Oh that explains why he has soft spot for Dan's grandma and also pretty good at speaking with his elderly...
Y'all.... If you're not really familiar of how crazy "chaebol" can be, saying things like "fake their own death" "lay low as person" "run away" seems so easy but damn... Being rich and being a mf chaebol is sooooo different.
Take example from a well-known name like bang si hyuk, is he rich? Sure. But is he in the same level as chaebol? Ofc not. Not even close. Even i think ppl like lee soo man is not even close to what "chaebol" level can be. Like they literally the one that make South Korea like how they are right now.
The most well-known chaebol family is Samsung or Shinsegae group, but there's also some chaebol family that don't make appearance in public or even you can say they're pretty "unknown", like one of the largest casino and gambling scheme in Asia is held by korean chaebol too, but not many people know their faces. They even said if Shinsegae or Samsung collapsed that means the whole nation collapse too.
So for MC to even think about "run away" is like almost impossible UNLESS he got help from someone on the same level as his family (or even more, like i assume ML's family is somehow richer/?). So i can imagine the stress....
Nah... But, Yejun cooked him so hard in chapter 41 man, i enjoyed that chapter too much i was like, "YEAAHH KEEP IT GOING! KEEP IT GOING! EXCELLENT!"

Tw // MENTIONING OF PANIC ATTACK
Sejin is just like me cause everytime i feel anxious I'd feel like I'm moving in autopilot and when i finally snapped the shit out of it, i feel like i want to throw up or hit with a massive panic attack until I can't breathe for like a few minutes
Since i have PhD in yappitology, let me yapp for a bit (again, it's just my wild theory and 100% not true ofc)
I noticed something so far (six chapters in)
1. It's clear that jiwon and tae-oh met in their previous life, but what i found interesting is that jiwon is a shaman (a real one) in his previous life and i think he has to perform a ritual to exorcist tae-oh (or "taeho" as in his name in previous life)
2. I think it's clear that taeh-oh or taeho is a "baek horang" or white tiger in his previous life, beside the "ho" (호) in taeho name and "ho" in horang (tiger) have the same hangeul (korean alphabetical system), if you read it thoroughly, you notice a few panels that hinted him is a white tiger for example: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/to_chapter-1/pg-22/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/br_chapter-285942/pg-46/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/br_chapter-284643/pg-70/
3. Based on my first and second point, i think another hint could be the first chapter, you can see taeho got fangs ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/to_chapter-1/pg-4/ and claws https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/to_chapter-1/pg-5/ could also be another hint that he indeed is possessed by a white tiger spirit. Also jiwon addressed him as "my taeho" "my only God" if you familiar of how sacred "white tiger" in Chinese mythology, it's quietly well-known too that, white tiger is also part of the four of mystical creatures (vermilion bird, black tortoise, azure dragon)
4. It could be (or not) that Jiwon (in this current life) is also possessed some spirit (idk what is it btw), it hinted at chapter 2. I think it's either samsin halmeoni (goddess of childbirth and fate in Korean mythology) that visited him https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/br_chapter-285939/pg-4/ or could be he's actually indeed have spirit that possessed him but he reject it that's why he hasn't "unlock" his full potential yet. For shaman sometimes they got "called" and possessed by some spirits. But if someone "reject" them and not "fulfilling" their duty, it could make the spirit get angry too. Or another theory is, the spirit won't possessed him in this lifetime cause he has bad karma from his previous life, that's why the samsin halmeoni the one that gave him the candy, feel pity and feel sorry for him. Idk if it's really samsin halmeoni or spirit that actually possessed him.
5. I think Jeong Jaeseok could also entangled in this whole "past-current" life. And made jiwon (previous life) had to do that to the previous-life tae-oh/taeho. A.k.a jaeseok could be the one that make previous-life jiwon "betray" taeho. Idk about this but about jaeseok's tattoo https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/br_chapter-285942/pg-56/ does anyone know what it is and what that means? This also tattoo also made appearance in chapter one https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/to_chapter-1/pg-22/ could it be like God or war or something? I find it interesting cause i think Jaeseok is represented as a black wolf(?) in this painting https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_thread_never_burned/uu/br_chapter-284643/pg-38/ meanwhile, tae-oh is the white tiger one.
