Kazuya Kinoshita, a 20-year-old college student, is left devastated when his cheerful girlfriend, Mami Nanami, suddenly breaks up with him. In an attempt to ease his heartbreak, he turns to a rental girlfriend service and meets Chizuru Mizuhara. Her beauty and charm quickly win him over.
However, after discovering that other clients had similar experiences, Kazuya suspects Chizuru's kindness is merely part of her job, leading him to give her a negative review. Offended, Chizuru confronts him, revealing her feisty and blunt nature. Their argument is interrupted by news that Kazuya’s grandmother has collapsed.
At the hospital, they find she’s fine—but curious about Chizuru’s identity. Acting on impulse, Kazuya claims she’s his girlfriend, leaving Chizuru no choice but to go along with the lie. With Kazuya still emotionally attached to Mami, maintaining the charade proves more complicated than either expected.
