Kyoko supported Sho by working three jobs at once everyday. Fate happened when Kyoko overheard Sho saying that he only bought her to Tokyo to use her as a maid. Furious, Kyoko joins LME, the agency where Ren Tsuruga (who is Sho's rival and the number one actor in Japan works), in hopes of achieving her goal on getting revenge on Sho. Along the way, she discovers her self, meet new people and find herself in situations she'd never expect to be in.
