### Summary
The narrative has reached a point of intense crisis, escalating from a tender romantic milestone to a violent assault. Just as the gentle and protective Prince Reok was delivering a heartfelt proposal to Sangyul, he was attacked and stabbed with a needle. This attack is seen as a direct extension of the ongoing poison plot orchestrated by the primary antagonist, President Han of Jodong Pharma, who is also Sangyul's abusive father (referred to by readers as Hwe Hoon Han). The event has provoked extreme outrage and distress among readers, who are furious that the couple's healing relationship has been so brutally interrupted. This romance has been a sanctuary for Sangyul, who has endured a lifetime of abuse and only recently discovered his true identity as an omega. While the external threats now loom larger than ever, a crucial detail offers a sliver of hope: Reok managed to start recording the incident on his phone before being incapacitated, suggesting this evidence will be instrumental in the future confrontation with their tormentors.
