He was a failing salaryman. She made him the perfect bride.
Fumio Uehara is a disaster at work. He makes mistakes, gets scolded daily, and is nicknamed “Miss Mistake” by his colleagues. But his handsome, elite boss, Manager Sugita, sees something else in him: a resemblance to his late wife.
When Japan legalizes same-sex marriage, Sugita makes a shocking proposal. He needs a partner to help raise his two young daughters, and he wants Fumio. But there is a catch: Sugita doesn’t want a husband. He wants a “wife” who will wear skirts, manage the household, and become the mother his children need.
Caught between office bullies, a jealous rival, and the adoration of Sugita’s daughters, Fumio begins a transformation he never expected. From learning makeup to undergoing surgery, Fumio discovers that his path to happiness might not be climbing the corporate ladder, but walking down the aisle in a wedding dress.
(A heartwarming and unconventional romance about finding family in the most unexpected way.)
Content Warning: Contains themes of workplace bullying/harassment, non-consensual outings, medical transition (orchiectomy/SRS), and dub-con elements related to the “training” aspect of the relationship.
Heat Level (1-5) 3 (Sweet/Sensual) The intimacy is largely romantic and domestic, focusing on the emotional bond and the “new wife” dynamic rather than hardcore erotica. There are sexual scenes, but they serve the romance plot.
