## Chapter
- number: 71
- release_date: 2025-05-14

### Summary
The narrative has fully pivoted to a large-scale epidemic, a plotline that draws intense and ironic commentary from readers who constantly compare it to the COVID-19 pandemic. Elise is simultaneously praised as a brilliant leader for her swift and effective implementation of modern public health measures—including quarantine, contact tracing, and the invention of rudimentary PPE—and heavily criticized for her emotional obtuseness. Her professional genius is contrasted with her personal interactions, particularly with Prince Linden. Readers express significant frustration with her "slow" and "petty" behavior, as she harshly rebuffs the prince's genuine concern, telling him his attention makes her "uncomfortable." This has generated immense sympathy for Linden, who is seen as a pining, heartbroken figure. The romantic subplot is further stalled by the relentless, unexplained teasing of a past event known only as "that day," which has transformed from a mystery into a running gag that exasperates the audience. While Elise excels as a physician navigating a national crisis, her trauma from a past life renders her unable to reconcile the devoted man before her with the one she once knew, creating a frustrating stalemate.
