### Summary
The narrative centers on Sangyul, the son of Jodong Pharma's President Han, who is forced to live a lie as a feeble omega. It has been revealed that this status is a facade maintained through a lifetime of forced hormone and drug injections by his own father, a "gruesome life" that has now escalated to include physical violence. This dark backstory has intensified reader sympathy and their desire for Sangyul to get revenge. The plot is driven by a proposal from Prince Reok, the nation's sole alpha, which complicates Sangyul's quest for an ordinary life. Despite the horrific context, the current focus has shifted to the developing dynamic between the two leads. Readers are charmed by the "adorable" and "cute" interactions, highlighted by the use of chibi art, and perceive Sangyul as a "meek" character in need of love and protection from the prince. Speculation is rising that a side character, Sanggung Shin, may be reporting Sangyul's situation to Reok, offering a potential path for the truth to be uncovered. The initial confusion over the unique world-building—a mix of modern technology and historical aesthetics—has given way to a deep investment in Sangyul's personal horror and the hope that his budding relationship with the prince will lead to his salvation.
