The protagonist, Shiro Kirishima, is laid off from his company and dumped by his girlfriend at the same time. While he is drinking to drown his sorrows at a bar, a mysterious beautiful woman suddenly asks him if he would like to work for her, and without thinking twice, he signs the documents. When he goes to the designated location the next day, he is informed that it is not at the company but at the woman's home, and that he has registered his marriage with the mysterious woman, Ai Ishimura. The document he signed the night before was a marriage registration form. And so, Shiro's life as a full-time househusband begins by chance.
