### Summary
The first chapter introduces Sangyul, the son of Jodong Pharma's President Han, who is publicly known as a feeble omega but is secretly normal. His desire for an ordinary life is complicated by a proposal from Prince Reok, the nation's sole alpha. Reader reactions highlight the story's unique and anachronistic world-building, which blends 21st-century technology with historical Korean architecture and European-style royal attire, leaving many intrigued but confused about the setting. The art is widely praised as beautiful, and while Sangyul is perceived as an "adorable" protagonist, his father is immediately labeled a "trashy dad," sparking speculation about Sangyul's true origins and the potential for him to be a lab experiment. The chapter establishes a dramatic Omegaverse premise that promises a "rollercoaster" of a story, though the final panels have left some readers questioning the events that transpired.
