## Chapter
- number: 39
- release_date: 2025-05-09

### Summary
Following a period of intense romantic progression overshadowed by a dangerous poison plot, the narrative shifts dramatically in tone. While the previous chapter left Sangyul contemplating self-sacrifice and Reok advancing a potential marriage proposal amidst severe threats, the current chapter is received by readers as an overwhelmingly "cute" and lighthearted special episode. This interlude appears to sideline the main story's high-stakes drama, focusing instead on a humorous and endearing event where Sangyul is seemingly involved in a "Bottom of the Year" award. The chapter is celebrated as one of the cutest in the series, providing a sweet, affectionate moment between Sangyul and Prince Reok that stands in stark contrast to the life-threatening conspiracies orchestrated by Jodong Pharma and other antagonists. This break from the primary conflict is so distinct that readers question if it's a special not available on all platforms and express their anticipation for the main story to resume in Season 3.
