Yoshiyama Ai, a recent graduate in her second year working as an editor, is assigned to be in charge of an novelist by a senior! While she's excited to be assigned her first author, she's also worried... The author in question is the genius Shirasagi Lily, who debuted while still in high school and has been churning out hit after hit for years. From haute couture clothes and a constant supply of expensive tea, to a palatial home: everything from food, clothing, and shelter is top-notch! Then, one day, when Lily-sensei offers her a meal, she unexpectedly serves up a cup of... instant ramen...? "I'm sorry... I thought you'd like it, Yoshiyama-san..." Of course, when she says that with a blush on her cheeks, she'll happily eat it! This is a love (?) comedy that's sure to pierce your heart with the preciousness of Lily-sensei!
