Her mission was to steal the formula to a top secret, best-selling cosmetics product! But then she experienced the love of people dedicated to beauty’s pursuit.
Akane Mitsusawa dreams of becoming a top-flight business consultant. But under orders of her lover and boss, Tsuyoshi Sakamoto, her first job as a rookie is to go undercover as a new employee at a venerable cosmetics company and be an industrial spy. She succeeds in earning the trust and esteem of her beauty department colleagues, and is quickly promoted to product development at headquarters, supported by Yurie Minegishi in human resources. And then one day, she gets a directive from Sakamoto to steal the secret to a long-selling, medicated skin conditioner that is slated for a model change. Fortunately, Akane is assigned to the R&D lab in charge of new skin conditioner development where she is given a cool reception by her new boss, Chika Nakanowatari. Determined to get the information she needs, Akane follows Nakanowatari to a research facility in Shirakami, but ends up getting lost in the snowy mountains. When she is at last found by Nakanowatari, Akane is surprised by the first-time display of emotion she receives from Nakanowatari, who slaps her and then embraces her. Akane begins to see the passion with which the people at this company make their cosmetic products and gradually begins to harbor doubts about her real mission. Then when she learns of Nakanowatari’s sad past, Akane feels her own life beginning to change.
