The story is about two conjoined sisters, Iconji and Amaia. Born joined at the waist, they were abandoned by their parents at a hospital and grew up in an orphanage. They were often bullied and mistreated, but they found solace in each other's company. One day, they were adopted by a man named Mr. Lee, who turned out to be a cruel and manipulative person who used them for his circus business. The sisters soon discovered that Mr. Lee was involved in animal trafficking and decided to expose him to the police. As a reward, they received a large sum of money, which they initially planned to use for a separation operation. However, when their long-lost mother appeared, claiming that their father was sick and needed their help, Amaia decided to use the money for their father's treatment instead. But they soon discovered that their parents were scamming them and had no intention of using the money for their father's treatment. Feeling betrayed, the sisters left their parents and decided to go through with the separation operation. They were successfully separated without any complications and were finally free to live their lives as they wanted.
