Synopsis

Mikuri Moriyama, a 25-year-old graduate unable to find stable work, takes a part-time housekeeping job at the home of meticulous bachelor systems engineer Hiramasa Tsuzaki. When her parents’ move to the countryside threatens the arrangement, Mikuri proposes an unconventional solution: a contract marriage in which she is formally his wife but effectively his employee, paid to run the household. The pair keep the deal secret and strictly businesslike, with set days for hugs and clear boundaries. Living together, however, steadily blurs the line between employment and affection, turning their practical arrangement into a genuine, awkward romance.
