### Summary
While Verta’s revenge scheme continues by targeting the fiancé of a naive noblewoman named Rosalie—a cruel tactic that has divided the audience—the narrative focus has shifted dramatically to the burgeoning romantic subplots. The current chapter has ignited intense reader discussion around Prince Van Brandt, who is revealed to have frequent, intimate dreams about Verta. Fans are overwhelmingly captivated by his physical attractiveness and "wholesome," straightforward nature, which provides a stark contrast to Verta's cunning personality. This development has fueled a fervent debate among readers, pitting the "golden retriever" Prince against the silver-haired nobleman Blaine, who many feel is a more suitable partner due to his similar morally ambiguous energy. The strong appeal of both potential love interests has led a significant portion of the readership to advocate for a polyamorous relationship. This focus on romantic tension and the audience's eager anticipation for more explicit "smut" content has, for the moment, overshadowed the primary revenge plot, with many fans admitting their investment lies more with the attractive male leads than Verta's ongoing quest.
