### Summary
The manga centers on Sangyul, who lives a lie as the supposedly feeble omega son of Jodong Pharma’s President Han, secretly being normal and desiring an ordinary life. His path intertwines with Korea’s sole alpha, Prince Reok, who proposes a significant deal. Their romance has intensified into a "slow burn" intimacy, complicated by Sangyul's traumatic past and the critical revelation that he is a true omega experiencing his first heat. This makes intimacy with the "green flag" Prince Reok a dangerous gamble, threatening Sangyul's lifelong pursuit of normalcy amidst external threats, including an imposter. The current chapter, likely Chapter 15, is described as "spicy" and "hot," though heavily censored on platforms like Manta, leading to reader frustration over the "smut tag" without visible smut. In a sex scene, Prince Reok realizes Sangyul's black-or-white worldview stems from his sheltered upbringing. Readers find Sangyul, particularly when drunk (Yulie), pure, innocent, and cute, noting that "the truth is starting to come out" and encouraging him to "put those pieces together." Reader comments highlight Prince Reok's unconvincing denial of feelings for Yul and his apparent forgetting that he initiated contact. Despite some frustration over Sangyul's perceived inconsistency and desires for pregnancy, there's hope for external threats ("fuckers") to be taken down. Side characters like Sanggung Shin are praised for their sincerity, while Yulie and Eunwoo are noted for their shared pure yet assertive natures. A specific action involving "eating the paper" occurs, and readers hope Prince Reok gains further understanding.
