Their relationship has evolved into a \"slow burn\" intimacy, intensified 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 and an imposter.

During an intimate 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 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 to be taken down. The latest reader comments express profound emotional connection, describing Sangyul (Yulie) as a \"poor baby\" deserving of hugs and kindness after a difficult life. The interactions are seen as \"fluffy\" and emotionally touching, with many readers crying and hoping for the characters' happiness. Prince Reok is praised for his genuine communication and intent to understand, a \"rare breed\" who discusses rather than lashes out. The \"evergreen alpha\" is loved, and there's a strong desire for Sangyul to \"tell him everything\" as he finally receives sincerity.","summary_source":"graph_aggregator","summary_status":"generated","summary_verification":"unverified"},"summary":"Sangyul, the supposedly feeble omega son of Jodong Pharma’s President Han, secretly lives a normal life and yearns for an ordinary existence, a desire complicated by Korea’s sole alpha, Prince Reok, who proposes a significant deal.
