### Summary
The chapter's central conflict revolves around Carnelia finally asking Prince Caesar for a divorce, a move that deeply divides the readership. Acting on her primary goal to survive by adhering to the original novel's plot, she selflessly proposes the separation, believing it will pave the way for Caesar's happiness with the original heroine, Gracie. This decision leaves Caesar visibly heartbroken and betrayed, though he fails to explicitly confess his romantic feelings, leading to a dramatic miscommunication. Carnelia remains completely oblivious to his love, interpreting his pained reaction with confusion as she has only ever viewed their relationship as a platonic, political arrangement. The reader comments reflect intense frustration with this dynamic; many criticize Carnelia as "dense" and "stupid" for rigidly following a plot she has already changed and for being emotionally unintelligent. However, a significant portion of the audience defends her, arguing her actions are logical from her perspective, as Caesar has never clearly communicated his feelings over their years of marriage. These defenders shift the blame to the male lead's inability to express himself, highlighting that the entire conflict is a painful, yet classic, trope of poor communication.
