The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 77

Whew, talk about an emotional rollercoaster! Chapter 77 of The First Night With the Duke had readers absolutely cracking up (and maybe shedding a tear or two) over Duke Zeronis's plight. Our beloved ML went from a deeply emotional reunion with Ripley to immediately looking like he needed a strong nap, all thanks to her very enthusiastic (and numerous) visitors! 😂

Fans couldn't get enough of Zeronis's priceless, "faded expressions" and hilariously "done" reactions as Ripley's family, Sylvia, and Etoile stormed in. Many noted he's probably the most stressed Duke in manhwa, practically begging everyone to leave so he could just have his wife back after nearly two months! People loved how he was utterly broken without Ripley but then returned to his stoic, glowerng self once she was safely in his arms. It made for the "cutest and funniest scene ever," with readers especially enjoying Sylvia avoiding work and that iconic bandage. Plus, who wouldn't want to wake up from a coma only to find out you're rich? 😉 This chapter was a definite hit for its blend of heartfelt reunion and laugh-out-loud chaos!
