She realizes that she is now entering her mid-thirties and spends her downtime drinking and generally being slovenly at home. She has had romantic experiences in the past, but is nowhere near marriage. Her financial situation leaves also leaves much to be desired… Life, it seems, is passing her by.
But one day, at an event organized by a friend, she bumps into a younger, handsome, well-dressed man. She learns that his name is Shirosaki Makoto (Nagatsuma Reo), that he is 28, and that he is the CEO of a company president. Later, he springs a surprise on her, asking her to marry him – on certain conditions. Unsure if this is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn her life around or a situation she should leave well alone, she hesitates. But Shirosaki Makoto is insistent – and as her 34th birthday approaches, could marriage really be in the cards for her?
