## Chapter

### Summary
The current chapter escalates the narrative into a chaotic "shitshow" centered on a case of mistaken identity, where the CEO impersonates Mihye. This development, however, serves to powerfully reinforce the central romance, as Wigrun—unlike other characters—is not fooled and immediately recognizes the imposter is not "his girl." This moment provides significant validation for readers frustrated by his recent absence. The chapter also confirms the dominant fan theory that the alternate-timeline character, Ethan, is a version of Wigrun, with readers pointing to identical mannerisms like a specific glasses push and phrase. While this subplot and the introduction of a character named Vanta create new intrigue, the core conflict remains unresolved. The embarrassing and messy comedic situation acts as yet another obstacle, prolonging the narrative stasis that has kept Mihye and Wigrun's relationship unconsummated for over 170 chapters, leaving their recent emotional breakthrough in a state of frustrating suspension and ending on a severe cliffhanger.
