### Summary
The narrative has pivoted entirely to character-driven romantic drama, with the current chapter intensifying the "shipping war" centered on the protagonist, Yuri. The plot focuses on a surprisingly mundane yet highly praised topic: Yuri's menstruation. This event serves as a vehicle to showcase the deeply caring nature of her guardian, Lester, who tracks her cycle, runs errands for her cravings, and helps her brainstorm modern sanitary solutions. Reader response has been overwhelmingly positive, not only for the rare and realistic depiction of periods in a historical manhwa but also for Lester's supportive actions, which have solidified his status as the fan-favorite love interest. This has fueled immense frustration among fans, many of whom now vehemently ship "Lester x Yuri," threaten to drop the series if he is not the main love interest, and lament his likely role as the "Second Male Lead." While the original premise of fashion reform remains dormant, this chapter deepens the interpersonal dynamics, highlighting the stark contrast between the adored, father-like Lester and the established but less popular romantic track involving Duke Aenon Lionheart.
