## Chapter
- number: 15
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
The chapter solidifies the identity of the "ragged beggar" as Nine Forton, an exceptionally handsome man whom readers have overwhelmingly embraced as the true male lead. His official introduction is met with widespread excitement, with many comments praising his appearance as far superior to that of the "trashy" crown prince, Ian. The central focus is Melissa's audacious plan to bring Nine to an upcoming ball, a scheme some readers find brilliant while others worry it could backfire and damage her reputation. However, the undisputed highlight for the audience is the maid, Yona. Her deadpan, money-motivated personality has made her a breakout star, with her immediate change in demeanor upon being offered "double pay" becoming a key comedic moment. Readers celebrate her as a "mood" and their "spirit animal." While the chapter is largely praised for its humor and character interactions, a minority of readers express frustration with the slow pacing and Melissa's extensive internal monologues. Overall, the chapter successfully builds anticipation for the unfolding romance and Melissa's confrontation with the established leads, largely through the comedic support of Yona and the formal introduction of Nine.
