### Summary
Marking the conclusion of the main story, this chapter focuses on Doyun and Hayeon's emotional resolution and their quiet return to domestic life. The narrative pivots away from the high drama of past trauma to feature the honest and sweet conversations that solidify their hard-won happiness, leaving many readers feeling the ending was both wholesome and beautiful. A central point of tension from the previous chapter—Hayeon's comprehensive health check-up—is deliberately left unresolved, subverting overwhelming reader speculation that the results would reveal a pregnancy. This open-ended conclusion, confirmed by an author's note, surprised readers and left them clamoring for side stories to see the couple's future, particularly with children. While the emotional arc reaches a satisfying conclusion, some readers noted that the foundational lie of Hayeon's family debt, which initiated the entire arrangement, was never formally addressed between the couple. The overall reaction is a bittersweet mix of satisfaction with the couple's happy ending and sadness that their story has concluded so soon.
