Whew, talk about a gut punch! left readers collectively gasping, primarily due to *that* massive cliffhanger. Everyone is screaming for the next chapter because waiting to see the fallout feels downright illegal! 😩

The absolute standout moment? When Muon swoops in (maybe not via a door, lol) and catches the searing hot iron with his bare hand to stop Seolha. Fans are loving his protective, albeit painful, move. It’s sparking debates: He knows now! How will she explain? This heroic act solidifies his "hot" status for many, proving his feelings despite Seolha's doubts. 🔥

On the flip side, readers are scratching their heads (and sometimes getting a little frustrated) with Seolha. Why is she so quick to trust the shady Emperor when she’s known him forever? And why oh why does she keep painfully burning herself? Some wonder why Muon didn't notice the scar difference sooner, while others are just sad she feels she needs to do this. 🤔

Amidst the drama, there's still room for shipping – while many root for Muon, the Seolha/Handmaiden friendship is getting love too! Overall, delivered major plot points and emotional intensity, leaving everyone desperate for more of !

Okay, so The Tainted Half Chapter 23 really hit readers hard! Everyone is absolutely reeling after that intense ancestral flashback. The universal feeling? That heavenly husband was UTTER TRASH. 🗑️ Seriously, readers had low expectations but were still disappointed by his cruelty, only loving her for her beauty and powers before abandoning her the second she was "tarnished." The emperor also got flak for trying to make her his consort right away, though some found his intent less awful than the husband's.

But the most debated point? The heavenly maiden's reaction. While many felt deep sadness for her heartbreak, a huge wave of comments focused on how she burned herself and then... seemed to abandon her child right there?! 😱 Readers were shocked and even angry at her for leaving the poor kid traumatized, questioning her priorities and calling it "dramatic" and "foolish."

Ultimately, The Tainted Half Chapter 23 left everyone heartbroke
