### Summary
Based on the provided materials, the introductory chapter establishes the central conflict surrounding Lord Erden Halstead's severe self-esteem issues regarding his appearance. Despite being perceived as exceptionally handsome by readers, Erden considers himself a "hideous" monster and attempts to divorce his wife, Letitia, believing he is a burden to her. Letitia actively works to prevent this separation. However, her methods have drawn significant criticism from the readership. Many readers question why she doesn't simply reassure Erden that he is not ugly, with some labeling her failure to affirm his appearance as manipulative, toxic, or a form of gaslighting. This has sparked a debate, as other readers who claim to have read further suggest the prologue is misleading and that a curse is the true reason for her silence, hinting at a more complex plot than is initially apparent. The chapter effectively frames the core dynamic around Erden's profound insecurity and Letitia's controversial handling of it.
