### Summary
In the aftermath of the Crown Prince's devastating verbal assault, Eun-Woo confronts him with unexpected fortitude and dignity. When he seemingly offers her a higher station, which readers interpret as an offer to become his concubine, she firmly rejects the precarious position. Instead of accepting a life of "false hope" and unequal affection, she makes a counter-request that is widely perceived as her choosing to be expelled from the palace. This act of profound self-respect is a direct response to his cruel words about her infertility, as she chooses to walk away rather than be used for his convenience. Her decision leaves Prince Lee Hyun shocked and angry, a reaction readers label as hypocritical given his prior threats to cast her aside. The emotionally charged confrontation has earned Eun-Woo immense praise for her strength and wisdom, with many readers comparing the tragic, romantic tension to K-dramas like "The Red Sleeve." Meanwhile, the physical assault she suffered from the other court ladies remains unaddressed, as the Prince is still unaware of her burn injury.
