Ten years have passed since Charlene’s parents died and her then-boyfriend, Brand, left her. She has no intention of forgiving him—without his support, she lost her little sister, Cissy, to their horrible relatives, and she blames it on Brand, who refused to marry her. Raised by her aunt and uncle, Cissy has grown up to be selfish and rebellious. And then one morning, Charlene wakes up to a baby on her couch with a letter from Cissy stating that Brand is the child’s father!

Her secret love came true, but how long can her happiness last? Lily woke up in the morning feeling extremely happy to be beside a man she’d admired all these years, but her happiness was ruined by an article about his engagement to another woman. She realized she’d made a grave mistake. Ben Warrender was the heir of a notable family, and she was the daughter of a family servant. It was a love that could never come true. In despair she left the room before he woke up. Then, three years later, Ben showed up in front of her while she was taking a well-deserved vacation to accuse her of neglecting their child!

No matter how much Casey doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps, she can't stop herself from being attracted to him...

Makishima Yutaro is told by Asaki Seiichi, a popular guy from the soccer club, "We're a man short, so I just went ahead and included you in this mixer." Furthermore, it turns out that everyone else at the mixer already had a girl he's interested in, so Yutaro is told to take care of the remaining unclaimed woman. But that "remaining" college girl turns out to be Kiraboshi Ayane, the former leader of a wildly popular idol group!? Yutaro's life takes a dramatic turn when he gets together with Kiraboshi Ayane, the former idol who is cute enough to be called a "national treasure." (Source: PASH! Books, translated)
