## Chapter
- number: 30
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
The violent confrontation with Hyosin’s brother, Gwon Lee, concludes with shocking abruptness. Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger where San Baek was stabbed, a tiger—heavily implied to be the same one that previously scarred Lee—intervenes decisively, throwing the antagonist off a cliff. This "tiger ex machina" has been met with a divided but largely positive audience reaction, celebrated as a cathartic and satisfying moment of poetic justice. However, many readers found the resolution to be anticlimactic and suspiciously easy, expressing strong doubts that Lee is truly dead and anticipating his return. The chapter continues a jarring tonal mix, blending the life-or-death stakes with unexpected humor, as readers noted comedic elements like "fairy boxing" and the involvement of San's "badass" fairy aunts. While Hyosin is praised for successfully resisting his brother's manipulation, lingering concern for San's grave injury remains a key point of tension.
