So, this new extra is basically Sungyeon reincarnated from his previous life of losing hosik/married to the princess/having a child with the princess/being a master. He was reborn but carried clouded memories of his previous life. He knew he was in love with a person who had died and that he had reincarnated. This is all before he met Hosik (or reunited in the second life to be more accurate).
...
Kind of explain his strong possessiveness towards Hosik in the beginning chapters after he met (or reunited with) hosik.
probably like the second reincarnation…

I read in a comment below that this is the second reincarnation and in this reincarnation as well, they meet. They meet under odd circumstances like Sungyeon almost went to commit suicide until he heard a cry for help, went to check it out, only to find Hosik in trouble and he saved him or something along that line. I don’t know, haven’t checked the spoiler myself but gonna assume this is true. And then of course the third reincarnation where they are actually happy with kids and whatnot~ But we know the story in the third reincarnation.
No matter what dreadful story waits in the second reincarnation, I know I will be fine cause they are happy in the third reincarnation. FYI, just gonna assume second reincarnation is not so happy judging by the black n white beginning, and that we are nips deep in a very sad/tragic territory.
So, in a way, they had to die twice to attain happiness…but...happiness attained regardless.
this is before they were born??
