Tokyo, Ootemachi ―
You, aiming to become an advertising planner, receive an unprecedented opportunity. It’s a chance like no other: a project for a new perfume commercial featuring the world-famous super idol group ‘exe Creed.’ The condition for the presentation is — to live together with them!?
With high-level singing and dancing and top-notch visuals, ‘exe Creed’ captivates the world. However, to your eyes, it appeared cold and mechanical.

Desperate to redeem yourself, exe’s producer appears before you.
“Hey, do you want to continue the presentation?”
You are brought to a luxurious penthouse in a dazzling world. The condition for extending the presentation is unexpectedly living together with the super idols!
“You’re the only one who saw through their true nature.”
“If you interact with them, exe will change… That’s why I want you to spend time with them.”
Fate suddenly begins to move. A life with the otherworldly him, whom you thought you would never cross paths with, is incredibly exciting… A once-in-a-lifetime premium romance begins.
