Summary
As a tired survivor of an abusive relationship, you step off a mountain train and are mistaken for the missing mayor of a tiny town fondly called Bellwood.
Slipping into the role “just for a day” becomes your new lifeline: the job conveniently solves your lack of work, a renovated house—courtesy of shrewd but kind developer Tom Nook—gives you a safe place that’s finally yours alone, and the townsfolk gently pull you into a community that expects care, not perfection.
As you juggle a ceremonial tree plantings, odd jobs to chip away at your loan, and quiet nights rebuilding a once-abandoned home, you slowly accept that this accidental life might be worth claiming. Along the way, a slow-burn romance sparks with Tom Nook himself, the soft-spoken tanuki whose contracts and renovations hide a surprisingly tender heart, forcing the “mayor” to confront whether you can trust again when the person you're falling for is the one holding the deed to your fresh start.

Summary
As it has been known throughout history, a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Whether or not the truth of such a statement is based on the occupants of a town, or a simple rumor gown awry, who is to truly say.
And if three such men were to move into the neighbor, why, who is to say that all three could not fall into such a category? Would not such an event be seen as fate, or even a storybook come to life. The only one to decide such an outcome would be you.
