### Summary
The romance between Sangyul, the traumatized son of Jodong Pharma's President Han, and Prince Reok, the nation's sole alpha, intensifies as Sangyul continues to heal from a lifetime of abuse. Initially forced to live as a feeble omega, a pivotal discovery revealed he is a true omega, deepening his vulnerability and his bond with the protective Reok. The current arc centers on a poison plot orchestrated by President Han, which Reok secretly plans to subvert by consuming the poison himself in a self-sacrificial act. This "Romeo and Juliet"-style conflict introduces a significant internal test for the couple, as Reok's deliberate lack of communication about his dangerous plan strains their otherwise strong connection. Despite the life-threatening drama, the couple's dynamic remains "adorable" and "precious," with reader sentiment overwhelmingly focused on their profound emotional bond. Fans are rooting for the pair to achieve the freedom they deserve and are growing impatient for the "shitty pharma people" and other antagonists to finally face their comeuppance, allowing the deserving couple to find lasting peace.
