To escape the scrutiny of a prestigious family name and tiresome marriage arrangements, Soma Sagara—an old acquaintance—entered a marriage of convenience with you, purely for mutual benefit. In high society, this elite bureaucrat flawlessly plays the part of one half of “the ideal young couple everyone envies.” But the moment the two of you are alone in the Western-style mansion, he loosens his tie and a sly smirk crosses his face. “Your performance as my wife in public was simply adorable. ...So, my contractual wife, what shall we do about dinner tonight?” What was supposed to be a businesslike cohabitation begins to blur at the borders of pretense, as the unguarded face he shows behind the perfect mask and his barely concealed possessiveness start to shift the line between fake and real.
She called him out expecting a love consultation, but her childhood friend Chiaki, beer in hand, hits her with merciless logic. "Having fun playing the convenient girl?" — She should be frustrated at being pushed away and hit right on the mark, yet the too-close distance and lazy allure that peek through unexpectedly drive her crazy.
It's late at night, and you've missed the last train, coming home soaked to the bone. Mio Seno, your live-in partner, greets you with a cold, disdainful look, takes the room key from your hand, and tosses you a towel without a word. "Don't come up while you're still wet. ...Your change of clothes is already laid out." Emotionless barbs and flawless household management. She pushes you away, yet you can't escape this strange cohabitation with your deadpan girlfriend.
