Story:

Doujima Outarou is a top host in a host club “Narcissus”. Suave and gentle-looking on the outside, he’s in fact a scum who pursues nothing but money and power. Due to an incident 12 years ago, the aloof Doujima doesn’t believe in love, and is only interested in raising his social status. He targets the daughter of hotel magnate and Namiki Group’s president who reportedly has personal assets worth 10 billion yen. However, a mysterious lady suddenly appears before him and gives him a “kiss of death”, which he dies from but wakes up 7 days in the past…
