### Summary
The latest chapter focuses on the return of Crown Prince Karyan, highlighting his unique dynamic with Jerry. While attending a crowded public contest, Jerry brazenly asks Karyan for money to buy a gift for his rival, Ilya. Instead of being offended, Karyan is delighted by Jerry’s shamelessness, as being treated like a normal friend rather than royalty unexpectedly raises his affection points. This interaction has led readers to humorously label Jerry a "sugar baby" and Karyan his "ewallet." The scene intensifies the central love triangle, with many fans expressing "second male lead syndrome" for the gentle Karyan, even while acknowledging Ilya's likely status as the main love interest. The narrative also reveals Jerry’s baffling assumption that the highly capable Ilya will be disqualified or lose the contest, a perspective that readers find illogical. Overall, the chapter reinforces the recurring theme of Jerry gaining affection through bizarre and unconventional means, further complicating his relationships with the two competing princes.
