�So this is the world we live in, where even spouses can be rented.� Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, five wedding rings and counting, and she�s never once been in love. When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines her role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out �field spouses� for a fixed period to their elite clientele. Just like a real marriage, Inji�s assignments involve a wedding, some sex, and a spot of housework. It�s all tailored exactly to the client�s desires�no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage. In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise: her brazen neighbor, Granny; her flirtatious best friend, Shi-jeong; and a failed blind date, Tae-seong, who won�t take no for an answer. At NM, love is temporary, which is just how Inji likes it. But when one of Inji�s old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year, Inji�s own dark past will begin to unravel�as well as the dark, sinister underbelly of the NM management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation and that of their wealthiest clients�
