### Summary
Following Andy's widely praised confrontation with Richt over his callous treatment of Peony, the narrative centers on a minor but significant development in the main relationship. Richt finally provides Peony with firewood, an act readers see as the bare minimum of human decency after he had left her to suffer in the cold despite her fragile health. This small gesture is overshadowed by overwhelming reader frustration with Richt's emotional state, as he remains deeply in love with Hestia, the female lead from the original novel, causing Peony significant heartache. While the central romance progresses with "baby steps," the supporting characters continue to be a major highlight. Andy is lauded as the "best boi" for his courage and "savage facts," and his dynamic with Marie has solidified them as a fan-favorite "comfort ship," though their interactions have led to speculation that Andy has been "friendzoned." The consensus is one of profound sympathy for Peony's physical and emotional suffering, coupled with cautious relief at her improved conditions and continued impatience with the Duke's slow emotional progress.
