Synopsis:

The series explores the complex dynamics of modern relationships through the lens of a unique service industry. Kazuya Kinoshita, reeling from a sudden breakup, seeks solace in a rental girlfriend, encountering Chizuru Mizuhara, whose captivating persona initially offers comfort. However, Kazuya’s growing suspicion about Chizuru's sincerity leads to a confrontation exposing a hidden facet of her personality. A chance encounter at the hospital forces an impromptu fabrication – they must pretend to be a couple. The narrative examines the blurred lines between performance and genuine connection, as Kazuya grapples with lingering feelings for his former partner while navigating this increasingly precarious charade with Chizuru. The story delves into themes of emotional vulnerability, deception, and the unexpected consequences of manufactured intimacy.
