### Summary
In a moment of desperate genius—or perhaps foolishness—Hayeon fabricates a family debt to justify her need for Doyun's money and secure their marriage contract. This bold-faced lie has split the readership: while many cheer on her all-in strategy and find her dedication amusingly relatable, a vocal contingent expresses frustration, arguing that building a relationship on deceit is a recipe for heartbreak. Doyun's surprisingly easy acceptance of her flimsy excuse only strengthens readers' convictions that he has liked her all along. With the characters now bound by a contract built on a lie, fans are simultaneously stressed and intrigued, bracing for the inevitable, messy fallout of their mutual obliviousness.
