Saki Tachibana’s life changed during her third year of university. Orphaned and responsible for her younger brother, she struggled to find work while facing the prospect of dropping out. After a discouraging job interview at Hotel Kyogoku, its young president, Ryosuke Kyougoku, caught her crying in the rain. Despite his cold reputation, he told her about the company’s scholarship and internship program, allowing her to continue her studies while working. She never forgot his kindness.

Determined to repay him, Saki earned her secretarial certification and, upon graduation, secured a position as Ryosuke’s personal secretary. She had long admired him from afar, but working closely together made her realize her feelings had deepened into love. Yet Ryosuke, the heir to the Kyogoku family, is known for his cool, unapproachable demeanor—except around Saki. When she is near, he stumbles over his words, blushes, and even acts clumsy, a side of him no one else sees.

The story follows their secret, socially forbidden romance. Saki struggles with the power imbalance between a hardworking commoner and a wealthy company president, while Ryosuke is bound by family expectations and an arranged engagement to a heiress from a powerful conglomerate. As they navigate workplace gossip, meddling relatives, and Ryosuke’s own suppressed feelings, the two must decide whether love can overcome the barriers of status and duty. The narrative arcs from their initial connection, through Saki’s brave confession and Ryosuke’s hesitant reciprocation, to the challenges posed by his fiancée and family pressure. Ultimately, they fight to build a future together, culminating in a wedding that honors both their professional and personal lives.
