### Summary
The current chapter continues the series' lighthearted and comedic tone, focusing heavily on fan service centered around Richt's disguise. Readers reacted with overwhelming amusement and thirst to his tight-fitting outfit, with a particular fixation on a single button straining over his chest—a detail humorously dubbed the "legendary battle" and "nose-bleeding good." This moment is viewed as a culmination of the "he fell harder" trope, with fans praising the artist for delivering on character-driven comedy and physical appeal. Beyond the fan service, the chapter introduces new plot threads, as readers have noted the appearance of a mysterious key, sparking curiosity about its significance. The narrative also pivots to a brief moment of conflict when an unnamed character shoves Richt, prompting a "serious" and protective Peony to defend him. This role reversal was well-received by the audience. Finally, a significant point of discussion was the widely recognized cameo of Yuri and Jun, the main characters from "My Boo," another work by the same artist, Jeongseo.
