Kawai Yoshiko (Sakurako Ohara) once had grand plans for her romantic future. She wanted to marry at age 26, have her first child at age 27, and give birth to her second child at age 29. But now, just a few days ahead of her 29th birthday, all her plans appear to have come to naught. Her boyfriend dumps her, leaving her single and alone. In her despair, she goes to a cafe to wallow in her solace and unhappiness. But there, she runs into Yuki Masaomi (Matsuda Genta), a junior colleague from work.

At the office, Yuki Masaomi is nicknamed “AI,” due to the fact that he looks incredibly handsome, but is emotionally cold, and does not seem to have any empathy. But when Kawai Yoshiko tells her colleague about why she is so unhappy, he comes up with a remarkable offer. If she cannot find a romantic partner before her 30th birthday, he will marry her instead! Could this be his way of telling her that he likes her? Could they be compatible? Or will this offer lead her to further heartbreak?

Having been teased mercilessly as a child, Asako has developed quite a complex about her natural odor but her company’s products have given her the confidence she needs to overcome her insecurities. At least until the day she meets Kotaro Natori (Kanta Sato). 

A product development planner for Lilia Drop, Kotaro has a highly developed sense of smell which he employs daily. While working on the company’s newest product, he encounters a smell unlike any he has ever sniffed before. Following the scent to its origin, Kotaro finds himself face-to-face with Asako. Unable to resist Asako’s unique musk, Kotaro finds himself drawn to the timid accountant. 

Inspired by her scent, Kotaro asks her to test the company’s newest product and allow him to sniff the results for a week. Unable to find a way to say no, Asako agrees to Kotaro’s unusual request. As the two begin a truly unique working relationship, they begin to realize that they are both so much more than a strong smell and a powerful sniffer. Naturally drawing closer together, will Asako and Kotaro’s working relationship spark a new office romance?
