### Summary
Reader focus has pivoted from the manga's "smut" tag to a deep investment in the slow-burn plot and character dynamics. The relationship between the guard, Samwol, and the exiled king, Hwan, is developing with a sense of innocence and cuteness that has many readers forgetting the genre's explicit promise. Hwan is consistently perceived not as the monster of rumor but as a gentle, respectful, and protective "puppy," whose endearing vulnerability contrasts sharply with his reputation. Meanwhile, Samwol is viewed as sweet but dangerously naive, with readers questioning her lack of caution in trusting the disgraced monarch so easily. Despite their praised chemistry, the narrative remains tense, shadowed by the immediate external threat of Samwol's stalker, Deok, who is poised to expose their forbidden bond. This precarious situation fuels reader anxiety and deepens their curiosity about the truth behind Hwan's exile and the heinous rumors that led to his downfall, making the compelling story the primary draw over any anticipated explicit scenes.
