—and terrifying—predictor of his cruelty, solidifying the perception that both the king and his new minister are dangerously insane.
