Takato Saijou has claimed the crown of "Sexiest Man of the Year" for five consecutive years. With two decades behind him as a seasoned actor, he knows his appearance far exceeds the norm. He takes pride in his achievements and views the accolade as proof of his success.
When a fresh talent, Junta Azumaya—who entered the scene only three years earlier—topsples his reign, Takato"s initial surprise turns into bitter envy. In the new series he is slated to star in, Junta appears to eclipse him; taking over Takato"s usual leading role, the newcomer continually irritates him. What angers him most is Junta"s bright grin and courteous words that accompany every action.
The resentment peaks when Junta spots Takato in a drunken, vulnerable state. Risking his own reputation, Takato lashes out with harsh remarks at the junior actor—an opening that Junta seizes. With a video of the celebrated star picking a fight with a co‑star in circulation, Junta now possesses the perfect leverage for blackmail.
When Takato demands a price for his silence, he is stunned to discover that Junta"s demand has nothing to do with career advancement; instead it is a proposition that can only be fulfilled in the bedroom. Such an unexpected twist forces Takato to confront the fragile nature of fame and the lengths he will go to protect his image.
