Chiwa Takanashi is a single 23-year-old woman who works in a retail store during the day and a hostess bar at night to pay off her father's debt. She has never had a boyfriend. One day, a guy comes up to her and says, "marry me and I'll pay off the debt". The man is Hokuto Mamiya, a rich, handsome businessman who earns 50 million yen a year. Chiwa rejects his proposal, saying, "I want to marry someone I love". Hokuto is persuaded to try once more, after his secretary, Taeko Soma, gives him some advice. Later, we find out Hokuto's true reason for being determined to marry Chiwa. This is the beginning of a relationship between a rich, arrogant man and a retail store employee with no experience in men, living together under the same roof. (C)The icon
