Episode 1 Plot: Chiyuki Fujito has pursued her dream of becoming a top model. Eight years prior, her growth spurt suddenly stopped, which made her way below the 175cm mark necessary for models. Even so, she resolves not to give up. In class, she gets to know Ikuto Tsumura, where she inadvertently discovers his dream of becoming a fashion designer. After telling Ikuto of the impossibility of his dream, Chiyuki beats herself down for discouraging someone and tries for another agency. While she is accepted, Chiyuki ultimately decides to renew her initial dream instead, approaching Ikuto to design clothes for her. Chiyuki once again declares her convictions in front of the judges, including top model Shizuku Naruoka, who catches a glimpse of Paris from her aura and appearance. Chiyuki is finally accepted, and she cries tears of joy over becoming a member of the agency that shares the same meaning as her name, as "Mille Niege" in French means "thousand snow". On the street, Chiyuki has her photo taken and a top model named Seira post it online, earning instant fame. Ikuto is then let into the agency after Chiyuki's father wishes to buy the design of her outfit.
