## Chapter

### Summary
Audience engagement has shifted to a polarized debate surrounding the female lead, Hwayeon Ryu, whose characterization is a central point of contention. Readers are divided over her perceived naivety; one faction finds her childlike innocence "adorable" and "endearing," justifying her ignorance as a logical result of her 12-year coma and sheltered upbringing. Conversely, another significant portion of the readership finds her frustratingly "dumb" and "airheaded," arguing that her lack of common sense contradicts her retained memories of a past life as a 30-year-old woman. This has led some readers to suggest the transmigration element weakens her character, with several admitting to "gaslighting" themselves into ignoring this inconsistency to enjoy the plot. This debate is fueled by Hwayeon's continued cluelessness regarding the identity of the man she is secretly meeting, as it is implied that Crown Prince Muyeong is now actively concealing his royal status from her. Her actions, such as patting his head with affection and ironically stating she prefers men "dressed way more," highlight the dramatic irony of the "delicate flower" unknowingly taming the notorious "wild beast."
