### Summary
Sangyul, the son of Jodong Pharma's President Han, has endured a lifetime of abuse, including hormone injections and violence, to maintain the lie that he is a feeble omega, while secretly yearning for an ordinary life. This desire is complicated by Prince Reok, Korea's sole alpha, whose proposal initiates a rapidly escalating, "slow burn" romance. Initially perceived as a meek "blank slate," Sangyul is revealed to be a true omega experiencing his first heat, intensifying his vulnerability. Reok, lauded as a "green flag" for his gentle, protective nature and genuine communication, struggles with an internal conflict, unconvincingly denying his feelings due to his advisor Jung Sangon's influence, even as their intimacy deepens and he gains insight into Sangyul's sheltered worldview. Recent events have escalated tension, with Sangyul finally taking courage amidst a "knife-cutting" atmosphere and a "face slam" incident leaving Hanseok "half dead." President Han is exposed as a "true psychopath" responsible for Sangyul's torment and Jodong Pharma's "inhumane" omega experiments, eliciting profound reader disgust and anger, especially given the revelation that Sangyul's own father is an omega. Readers fiercely protect the "golden couple," anticipating Sangyul's healing and a confrontation with his abusers, while also noting the impact of censorship on mature scenes, which, despite not directly furthering the plot, were crucial for depicting the couple's adorable dynamic and development.
