### Summary
The current chapter shifts focus to Crown Prince Muyeong, generating a deeply divided reader response centered on a violent incident. The main event involves Muyeong murdering his attendants during a bath, which has led a significant portion of the readership to label him a "psycho," "serial killer," and "trash." These readers express disgust at his brutality, reinforcing his established reputation as a violent womanizer and questioning his viability as a romantic lead. However, an equally vocal group speculates that there is a justifiable reason for his actions, theorizing that the attendants were assassins or that Muyeong suffers from severe PTSD or trauma related to being touched. This camp views him as a "misunderstood" character whose backstory will eventually explain his behavior. Amid the debate, some readers interpret the "bloodbath" through a comedic lens, comparing Muyeong's violent aversion to bathing to that of a pet cat or dog and admitting the series' tone makes it hard to take the murders seriously. In a point of consensus, readers continue to praise the positive portrayal of the father characters, calling them a "breath of fresh air." The chapter effectively polarizes the audience, leaving them to debate whether Muyeong is an irredeemable villain or a deeply traumatized individual.
