## Chapter
- number: 7
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
Following the intense confrontation in the previous chapter, the narrative shifts to a more comedic tone as Ripley actively begins practicing to become a villainess. This new strategy, which includes a direct confrontation with the villainess Rose, is largely perceived by readers as "hilarious" and "funny," though some question the logic of her plan. The chapter's breakout character is Ripley's maid, Sylvia, who earns widespread praise for her role as a sarcastic but supportive accomplice. Described as a "boss bitch" and the "main mvp," Sylvia humorously plays along with Ripley's scheme, delighting readers with her sassy and "unserious" attitude. Meanwhile, the male lead, Duke Zeronis, continues his complex behavior of defending Ripley in public while questioning her in private, solidifying fan comparisons to Draco Malfoy. While speculation about his true motives continues, some readers express frustration that his coercive actions are being "whitewashed." In a notable shift, some fans now hope that Rose might undergo character development and eventually befriend Ripley, moving past their initial animosity.
