Awakening mid-burial defines this episode: a woman who just transmigrated into Dee jolts awake as gentlemen try to seal her coffin after three months of slow poison. She stops the burial and learns Marad's rule: females supply spiritual power that prevents males’ beastification. Locals plead for her aid as their power drains; she refuses to yield and concentrates until her spiritual energy returns, averting immediate transformation. Relief flips to political attack—court figures demand a divorce and publicly call her a fake heiress. She answers, "Bring it on!", leaving her royal status unresolved and the court divided.
