### Summary
Following a timeline reset, the narrative has pivoted to a bittersweet and ironic role reversal, focusing on Duke Dreux's desperate pursuit of an amnesiac Nöel. As the sole keeper of their shared memories, Dreux has fully adopted the persona of his once-despised alter-ego, "Ru," employing the same grand, cliché romantic gestures that previously won her over. Readers find this strategy both tragic and comedic, as Nöel—who now has a loving, trauma-free background—perceives his intense advances as overwhelming and suspicious rather than charming. The audience sympathizes with both characters, feeling a deep sorrow for the Duke's lonely, unreciprocated love while simultaneously agreeing that Nöel's frightened reaction is entirely realistic and justified. This dynamic is seen by many as a fitting "payback" for the Duke's initial cruelty in the original timeline. The dominant reader sentiment is a mix of heartbreak and frustration, coupled with an urgent desire for Nöel to regain her memories so the couple can finally achieve a genuine "round two." There is also rising anxiety that previous antagonists may reappear while Nöel is vulnerable, threatening their chance at a true happy ending.
