The story will have a happy ending author already confirmed it.
The stepdad was basically dead at the time Baeksa took over. He no longer wanted to live so he gave up possession of his body to Baeksa.
It's just for some reason Baeksa is having to go through trials of sorts in order to gain full control so he can ascend.
I believe the stepfather's dead. Which explains why Baeksa actually took his body (maybe there's a thing where he HAD to take the body of someone who had just died on something), and which explains why he didn't answer Muyeon when he asked when he'll be able to see him again, in this case, either not to hurt him, or to keep him by his side. I smell a bad ending.
Can't help shivering whenever he calls him stepfather though.
Idk if I liked the person who adopted me, I would not call them that way (and it's usually the case in many similar tropes). Stepfather's story is so sad though... and Baeksa has to suffer through it.
The art is extremely beautiful, both of the characters are very pretty, Muyeon's design is geniuinely GORGEOUS.
