### Summary
The chapter plunges Han Nokyoung into a new crisis, as the previous cliffhanger phone call unleashes a devastating public scandal orchestrated by his vengeful ex-lover, Jang Hyunjae. A malicious news story surfaces, falsely implicating Nokyoung in a sordid affair and triggering a swift, vicious backlash from the public. This calculated attack leaves Nokyoung heartbroken and in tears, as his determined efforts to atone for his past are once again sabotaged. In the midst of his despair, Kang Junil makes a sudden and dramatic appearance to comfort him. Readers were deeply moved by Junil’s visible worry and protective demeanor, but also widely commented on the logistical impossibility of his arrival, as he seemingly teleported into Nokyoung's private room three hours before their scheduled date, looking as if he had run there. The chapter also delivered a significant plot reveal regarding the acid attacker from Nokyoung’s first life, with reader comments indicating the culprit was the sister of the actor Nokyoung drove to suicide, a revelation many found both shocking and fitting. The overwhelming reader sentiment is one of intense fury towards Hyunjae and his accomplices, profound sympathy for Nokyoung’s suffering, and strong emotional investment in Junil’s role as his unwavering protector.
