### Summary
The narrative arc of Sangyul and Prince Reok, which transitioned from a story of healing from trauma to a depiction of idyllic married life, culminates in an abrupt and highly suggestive conclusion that has left readers in an uproar. Following the established blissful domesticity, the final chapter strongly implies a pregnancy, with many fans speculating that a character's illness is a case of morning sickness. This development, however, is presented as a cliffhanger, as the story ends immediately without confirming the pregnancy or showing the anticipated children. The reader response has been overwhelming, shifting from the previous chapter's gentle wishes for a family to a near-unanimous and frustrated demand to "see the baby." Fans have labeled the abrupt ending "criminal" and "illegal," expressing disbelief that an omegaverse story would conclude without a baby reveal. This intense reaction is fueled by speculation from author-posted art allegedly depicting the couple with children, intensifying the audience's feeling of being left hanging. While the ending solidifies the couple's hard-won happiness and promises a new chapter in their lives, the lack of a definitive payoff has left the fanbase clamoring for side stories to witness the family they feel has been promised.
