At twenty-seven years old, Hayame has built her life around the gentle rhythms of full-time housework, content with the simple, untroubled routine of her days. That fragile peace comes crashing down when her husband abruptly demands a divorce. Cast out with nothing to her name, she suffers a further blow when her purse is stolen, leaving her penniless and forced onto the streets. It is in the depths of this hardship that Hayame crosses paths with Issei, a wealthy but mean-spirited high school boy whose arrogance is as pronounced as his privileged upbringing. She thinks little of their encounter at first, never imagining how significant it will become. Yet as her circumstances spiral ever downward, Issei makes her a startling, unexpected proposal—one that is about to turn what remains of her quiet life completely upside down. "For me to have fallen this low at the age of 27... there has to be a reason for it. Happiness only exists because pain does too, after all." With her peaceful existence in ruins and her fate now bound to the most unlikely of companions, Hayame stands at the threshold of a life she never could have anticipated.
