As the drama progressed, more details surfaced, and fans theorized she was married as a young girl to Joong-gil.
Both characters are present in flashbacks of their past lives but are uncertain why. Based on the given details, Goo Ryeon died by suicide after facing a tragic event that led her to be ridiculed by the local townspeople. She was advised on whether or not she would take her life by her own hand or someone else would.
Joong-gil’s flashbacks also reveal that he killed villagers who spoke ill of Goo Ryeon. He also tried to save her when she was taken alongside other people. Another flashback revealed that she once tried to kill Joong-gil with a broken vase. Fans are determined that Joong-gil and Goo Ryeon were once married in their past lives in Tomorrow, but the emperor keeps it a secret for a reason.

The new teaser brings into question other theories in the K-drama
