29-year-old Mika Mikashima is a journalist who thought she would have to spend her whole life alone. That changes when she meets police officer Shihou Mikashima on a blind date. To her surprise, he asks her quite quickly if they will get married. And, of course, Mika says … yes!

Eventually, however, the day comes when he can finally go home early … Is it possible to fall in love after you’ve already married?
