A series of events leads single, 25-year-old Mikuri Moriyama and 36-year-old Hiramasa Tsuzaki to marry as a cover.
Mikuri and Tsuzaki return for a special New Year's episode, ready to start a family and write a new and exciting chapter in their life together.
After Mikuri loses her temporary office position, her father points her toward an unexpected job opportunity cleaning the house of his acquaintance.
Mikuri and Tsuzaki hope to skip all the fanfare of a formal wedding ceremony, but convincing their expectant families to agree will take some work.
Feeling insecure, Tsuzaki keeps Mikuri at a distance. When Mikuri notices his new attitude, she worries that she may have done something wrong.
When Mikuri suddenly needs money to pay for an expensive dental treatment, she talks with Tsuzaki and agrees to start working part time for Kazami.
After Yuri expresses concerns about the state of their marriage, Mikuri and Tsuzaki quickly resolve to show more affection — at least once a week.
Eager to support the newlyweds, Yuri gives Mikuri and Tsuzaki tickets for a romantic honeymoon. Unable to refuse, the pair makes it a business trip.
A frustrated Mikuri struggles to understand why Tsuzaki keeps pushing her away, but not even the couple's special Tuesday tradition seems to help.
Mikuri visits her parents and leaves Tsuzaki alone with his thoughts. Tsuzaki feels oddly upset when Kazami claims to know Mikuri better than he does.
Just as Mikuri and Tsuzaki start to examine their feelings for each other, work brings a charmingly bright and cheerful woman into Tsuzaki’s life.
After admitting how they feel, Mikuri and Tsuzaki begin a romantic new life as a real couple. Tsuzaki gets some bad news about work on his day off.
As Mikuri takes on additional work duties outside the home, the couple must navigate their evolving roles as partners in both business and romance.
