### Summary
Following the dramatic reveal of the original heroine's toxic past, the story shifts to a lighter, though intensely frustrating, conflict centered on Rosalyn's romantic obliviousness. Convinced her racing heart is a symptom of a strange illness rather than love for the Emperor, she seeks advice from the priest, Anthony, using the well-worn "asking for a friend" excuse. The reader base is in an uproar, collectively facepalming at the extreme denseness of both Rosalyn and Anthony, who only slowly realizes the truth. While a minority defends Rosalyn as an inexperienced workaholic, most fans are exasperated by the "idiots-to-lovers" trope, finding her inability to recognize her own feelings unbelievable and cringeworthy.
