Hoshino Tatsurou is a down-on-his-luck man who has gone through 99 omiai (arranged dates with the intention of marriage if the date goes well). Not particularly smart, nor handsome, nor rich, he is a man who cannot lie and, of course, has a heart of pure gold. On the 100th omiai, he meets Kaoru, an extremely beautiful and talented cellist who can't forget her dead fiancé.
Perennial bachelor Park Dal Jae has gone on more marriage blind dates than he can count, but he still can't find a wife. It's a tough market since he's not young, good-looking, or rich, but he's got his heart in the right place. On his 100th date, he finally meets the perfect girl, 29-year-old announcer Han Soo Jung.
The death of her first love, Chan Hyuk, has put Soo Jung's life at a standstill. Her aunt badgers her into going on a blind date with Dal Jae, and Soo Jung is amazed that he says exactly the same words Chan Hyuk had said when he proposed to her.
She gets angry when she later learns that he'd been coached by his younger brother. Soo Jung tries to keep treating him coldly, but Dal Jae's pure-hearted naivete makes her smile. As Soo Jung gradually opens up to him, Dal Jae becomes hopeful that she'll someday return his feelings. But then Woo Suk, who looks exactly like Chan Hyuk, suddenly appears in Soo Jung's life.

Kinoshita Kazuya is a 20-year-old college student who has a wonderful girlfriend: the bright and sunny Nanami Mami. But suddenly, he doesn't. Without warning, Mami breaks up with him, leaving him utterly heartbroken and lonely. Seeking to soothe the pain, he hires a rental girlfriend through an online app. His partner is Mizuhara Chizuru, who through her unparalleled beauty and cute demeanor, manages to gain Kazuya's affection.
But after reading similar experiences other customers had had with Chizuru, Kazuya believes her warm smile and caring personality were all just an act to toy with his heart, and he rates her poorly.

On impulse, Kazuya promptly declares that they are lovers, forcing Chizuru to play the part. But with Kazuya still hung up on his previous relationship with Mami, how long can this difficult client and reluctant rental girlfriend keep up their act?
