### Summary
Sangyul, living a lie as the supposedly feeble omega son of Jodong Pharma’s President Han, secretly yearns for an ordinary life, a desire complicated by Korea’s sole alpha, Prince Reok, who proposes a significant deal. Their "slow burn" intimacy has intensified due to Sangyul's traumatic past, sheltered upbringing, 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 pursuit of normalcy amidst external threats and an imposter. The current chapter, likely Chapter 15, is described as "spicy" and "hot" but heavily censored, frustrating readers expecting visible "smut." During an intimate scene, Prince Reok realizes Sangyul's black-or-white worldview, highlighted by his line, "Remind me how you rail me last night." Drunk Sangyul (Yulie) is perceived as pure, innocent, and cute—a "flirty babie" or "slutty boy" who is also a "poor baby" deserving kindness. Prince Reok is praised for his genuine communication and intent to understand, despite his internal conflict of denying feelings and attempting to convince himself he is using Sangyul due to his advisor Jung, which readers find well-written but angst-inducing. Readers hope Sangyul will "tell him everything" now that he receives sincerity, and that external threats, including Jodong Pharma's "inhumane" omega experiments, will be neutralized. The art is highly praised, with an 18+ version existing as "willow love story" from chapter 23. Readers eagerly anticipate Season 2, noting Jung's complex role and observing a change in Prince Reok's eyebrows.
