Outline:

 Protagonist Mikuri Moriyama is an unattached young woman with a graduate degree. Her prospects should be rosy. But when no offers of employment come her way, she's forced into taking on temp work and confronting "the painful realization that nobody needs her." That's when Mikuri with the help of a father（who can't stand to see her jobless）lands a job as a professional homemaker for a company man, a straitlaced, unexciting bachelor named Hiramasa Tsuzaki. Mikuri's perfectionist work ethic wins over Tsuzaki's complete trust, but unfortunate circumstances result in the loss of this job, too. Hemmed in and feeling anxious about the future, Mikuri makes Tsuzaki a strange offer. "Would you consider employing me through marriage?" Tsuzaki agrees, and a nuptial agreement is signed, making the two legally betrothed in a somewhat falsified life as husband/employer and wife/employee.

 The most renowned Japanese supporting actors co star! The story is staged at a sharehouse where six middle aged men are forced to live together.
 One day a major Chinese VOD platform had offered roles to the six renowned supporting actors for a big scripted series. The main role has been taken by an A-list actor, directed by one of the top movie directors. However the first instruction the director made to them was to share a house for 3 months in order to build bondage as costars. Six of them figure out communual life, alothough they all hold thoughts about the incident 10 years ago. Moreover this big project seem to have one secret kept behind....
 Although the story seems non-scripted, it is a scripted series. However as a drama it seems like a very easy going plot. It is quite laughable to watch middle aged men living together, while their cute characteristics become visiblein this unique drama. Sexy and handsome, funny and easy going, enjoy the "Loose and sexy" atmostphere of the middle aged sit-com.
