### Summary
Following a period of intense conflict where Richt de Stern's cruelty was widely condemned, the narrative has shifted to a more comedic tone, focusing on Peony de Garten's strategic and humorous attempts to win him over with food. Her primary method involves an abundance of strawberry desserts, a tactic readers have dubbed "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." A central event in the current chapter was an embarrassing moment for Peony, which she skillfully turned around with a "nice save," earning praise for her quick thinking and endearing readers despite the "second-hand embarrassment." While the underlying debate about whether Peony is admirably proactive or dangerously obsessive continues, the current reader sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, celebrating her as "hilarious," "adorable," and "intelligent." Consequently, the perception of Richt has softened from a cruel abuser to a grumpy but amusing "tsundere" reacting to Peony's sweet offensive. The chapter also drew attention to a new side character named Andy, who has quickly become a fan favorite. Overall, the audience perceives this development as a funny and welcome break from typical angst-ridden drama.
