Without warning, Mami breaks up with him, leaving him heartbroken and lonely. Seeking to ease his pain, he hires a rental girlfriend through an online application. Her partner is Chizuru Mizuhara, who through her incomparable beauty and cute demeanor, manages to win Kazuya’s affections. But after reading similar experiences from other clients Chizuru had, Kazuya is sure that her caring personality and warm smile were just an act to play on her heart, and he labels her poorly.
Aggravated, Chizuru criticizes him for his shameless hypocrisy, revealing his true temperamental personality. However, this one-sided exchange is cut short when Kazuya discovers that her grandmother has collapsed. They rush to the hospital and find Kazuya’s grandmother already in good condition. Bewildered by Chizuru’s presence, Grandma asks who this girl could be. On impulse, Kazuya introduces her as her real girlfriend, forcing Chizuru to play the role of her. But with Kazuya still anchored to Mami, how long can this difficult client and reluctant rental girlfriend keep up her act?
