Noh Inji is almost 30 years old. With five wedding rings and counting, she's never once been in love. When Inji first accepted a job at Wedding & Life, a popular matchmaking service, she never imagined her role would be with NM, their secret marriage division that rents out “husbands” and “wives” to their wealthiest clientele. Just like a real marriage, Inji's assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, all tailored exactly to the client’s desires and length of time before they go their separate ways. But then one of Inji's old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year. Over the course of their marriage, the secrets of Inji’s past begin to unravel --- as well as the dark, sinister underbelly of NM’s management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation…and their clients.
