Following a diagnosis of a potentially fatal brain tumor, Kang Hye Soo, a desperate single mother, consents to donate a portion of her liver to her boss's mother. In return, she expects to receive a substantial amount of money, which she hopes to leave for her daughter’s future. To successfully navigate the screening process, they must marry legally and persuade the hospital that they are in a long-term relationship. What they naively believed would be a simple transaction between just the two of them quickly escalates in complexity as others become involved, including her 7-year-old daughter. It becomes evident that wealth alone does not guarantee happiness, and that love is what truly enriches life.
