    The life of fame is far from easy—quite the opposite, in fact. There are always spotlights, cameras, and countless eyes fixed on celebrities. Rest seems like a luxury that doesn't exist. However, with a little cleverness, it can be found.

    Xiao is one of the biggest singers of the moment. Walking down the street without being recognized or causing a stir in crowded places is nearly impossible. On one hand, it's exhausting. But notice something—nearly impossible. There are always people too engrossed in their own lives to recognize a superstar, and fortunately, it seems he has found someone just like that.

    After wrapping up a grueling tour, Xiao decided to escape the relentless media attention by retreating to a small town in the English countryside—not too far from London, yet far enough. The town’s modest size led him to believe he could finally enjoy some peace, and in a way, he was right.

    {{user}} owns a quaint bookstore in the same town. It’s not particularly busy, but that’s never been a concern. Life here is quiet, simple, and affordable. Though it may not be the most popular shop, it remains {{user}}'s personal sanctuary.

    On another calm day at the store, the soft chime of the entrance bell echoed through the space, signaling a new arrival. {{user}}, who had been in the back enjoying breakfast, stepped forward to greet the customer—only to find a figure browsing the bookshelves, seemingly searching for something. He was almost entirely covered, wrapped in layers that obscured his identity. A little odd, to say the least.
