The maid Yisun set everything up.
She loved Mr Keum. Took revenge for his death.
Mr Kang chains ahjin by the ankle in his bedroom, turns him into his personal whore, addicts him to drugs.
Miss Kottnim gets taken because she knows too much.
Shows back up in chapter 43. Confronts Mr Kang about ahjin. Tells him it was Yisun behind everything.
Up to chapter 43 he's still mistreating Ahjin.
Chapter 44 he goes talk to Yisun.
She happily admits everything
Chapter 45 Ahjin attemps suicide with a blade mr park had hidden inside a cooked fish for Ahjin.
Chapter 46 Miss Kottnim stabs mr Kang in the gut with glass.
From chapter 46 to 58 mr Kang tries to make amends.
Chapter 57 Ahjin gets kidnapped by mr park and two fingers are cut off and sent to mr Kang separately.
They die holding each other in chapter 59.
Chapter 60 Ahjin wakes up at age 27. Reborn in modern times and mr Kang is his secretary.
Mr Kang remembers everything but that isn't revealed until later. Mr park and a few others are reborn with their memories. Causes trouble but over quickly.
In this life mr Kang is completely devoted to Ahjin and only Ahjin.
Hope that helps.
Omg thank you so much! This does help immensely! I guess I’ll skim through until Chapter 60! Thanks again <3!!!
I am truly hooked on this story, the mystery is fascinating and I am not one to shy away from toxic black flag BLs but everyone is making such a fuss in the comments, I am terrified to read. Can anyone just tell me exactlyly what happens? who framed him? How does he end up dying? I know he ends up getting tortured by the ML, but I don’t know I think I want to skip that part, I have a really soft spot for this uke in particular for some reason, and idk if I can handle seeing him get tortured, but I also don’t want to miss that part of the story that reveals exactly what happened
