Cha Woo-seok (Wi Ha-joon) receives a mysterious call from an informant who claims to have evidence of a fraud-related murder. Before revealing the truth, the informant falls to her death. Woo-seok’s investigation leads him to Royal Auction and its chief auctioneer, Han Seol-ah (Park Min-young), whose three fiancés have all died under suspicious circumstances. To expose the truth, or perhaps to test her, Woo-seok proposes they fake a relationship. As he uncovers her secrets, he realizes he may have stepped into a web he can’t escape—and that getting out could cost him everything.

Seo Mi-rae (Jisoo) is an exhausted, hardworking webtoon producer who escapes the daily grind through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation called “Boyfriend on Demand”.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Mi-rae works alongside fellow webtoon producer Park Gyeong-nam (Seo In-guk). Aloof yet competent, Gyeong-nam makes Mi-rae feel awfully uncomfortable around him. But, as fate forces them to spend more and more time together, Mi-rae might find her heart inexplicably drawn to him.

The two of them find themselves dealing with Korea’s third-largest conglomerate, the WR Group, which is currently undergoing an internal power struggle between Lee Yang-mi (Cha Joo-young), the second wife of the group’s chairman, and Kwon Jong-uk (Oh Jung-se), the family’s eldest son.
