Sakaino Hitomi (Matsui Airi) is a clean-living young woman from a well-heeled family. She is always completely honest with everyone she meets – a fact that sometimes lands her in trouble. Most people envy her due to the fact that she is engaged to marry the fabulously wealthy and successful Akashi Keigo (Kousei Yuki), a handsome bachelor with an impeccable educational background.

But life for both turns decidedly chaotic when, at a construction site, Sakaino Hitomi meets the dashing, muscular but decidedly rough-around-the edges Manabu (Kasamatsu Sho). She falls for him instantly, despite his much lower level of education, and cannot disguise her feelings for him. Even as she is trying on her wedding dress, she is thinking of Manabu. This encounter has obviously taken its toll on her, and when her fiance tries to kiss her and she refuses, family members begin to sense that something is wrong. As her attraction to Manabu begins to intensify, it looks like the big wedding could be headed for the rocks…

As a contracted worker at Amagi Pharmaceuticals, Yui Sato (Airi Matsui) might not be living the high life but she’s doing the best she can. Unfortunately, there are times when she feels like her best just isn’t good enough; especially after the death of her beloved dog. Keenly feeling the loss of her beloved pet, Yui tries to drown her sorrows at a local bar, but even something as simple as that doesn’t work out the way she’d hoped it would.

Tired of listening to Yui wail over her dearly departed, Kyoichi Amagi (Mokomichi Hayami) decides he’s had enough. As CEO of Amagi Pharmaceuticals, Kyoichi is used to having people follow his orders, so naturally, he expects Yui to do exactly as he says when he rather cruelly tells her to shut up and go home. Enraged by the disdain she hears dripping in this man’s voice, Yui lets her emotions get the better of her and lashes out at him in an act that leaves him sprawled face-first on the floor.

Called into the CEO’s office at work the next day, Yui is horrified when she realizes that the man she met at the bar last night is her boss. Sure she’s seconds away from being fired, Yui tries to prepare for the worst but instead of firing her, Kyoichi presents her with a most unusual request.
