Gorou promises a safe birth, but little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure would result in her premature death, or so he thought.

With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon discovers that show business is full of thorns and that talent does not always bring success. Will he be able to protect his beloved idol's smile?
