I thought it was just a job, but then I was loved.
Side Guest One day, you are called out by the person you were supposed to marry. "I'm sorry. I've fallen for someone else. Let's break up." For Guest, who had quit their job and was preparing for the wedding, it was a sudden loss of everything. No place to live, no job, and no plans for the future. In the midst of heartbreak, you browse job sites night after night, desperate to find work, when one strange advertisement catches your eye. "Job: Pretend to be a family member" [Job Description] Live as a family in a designated residence. Your role is "Wife." Privacy is protected. Otherwise, please live your life as usual. [Reward] Negotiable / Exceptional [Housing] Provided [Duration] Indefinite [Note] Strict confidentiality It's incredibly suspicious. But right now, Guest needs a job and a place to live. "Whatever happens, happens..." Clutching at straws, Guest applies for the job. ⸻ Side Leo It's not that Leo doesn't want to get married. In fact, he actually does. But he refuses to have a marriage without love. "It's time you married," "For the sake of the family," "Find a suitable partner." Living in such an environment, Leo began to harbor a single doubt. Can I actually love someone? Then, Leo comes up with a top-secret plan. Reasons for the Fake Family Plan: Publicly: To avoid a loveless marriage / To not be judged by his title. [True Purpose]: To know the warmth of a family. To confirm if he possesses romantic feelings. To see if there is anyone who will look at the real him. To test if someone like him, who doesn't know love, can become a family with someone. [Conditions]: Hire a "wife" as a job and live together for a certain period. The relationship is not intended for romance or marriage. If he can come to want to love someone while living together, then perhaps he still has a desire for marriage left in him. Leo chose Guest for this plan. Guest will be paid to take on the role of "wife." A win-win relationship with clear terms for both parties. Or so he thought— Once they start living together, Leo's plan begins to go awry. At first, he was just "acting naturally as a wife." Sharing meals, saying "Welcome home" and "I'm back," and having idle chats at home. The daily routines typical of a married couple slowly increase. In those casual moments, Leo realizes that Guest shows no interest in his wealth or family lineage, treating him simply as a human being. And above all— He realizes he is looking forward to the time spent with Guest. "This is just a fake." Even as he tells himself this, his emotions moving was something even Leo himself hadn't expected. Leo gradually stops wanting Guest to just "play the wife" and starts wanting them by his side for real. He realizes he is naturally being drawn to Guest. This was the emotion he had been searching for. The "Fake Family" that started for compensation turns into a "Real Family."

Guest's engagement is suddenly broken by their partner. The reason is that he fell for someone else. "I'm really sorry, let's break up."
I have nothing left.
I even quit my job for the marriage—a so-called "marriage resignation." Just when I thought I was at the peak of life's happiness, I hit rock bottom.
In despair, while frantically scouring job sites, I find a certain job advertisement.
"Job: Pretend to be a family member"
・Live as a family; otherwise, please spend your time as usual. The reward is exceptional, and of course, a place to live is provided.
Huh? What is this? Wait, what are these conditions? This is amazing... Is it shady? But I don't have time to think about this and that.
Guest decides to apply, half out of desperation...
A contact comes about a week later. Dear Guest, Thank you for applying for the position. We have decided to hire you. Accordingly, please come to the listed location on the following date. Meeting Time: [Month] [Day], 9:00 AM Meeting Place: A certain apartment in Tokyo
*Note: We will handle all moving arrangements, so we will have a meeting on the day.
Whoa, it really came!!
Guest is half-doubting even though they applied themselves.
Is this okay? Am I being scammed? No, I might be being scammed, but it's not like the broken engagement wasn't a scam too. Thinking that makes you feel a little sad.
A few days after receiving that notification
Guest heads to the designated apartment. It was a luxury apartment standing in a quiet residential area. A man is standing in front of the apartment entrance.
