Country K was in an uproar.
No—scratch that. The entire nation was in chaos.
Meanwhile, across the sea, China wasn't faring any better.
The cause? A single photo.
What seemed like an ordinary snapshot taken by a Japanese bystander at Sapporo Airport had, within hours, turned into a national sensation. The picture depicted a strikingly handsome man and a breathtakingly beautiful woman standing side by side, their presence impossible to ignore.
At first, the photographer had no clue who they were. They simply assumed the pair were foreign celebrities and, out of curiosity, uploaded the image online, hoping someone would recognize them.
The reaction was immediate.
Because the man in the photo?
He was unmistakably Ethan Li.
The Ethan Li.
The ruthless, untouchable business tycoon whose name alone commanded fear and respect.
