### Summary
The narrative's central comedic engine of dramatic irony has reached a new peak, shifting its focus to Hwayeon's brother, Gangyun. In a moment of supreme cluelessness, Gangyun has become Crown Prince Muyeong's unwitting confidant and matchmaker. Completely unaware that the object of Muyeong's affection is his own sister, Gangyun passionately advises and vows to help the prince win the heart of this mysterious girl. This act of "digging his own grave" is the chapter's comedic centerpiece, as he actively orchestrates the very union his father, Chancellor Ryu, is desperately trying to prevent. Reader reception highlights this as a hilarious and beloved misunderstanding, with fans eagerly anticipating the chaotic fallout when Gangyun and his father discover he has been playing Cupid for his "precious" sister and the notorious "beast" prince. While a minority of readers find the plot mechanics enabling this specific misunderstanding to be slightly contrived, the overwhelming sentiment is amusement. Gangyun's actions have now directly entangled him in the secret courtship, pushing all parties closer to an inevitable and catastrophic reveal.
