### Summary
The chapter shifts focus to political machinations, with readers celebrating Hwayeon's intelligence as she successfully uncovers the plot against the rival "Second Crown Prince." By connecting various hints, she deduces that the prince, often called "Blondie" by fans, is being deliberately used as a "sacrificial lamb" by his own family to ignite a war. This betrayal has generated significant sympathy for the rival prince, whom readers view as a comedic, "innocent dunce" they now hope will be rescued. The escalating tension is amplified by the appearance of a "squinty-eyed" character opening his eyes, a development readers interpret as a clear sign of imminent conflict. Amidst the intrigue, the chapter provides lighter moments, with numerous comments praising Muyeong's new, tied-back hairstyle as overwhelmingly attractive. While Hwayeon continues to have the "beast wrapped around her finger," the narrative now positions the main couple to potentially foil the conspiracy and save their former antagonist.
