Plot
Housewife Serina Asagi（Kyoko Fukada）loves her husband Takefumi Asagi (Naohito Fujiki) passionately. Takefumi is an elite salaryman who works at a brokerage firm. Serina is teased by others that she is a shadow who lives behind her husband, but Serina Asagi is happy to live for Takefumi. She wants to be Takefumi's shadow and to do her best for him .
Takefumi is not as comfortable with Serina showering him with so much attention. Takefumi also has something else to worry about. Chihaya Niiyama（Yuriko Ishida is his boss and quite beautiful. Chihaya forces Takefumi to enter into a dating relationship. Takefumi Asagi is unable to turn down Chihaya's advances. He becomes worried.
One day, at the impetus of friend Motoko Tokura（Sei Ashina), Serina decides to have lunch with Motoko's male co-workers from a publishing company. On the way back home, one of the men gets close to Serina. At that moment, Detective Haruki Jinnai（Kenta Kiritani) takes a picture and threatens Serina to reveal the picture unless she pays him money. Serina doesn't have any money, but she definitely doesn't want her husband to see the picture. Instead of paying Haruki, Serina ends up going to this office and working as his assistant. She also learns the tricks of the trade and self defense. Through the training, Serina also starts to change. She wasn't able to express her own opinions before, but now can solve problems and help others. She also takes up the guise of a beautiful woman with the help of makeup artist Takeni Toshoma（Arata Furuta) for work.
