### Summary
Following the passionate but frustratingly non-explicit consummation of their relationship, the story pivots from present-day romance to ancient lore. As Muon begins narrating a tale, readers are left confused yet captivated by the introduction of a "heavenly maiden" who is a dead ringer for Seolha and a mysterious, dying man who strongly resembles Muon. This has ignited a storm of fan theories centered on reincarnation, the origin of the imperial curse, and a potential tragic role-reversal between the twin brothers in a past life. While praising the divine artwork, particularly the characters' hair, the audience is now piecing together this new puzzle, speculating that the maiden's healing powers were the catalyst for a tragedy that now echoes in the present.
