The show follows the story of Shoji Taishi, a new third-generation lawmaker who comes from a family of politicians and has had a sheltered upbringing. He is a womanizer and not particularly smart. Taishi's wife is actress Kurosawa Yui, who got her big break from a drama series. The couple have been married for five years and act like a happily married couple for the sake of their work and public image.
However, their marriage has already broken down because Taishi and Yui barely have a conversation except when they go live on social media for Yui's fans. The couple never see each other at home and due to their differences, they have become disenchanted with their marriage.
Since they are unable to get a divorce right away due to pressure from their families and endorsement deals, the couple has no choice but to come together with the unwavering goal of getting a divorce.
