This comment section always entertains me. I remember when so many were convinced that Yeonjo had become so besotted he would never actually make a real move to enact his revenge. And now that he did everyone is now predicting they're doomed. I am only sure that Snob will give me a good story that only they know the ending of.

Happy to finally have a more concrete clue that Guwon has been putting on an act, at least to a certain degree, thus far. I never forgot the cold pragmatism that ruled his decision to rescue Jinwoo in the first place. Plus the other towns people are desperately afraid of him. (Although that may spring from how they feel about what he is rather than how he treats them? Fingers crossed.) I sorta hope his reasons for manipulating Jinwoo like this aren't too too bad? I think it must all be to some deeper purpose although I can't imagine what. Too much is still hidden.
This was such a solidly GOOD extra/side story. So many others read as pointless exercises of tired tropes or yet another copy paste repeat of a conflict already exhausted in the main story. This one plausibly pulled from the established personalities of both and their relationship dynamic while offering something new enough to make it genuinely interesting. Translator, you did such a great job too!
ty! :D
