### Summary
The romance between Sangyul and Prince Reok continues to be a primary focus, with readers celebrating their "cute" and sweet dynamic. Prince Reok is overwhelmingly lauded as a "green flag" and the "greenest forest" for his gentle and protective behavior toward the naive Sangyul. This heartwarming progression is set against a backdrop of intense animosity directed at an unnamed antagonist, referred to as "that bitch" and a "blond fucker," who is responsible for Sangyul's past abuse. Reader comments are filled with violent desires for retribution, hoping the abuser chokes, dies, or is beaten "within an inch of his life" by the Prince. This deep-seated trauma is highlighted by a reader who relates Sangyul's experience to their own history with banned "treatments," underscoring the severity of his past. The core conflict is amplified by the recent revelation that Sangyul is not a normal person pretending, but a true omega beginning his first heat cycle, a development that fundamentally alters his quest for an ordinary life and intensifies his vulnerability.
