## Chapter
- number: 73
- release_date: 2025-05-16

### Summary
The current chapter confirms and deepens the reader frustration established previously by continuing its controversial pivot to the antagonist, Marina. The central plotline involving Mihye and Wigrun's unresolved sexual tension is completely sidelined, fueling audience demands for a return to the main couple. The narrative instead explores the toxic dynamic between Marina and her submissive contractor, Lee Tae-Hyeon, which readers widely interpret as abusive, diagnosing him with "Stockholm syndrome" and hoping he finds a better partner. The new character, Ethan, remains a focal point of discussion, generating a mix of mockery and fascination due to his lack of eyebrows, with comments comparing him to Voldemort while others admit a reluctant attraction. Overall, the chapter is perceived as an unwelcome distraction that prolongs the agonizing wait for the resolution of the main couple's contractually-enforced celibacy, with the B-plot's focus on Marina's manipulative behavior only amplifying the audience's impatience.
