### Summary
The narrative focus shifts to Crown Prince Muyeong's internal perspective, a development largely celebrated by readers. His comical and extensive analysis of his newfound feelings for Hwayeon, which he misinterprets as hunger or a strange illness, is a primary source of amusement. This portrayal of an emotionally clueless "beast" has led many to speculate that the notorious rumors about his violent and womanizing nature are greatly exaggerated, especially given his apparent inability to even hug her. The dynamic is widely perceived as "cute" and "fluffy," with readers enjoying Muyeong's struggle as he unknowingly falls in love. However, criticism of Hwayeon's characterization persists from the previous chapter. Multiple readers express frustration with her continued naivety, finding it inconsistent with the memories of the 31-year-old Yeonu Lee she possesses. A significant point of contention is her failure to ask for Muyeong's name or background after several intimate encounters, a detail many find illogical and detrimental to her credibility as a future empress. Thus, while the chapter successfully endears Muyeong to the audience, it also reinforces ongoing concerns about the female lead's lack of practical sense.