Now.... wait a minute, i reread this manhua from chapter 1 until 30 at least an i notice some things interesting here:
1. In chapter one when zhang li meet the grave robbers, they put him in the stone coffin and he kept hitting the rock until his hands bleed and i saw some symbols in the coffins, like the Ankh, Eye of Horus, Eye of Ra, Ba, Crook and Flail and all those symbols you mainly see if you're familiar with Egyptian Ancient Symbols, and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not familiar with this, but the Ankh symbol (looked like a cross and have a loop on top of that, it's also the first symbol that make appearance in this panel) is often associated with Anubis? Isn't it?? Please do cmiiw. That symbols represents life, death, immortality, rebirth. https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/see_you_my_king/uu/br_chapter-166144/pg-9/
2. I think Zhang Li's memory about Rocky/Stone is kinda disoriented a bit? Idk how to explain it but he started to see or notice every bit of Rocky/Stone's resemblance in everyone idk if it's due through trauma, ptsd or simply cause he misses him too much...
- at first yes he immediately thought that Mehemis/Mimi is the Stone/Rocky right? which is quite reasonable giving the resemblance.
- and when i read this part, https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/see_you_my_king/uu/br_chapter-166161/pg-7/ this red hair man (forgot the name) didn't even resemble Rocky a bit, expect the hairstyle. So i thought (at first), at this part Zhang Li was like, "huh?? Is Stone/Rocky is the one visiting me rn?" And then be like, "nevermind..." But then again when i reread this, Zhang Li RECOGNIZED him first as "red hair" and then having a doubt later? "He's the statue... No..." Or it's refer to a different meaning of "statue" here? (Not referring to Rocky), cmiiw.
- at chapter 22, here https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/see_you_my_king/uu/br_chapter-168518/pg-5/ when Zhang Li saw Mehemis' brother, at first he's also having a doubt that he could be Rocky, but i get it i mean they're kinda related in some way or another and have a similar look/expression on their faces so it makes sense if Zhang Li got a lil confused (eummm that white hair brother and Mehemis are related by blood somehow, right? or are they like not related by blood at all/? Adopted? Something like that/? I forgot sorry...)
- and NOW!! in chapter 114 https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/see_you_my_king/uu/nml_chapter-114/pg-6/ here, Zhang Li started to see Anubis' smile and thought it looks like Stone/Rocky when they tried to hide something.
REMEMBER EVEN THE FIRST CHAPTER MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT'S FROM ZHANG LI'S POV, SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS... WHAT IF... JUST WHAT IF:
— he actually trying to cope and saw Rocky's face in everyone he saw or even if that means when he only notice a slight resemblance in them.
— it could be a loop, that's why he actually started to forgot Mehemis' face cause he narrated this story from the future after he broke the loop, that's why even in his story that he currently narrates (the one we read) he started to see every little bit of Rocky/Stone that he can find in different person he met, like his memories started to disoriented.
— as the first chapter, it's clear that zhang Li narrated this to us https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/see_you_my_king/uu/br_chapter-166144/pg-21/ what if he wanted us to believe that Rocky has the same face as Mehemis cause clearly he loves him, yes ofc, but in reality, maybe... JUST MAYBE Rocky/Stone's face is not even look like Mehemis' or slightly different but he (Zhang Li) want us to see it based on what he wants us to see...
Someone PLEASE ASSASSINATE THAT PSYCHO BROTHER YIGON YOUR FAMILY IS SHIT ANYWAY, ALL OF THEM COULDN'T BE SAVED, ISTG, YOUR PARENTS ALSO SUCKS, PLEASE WAKE UP, THEY'RE BEYOND SAVING, RUN AWAY DUDE
This is what they mean when they said, "it takes a village to raise a child"
People like Sejin is people that I can't help but to feel sorry for, but i just don't have the heart to say it cause even if show them a little sympathy, i knew they wouldn't like it if i ever feel sorry for them. They don't want to be labelled as a "victim" cause they knew when they finally "admit" that, in their POV it's like admitting that they're weak and it could crush their mentality.
Like i knew their circumstances and where they're come from, it's just.... you can't help but hope fate could be a little gentler and treat them better. Cause you know what they're capable of if universe treat them better and gave them a chance.
I always loveeee to read author's note cause sometimes they're just so funny for no reason lol
Now this is how you make the excitement keep going for the next season (nods in approval)
Ah..... I see doomed yuri coming from miles away (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
