### Summary
The fallout from Emperor Kahir's clumsy, ruffled-shirt confession leaves Rosalyn flustered but no closer to understanding his true feelings. As the empress selection exam proceeds, the central conflict shifts from the couple's mutual obliviousness to overt political sabotage. The Dowager Empress escalates her villainy, resorting to threats and bribes to pressure a conflicted Baroness into rigging the competition against Rosalyn. While readers express growing frustration with the protagonists' romantic denseness, their collective fury is now directed at the Dowager and her loathed accomplice, Ella, as they conspire to derail Rosalyn's unintentional path to the throne.
