### Summary
The tragic flashback reaches its horrifying climax as the heavenly maiden, pushed to the brink by the emperor's interference and her husband's cruelty, burns her own face with a torch. When her husband recoils in disgust, confirming his love was only for her beauty, she leaps from a cliff to her death. While readers condemn both possessive men—the manipulative husband and the meddling emperor—they are equally furious with the maiden for her extreme actions, particularly for traumatizing her young daughter who witnesses the entire ordeal. This devastating history solidifies the parallels to the present, with readers fearing Seolha is destined to repeat her ancestor's fate, caught between two men who resemble the emperor and his brother, Muon.
