### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the central romance to a convoluted corporate subplot, introducing a mysterious CEO and her companion, Ethan, who are widely speculated by readers to be alternate timeline versions of Mihye and Wigrun. Fans are actively debating the characters' identities, noting subtle physical differences in hair and eyes, with some convinced Wigrun would not be fooled by the resemblance. The reception to this development is fractured; while some readers are intrigued by the mystery and find Ethan attractive, others express confusion and dislike, calling the plot a "fever dream" and one character's appearance a "jump scare." A significant new concern has emerged regarding the long-sidelined Mr. Wu, as his interactions with the CEO are being interpreted as manipulative and non-consensual, causing discomfort among the audience who feel he is being deceived. Despite the new plot threads, the core reader frustration remains unaddressed: the primary relationship between the original Mihye and Wigrun is still physically unconsummated due to the magical contract, leaving their recent emotional breakthrough in a state of indefinite stagnation.
