Moon Jugyeong has spent her adult life dominating the broadcast television industry as an elite Chief Producer. Highly competent, sharp, and intensely workaholic, her career operates without flaw, contrasting sharply with her non-existent personal life. Having never experienced genuine romantic connection, Jugyeong regards relationships as superfluous distractions. Everything fractures during a volatile farewell gathering for her predatory supervisor, executive director Hwang Teo. Seeking retribution against Teo's toxic workplace conduct, a rogue celestial entity aims an arrow of forced infatuation at the executive, only for the trajectory to miss and pierce Jugyeong directly.

The misfired supernatural affliction triggers an acute bodily crisis: unless Jugyeong establishes mutual affection, the resulting cardiac fever will turn fatal. Fleeing the venue in delirium, she collides with Do Hyeonu, a part-time venue employee. One glance activates the curse's emotional bonding mechanism, prompting an uncontrollable confession. While the initial encounter temporarily staves off biological collapse, reality hits when Hyeonu arrives as a newly recruited subordinate at Jugyeong's production company. Juggling relentless broadcasting deadlines, executive hostility from Hwang Teo, and the literal threat of cardiac arrest, Jugyeong must pursue mutual romantic commitment under rigid professional scrutiny.
