### Summary
Following a brief, lighthearted interlude, the narrative has plunged back into high-stakes drama, focusing on a poison plot orchestrated by Sangyul's abusive father, President Han of Jodong Pharma. The immediate danger to Sangyul has been temporarily averted, as Prince Reok discovered the poison before Sangyul could ingest it, a move seen as a profound demonstration of love and trust. However, this discovery has escalated tensions, sparking reader fears of a "Romeo and Juliet"-style tragedy. Audience animosity is squarely directed at President Han, with a strong desire to see him face severe consequences. A new, positive force has emerged in the form of a supportive mother figure who is actively working against the antagonists, earning praise for her determination. While the romance continues to be a core element, with Reok's long-term intention to make Sangyul his "empress" established, the immediate focus is on survival and the looming confrontation with Jodong Pharma, shadowed by concerns over the loyalty of the Prince's allies.
