## Chapter
- number: 17
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The chapter delivers a highly anticipated romantic climax, subverting the previous chapter's overwhelming sense of tragic foreboding. Hwan's direct love confession has elicited an intensely emotional and positive response from readers, who celebrate the "wholesome" and "cute" moment after a period of high anxiety. While many readers comment on the "fast" pacing of this development, others justify it by pointing to the in-story passage of time from winter to spring, which allowed for a natural progression of the characters' feelings. The confession is overwhelmingly seen as the immediate prelude to the "spicy" and "smutty" content that the audience has been craving, with expectations for "snu snu" now at an all-time high. However, this joy is tempered by a lingering sense of dread for some, who fear that such a rapid, happy development is a precursor to future drama and heartbreak. Amid the romantic excitement, readers have also solidified their narrative theories, firmly blaming the antagonist Deoki for past tragedies like the death of Samwol's father and absolving the main couple of any guilt.
