### Summary
The appearance of a new male character has caused significant confusion, with many readers initially mistaking him for the Crown Prince, Lee Hyun, due to a perceived "same face syndrome" in the art style. This has led to widespread speculation that he is a "second male lead," a development that has been met with both excitement for potential romantic rivalry and frustration with the trope. The new character's arrival has also intensified the debate surrounding Eun-Woo's actions. While many fans continue to praise her as a strong and principled character, a growing number of readers express frustration, labeling her a "martyr" and "uselessly principled" for her refusal to protect herself from the other court ladies' abuse. This criticism highlights her passivity in the face of physical harm, which some see as weakness rather than strength. The new character appears to notice Eun-Woo's untreated burn injuries, leading readers to hope that the court ladies responsible will finally be exposed and that Prince Lee Hyun will react with anger upon discovering the truth.
