### Summary
This chapter executes a massive, genre-redefining plot twist that fundamentally alters the narrative's direction. The story abruptly transforms into a regression arc, sending Duke Dreux back in time to his childhood, immediately following his first fated encounter with a young Nöel. In this reset timeline, Dreux is the only one who retains his memories of their entire relationship, the faulty magic, and the tragic events that transpired. This development completely inverts their dynamic; Nöel has no memory of him, placing the burden on Dreux to proactively change their grim destiny and pursue her from a new beginning. Readers overwhelmingly praised this unexpected turn, highlighting that it provides a second chance not only for the main couple but also for beloved characters like Margot and Alex who had previously died. The twist is seen as a masterful stroke that connects all preceding plot points, reframing the story as a time-travel romance where the male lead must now prevent a prophesied tragedy and save everyone he lost.
